"A GOOD FRONTv

A famous self-made man once de-
clared that if he were out of a job
and had only 500, he'd spend the 20
for a suit Of clothes because he knew
how important it was to make q fav-
orable first impression-that is, he
would put up good front"
And that's all right.
But another man-who lived long
time ago-but whose influence will
probably be felt long after the self
made man has been forgotten, made
this observation:
: IF I had two pence, I would buy
bread with one and with the other
would buy white hyacinths for the

good Of my soul"
The difference between the two

The difference between the two
men was that the one was concerned
chiefly about the outer man, while
the other was careful about the inner
man.
Both bits of advice are valuable and
both are necessary. But the old sage
who advised that the inner man be
built up first was the wiser of the
two, for the soul Of a man is of great
er importance.
j You can't hide a starved soul by
putting up good front-it's bound
to show through.
And to those who see, 1t makes a
man look hungrier and more pitiful
than he who wears a shiny coat and
dimes on a crust Of bread.-Pensacola
