to "joy." What is joy-or does it exist?

A famous artist said he had never met it, in a long and varied career.

"If you mean achievement," he said "Yes. One has it with the finish of a picture, or any work on which one is engaged.

"If you mean marriage-one has it in the first halcyon days-rarely afterwords.

"If you mean health, one has it. and enjoys it while it is there. But

CONTRARY to the belief that her only joy is a rise in salary (which is mainly gratification when it comes), she will experience the greatest joy in a word of praise, in season, from the right man; and just as much in a colleague's con- fidence.
