AMONG US GIRLS

Dear Girls:
Happiness" Any multi-million-
aire in this country wou willingly
exchange all his wealth for happiness.
The little gift of the b,ue bird is the
greatest present in the world.
How to be happy? How many have
always asked that question. How?
One prominent woman says, THE Sc
cret of happiness is to decide what
you most wan in life and hen have
the courage to take it. That is Of
course when the thing you want
doesn't injure others" Doesn't that
sound reasonable? 1t is but the first
big question to decide is what you do
want in life" Is the thing that you
want really and truly worth wanting?
and do you really want it bad enough
to be willing to sacrifice everything
for it?
After all happiness a be obtain
ed only through a set determination
to be happy. Never mind what the
croakers say, never mind what the
pessimists say, never mind what any
one coming in you path may say;
smile and help with a sunny smile.
Try it. it'll get you a long ways. Have
you noticed in this Red Cross CAM
paign? / was standing in the lobby
of a local theatre the other night
waiting for a friend and another lass
was there collecting for the Red
Cross and she said as a SOU faced
individual passed her by: IF a person
refuses to give with a smile you don't
mind, but when they go by with a
cross face, why, you'd just like to
grab them by the collar and make
them pay" SO o see after all the
voice with a smile wins" or the
face with a smile wins" or the per-
son with the smile wins"-"pick your
choice"
do you know this is my first work
in the column? / never took much
interest in Among Us Girls but
ooh, Geer 1 am SO glad 1 started to
read the stories. Some of the stories
are so interesting that ! wish the
whole Evening News was full of them.
Pretty soon. When I start in writing
stories and adventures. l hope they're
ms interesting as some of the other
girls stories. l am a little bit nerV-
Gus about writing to the column, be-
cause I'm afraid my stories won't be
good enough and the girls won't read
them.
But I am going to try real hard to
write good, snappy ones. / wish the
snow would hurry up and come don't
you? It's some sport sleigh-ridingI
and skating, don't you think it is?
Now girls, If you don like the stories
1 write. kindly tell me, but l will try
"sUNFLOWER.F'
AS we already have a "~Goldenrod,"
I have changed YOU name to sun
flower" Do you mind? Yes, I'm
glad to say that We can go back to
our old way of publishing all of the
letters now. Let's ave a lot of them.
/ only received a very few today. BE
- oo1 eanI tyoIIr Stprioc in and LET
me be the judge, won't you? l i'm
agine that they will easily pass the
censor.
