EXCLUSIVE Folk
BY NORA COLE SKINNER

circles only stamps us as very small
people. A small circle with any
excuse for existence should be as
the pebble dropped In quiet waters,
the little waves move out and move
out until they spread over the whole
face OF the pond.
The waves OF the human circle
can spread the same and touch the
lives OF thousands until it becomes
n quick and powerful circle.
Exclusive. Why was such a word
ever horn? Why did women ever
clasp 1t to their hearts as something
TO be desired, here in a world of
neighbors, all at some time needing
help?
One cannot isolate herself and say
II is her privilege IL she pleases, for
It affects others and unless we live
for others we are so much waste.
Each life touches some other life,
helps 1t along lifts 10 up. II one
breaks the chain, just so much
weakness follows, and IL you shut
yourself in Just so much darkness
surrounds you.
DO you think II sounds sentimental
TO talk about the house by the side
OF the road? It does to those who
like the word exclusive" TO others
there is no nobler ambition and no
better way TO express II than In the
lines--"Let me live in house by
the side of the road, and be friend
to man"
Everybody needs friend. We are
great according to the number oi
friends we have. for we can't have
friend without being a friend In
turn.
Let the darkness out.
