The love of rem iniscence Is deep-
rooted In us. We do not need to have
length of years in order to possess It.
All we need to have Is a consciousness
of the past as past. Some years ago
a little friend of mine, then four years
old, attained a new phrase, “Dou't you
rem em ber?" I say "attained." because
It was evident th a t she had not only
enlarged her field of expression by a
new word, but th at she had enlarged
her field of experience by a new sensa
tion—the sensation of rem iniscence.
For the phrase, “Don't you rem em
b er?” alw ays ushered In a story out
of her sm all past, some event of the
preceding w inter or sum m er, some
glim pse of history In which Bhe had
been actor w itness. It was alw ays u t
tered with shining eyes and a flush of
delight, which deepened If I was able
to catch her rem iniscence and recog
nize and enjoy It with her. Yet tho
things rem em bered were very simple
—a drive, a walk, a kitten, a child wa
terin g his garden or falling down. The
pleasure came, clearly, not from the
original quality of the experience, but
from the very act of rem em bering. She
was tasting the pure pleasure of rem i
niscence. W atching her, I fell to won
dering w hat was the precious quality
of this pleasure whose flavor she was
beginning to taste.—A tlantic Monthly.
An Englishm an and his wife have
recently had a honeymoon, th e second
since th eir m arriage. They left the
babies a t home and w ent to the place
w here they w ent on the day they w ere
m arried and stayed as long as they
could stand It. They didn’t like it a t
all. They didn't see how they'd m an
aged on th eir previous honeym oon—
w ithout the children! In short, th e
tim es had changed and honeym ooning

Honeym oons do read well.
We h ear about people going on them
and we think we'd ra th e r like to go
along. O r go again. But If we did—
really, I think going again would be
alm ost as bad as going along! I
guess the English couple sized It up
correctly.
