Dear Children: If you wish to
know how to be the happiest in the
world, just do something to make
some one else happy. OF course you
ought not to do things to make peo-
pie happy because you think it VIII
react on you, but it's a fact never
theless that every act of Kindness
that we do gives us a happiness that
we can get from nothing else.
Last week when [ was driving
down the Dixie highway between
Marietta and Atlanta, | lost my
pocketbook. 1t had money in it, and
identificatio tags, and some notes
it a chance to notify me. OF course
none of us can afford to lose money,
but [ know if the finder of that
purse returns it to me. there VIII be
more happiness for him or her In
doing this kindly act than even
can have in it's return.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
