Many think of fun as frivolous, indi.

What a complete revolution in your
whole physical and mental being comes
after seeing a really funny playl You
went to the play tired, jaded, worn out
discouraged. All your mental facul.
ties were clogged with brain ash; you
could not think clearly. When you
came home you were a new being.
A business man, on returning home
after a perplexing, exhaustlng, exasper,
