•kl ned the sample invitation his
wife had handed him. "So we're
having a New Yoar get-together?
I think it*, a wonderful idea.
Mary. It’ll give me a chance to
show those three brothers of mine
how well THEY might have done.
They never would listen to me in
business matters.”
“Torn and James haven’t fared
too badly,” said Mary. "But poor
Edward has had a hard time of
it. It rather makes me proud of
you, dear. You're so far ahead of
the rest of the clan.”
Henry bowed. He felt that he
had earned his wife’s praise.
“Spare no expense on this party,
honey,” he said. “I want my
younger brothers and their fam-
ilies to remember this New Year's
Eve as long as they live. Do you
think we should send Edward the
train fare? He’s got four kids,
you know.”
Correction
“Five,” Mary corrected him.
“But you’re forgetting that Ed-
ward also has the Waterford
pride. He wouldn’t accept the
money if we sent it. Remember
the fuss he made about that lot
you gave him?”
"Do I? And he insisted on giv-
ing me the twenty-five shares of
stock that dad had left him. When
I wanted to set him up in business
he wouldn’t hear of it. Sometimes

Eve and Henry glowed with

holding him back. What do you
think?”
"I'm sure I don’t know, dear,”
■aid Mary. "But please don’t em-
barrass any of your brothers.”
They all showed up New Year’s
Eve. Henry glowed with pride
while his three brothers and their
families ‘oohed’ and ‘aahed’ their
way through the richly furnished
house.
"You’ve done real well, Henry,”
said Tom approvingly as he
reached for his second cocktai'..
Henry shrugged. "And how are
you boys doing?”
Reports
"James has been made sales
manager of his company,” said
plump Mrs. James Waterford
proudly.
"And Tom got himself a promo-
tion only last week,” said tvat
brother’s wife, not to be outdone.
"And Edward?” asked Henry.
"How have you been getting
along?”
“Oh—we’re managing,” said
Edward quietly. “Our assets are
here with us—five healthy chil-
dren.”
Mrs. Tom Waterford coughed.
Henry could see that his brothers
were amused by Edward’s state-
ment. He noticed a glint of scorn
in their silent appraisal of Ed-
ward’s ‘best’ suit.
Suddenly Henry felt guilty. “I
think our Edward has outsmarted
us all,” he said.
"How’s that?” asked James in
surprise.
"Well—just look at him. He’s
surrounded by those who think
he’s a great guy. He’s the picture
of health. I’ll bet you don’t have
some doctor restricting your diet,
do you, Edward?”
Edward smiled. "No. Do you?”
Wisest
“We all do,” said Henry, nod-
ding toward James and Tom.
Neither denied it. “Yes sir, Ed-
ward, you’re pretty foxy. I think
your wisest move was in giving
me that stock to keep for you.”
Edward held out his hand.
"Thanks Henry! You always were
a better business man than I.”
“That's your fault,” said Henry.
"But I can still teach you—if
you'll come into business with
me.”
Edward studied his little flock.
Then his eyes sought Helen’s. She
nodded happily.
"Dinner’s ready!” announced
Mary Waterford. When the others
had filed into the dining room she
caught Henry’s sleeve. “I heard
that story about the stock,” she
said softly. "That was sweet of
you, dear.”
Henry grinned. “That's what
big brothers are for, isn’t it?” he
asked.
