some child happy and It was said
there was nothing ne $40 much loved
and wanted as to see the light OF
laughter in child's eyes. So the
story ran on. There is always the
story II Lady Bountiful who. often
chiiless, spends her time with the
poor and suffering that she may
bring happiness TO others from her
store. Are these hobbies? If so,
they are certainly close to the better

worth while. II seems that anything
that feeds ones soul, is always to be
sought Perhaps it Is a desire for

music, for a wonderful painting by
some OF the masters for an osqui-
site bit Of marble that has been
chisolcd into the form OF something
divine. These feed the soul through
a sense all our own. but better far
than these, is the doing for others
which brings happiness, not only to,
ourselves but to others.

perhaps luncheon or two for a
small group after golf. Hostesses $
are not numerous and the only thing
one hears about is thcater party

tables Of which the personnel is

announcement OF some. interesting
autumn weddings. Several of Tulsa y
very popular girls will be numbered
..lamonG these and OF course there
arc 10 be the usual number of at

which will be read about with un-
usual interest.
Speaking Of society affairs, wheth-
or they be large or small, there IS
ore feature that rarely ever gets
into society columns and that is the
opportunity people have in meeting
one another and allowing the path

more Of the superficial when II
comes to conversation, and the
chance to get next to the heart OF
