THE BROKEN HEART
BY Beatrice Fairfax

fiasco of what should havo been a
beautiful love, we have learned
something about what not to do.
We have been given q chance to
realize what 1t IL that chiils and
dismisses love. Out Of the un-
happy experience we bring ar
equipment to make US wis,c and
sweeter and worthier when next
love visits us.
Love will come again to every
heart which not only yearns but
prepares for it.
The love which has failed may
be nothing but a preparation for
a mightier love. Perhaps the
power to interpret life will grow
out Of the sad experience Of q
love which has failed.
In the capacity to love is the
key to all life. In the capacity to
surmount suffering Is the key to
all growth.
An unhappy love affair may
wreck the coward. It may cause
the moral weakling to decide that
nothing is worth while-and sink
into degradation and desperation
to prove IT. But II has a far diff.
ferent effect on a fine, big soul.
Such a soul recognizes that un.
happiness may have been Of its
own making-of it's own deserv.
ing. And so it determines to stand
the test and struggle to be worthy
OF life's gifts when next they are
within reach.
Broken hearts mend when once
their possessors are honest enough
to face the situation they have
brought on themselves and to de.
clare:
IT blundered somehow-somc.
where / won't fail again. I'll make
myself deserving OF big love and
then I'll be bound to attract Il.
And once have 1t. I'll hold il.
That much I'm going to get out OF
the seemingly bad experience-the
knowledge and power to hold love
when next / capture it."

CREATING A
BUSINESS
BY VIM. A. McKeever-

1FTEEN years ago two city
X boys, cousins, were attend
u ing n city high school and
working at greenhouse to pay
the expense of their education.
They conceived the idea OF fur
nishing on their own account the
floral decorations for school par
ties and other special occasions.
During the last two years Of
the high school course the floral
art Of these youths became SO
conspicuous as to attract much
favorable publicity, and their
services as decorators became in
creasingly in demand.
Today, the same two, now
young men, are conducting a
beautiful new greenhouse of their
own and in a place where such
an institution would not be ex-
pected to thrive. But the artistic
skill, the clean attractiveness and
the superb business management
of the place have already COM
bined to force its attention upon
the public mind and approval. In
one combined effort these two
young florists have created both.
their own characters and their
successful business enterprise.
Only a few years earlier than
the starting date of the two flor
lists, two young brothers were
struggling with the combined
problem of getting through high
school and serving as printers
assistants for a small wage. They
used their private craft practically
by publishing little "two-by-
four" high school paper. Later
this publication was enlarged
and dignified, becoming the
official organ of the school, and
the brothers were continued as
its managers.
Today l found the two printer
brothers In a country town sue
ceeding with a small daily paper
where such an effort would sup
posedly bring only want and hun
ger. How can II be done? I
asked. And here is a paraphrase
of the reply:
I'VE came here out Of the army
at the close Of the war with prac-
tically nothing. We liked the
place and the people and decided
to create a business by persistence
and hard work.
