Social DIARY and Gossip
! ~ at4sI
BY GRACE GRUNDY

Live easy. Therein lies the secret of
a happy home. Nothing short of
souls vation-not cleanliness, nol
style, nor fashion, nor social suprem-
acy-is worth overstrain. Take what
ever comes as all in the days work.
Be master or mistress of yourself,
though china falls" Fretting helps
nothing mends nothing. Instead it
makes trifes loom into bad matters,
and bad matters into real calamities.
Nothing ever happens so bad it might
not be worse. Remember that when
troubles mount up and skies most
darkly lower. Be as avid, as eager,
in acclaiming, in recognizing mercies,
deliverances, blessings, as you are
wont to be in pouncing upon griev-
ances, and see if it does not pay.
Nothing in life is worth fussing over
continuously. Preach all day long the
gospel of good cheer-and preach it
twice-in actions stronger than in
words.
