MRS. MERRILL TALKS OF HAPPI-
NESS

Mrs Anthony French Merrill inter
ested. charmed and inspired an audi
ence of more than 100 tri-city women
with her lecture, "A Search for Happi-
ness" yesterday morning in the home
Of Mrs. George W. Mixter, who kindly
opened her home for this occasion.
To be truly happy, Mrs. Merrill said,
one must develop ideals, never forget
ting individual tastes, nor lose a
chance TO develop them in the rush
Of everyday life
Complete happiness in childhood
seems a natural existence and trag-
edies often come before one is made
to know the realities of life and realize
that suffering must come to all peo-
pie, she commended, and told of her
own carefully guarded childhood and
instances that led her to realize life
as it really is. Washington, she said,
is the real American example of hap
piness, for although he was given
every happiness in his boyhood, he
had to meet the bigger things of life
when he became president. but never
did he lose hold of his pleasures and
ideals. always pursuing them after the
accomplishment of his great deeds.
His ideals were in his home and these
he developed to the greatest extent.
She also said in part: Poverty and
looking forward are the keys to hap
pineSs; but to secure happiness one
must not lose sight of avocation, in
pursuing vocation, for often when the
things that are considered happiness,
