A PILGRIMAGE OF THE "WHITE " 343 



is on the wrong track. Switch off — the quicker the 

 better — and back out from the dangerous hallucination 

 that the piling of money is the top and bottom of 

 human bliss. Life is not made up of dollars and 

 cents, nor does its chief enjoyment lie in scraping 

 them together. As you surely know it can be lived 

 but once, shouldn't you like to hang on to your scarce 

 and slippery " once " as long as possible ? Of course 

 you should and therefore 'twould be wise to drop your 

 drudgery for a while and spend a little of your time 

 and more of your pile in the pursuit and capture of 

 Health. However, don't mistake my meaning. I am 

 quite aware that money cannot purchase Health, 

 though it may buy doctors by the gross and physic by 

 the cartload. But it may lure the hygienic dame in a 

 roimdabout way. It can bribe her handmaid Recre- 

 ation, whose services will wriggle you into the good 

 graces of her mistress, and quicker than all the 

 world's doctors or the swallowing of their question- 

 able physic. Selah.
