REAL HAPPINESS

1t did you good to watch them, those two couples who
had come to the beach for a days outing. They were just
ordinary folk as the saying goes. Possibly a couple of
young mechanics and their wives. But they looked so con-
tented, so genuinely happy as they sat on the sand and talked
together.
Then when meal time came, what a JOY it was to see
their enthusiasm in the preparation of a meal. Dry sand
witches, sprinkled perhaps with a few grains of sand, soggy
cake and for their drink the juice of an orange-was that
their meal?-not a bit of it.
Finding an old board and some stones, the men pro-
ceeded to build a table, after which one of the women drew
from her lunch basket a snowy white tablecloth. With the
help Of more stones and canned heat, coffee was soon steam
ing in the coffee pot; and how carefully that coffee was
watched by one of the young husbands. From their spacious
basket the women folk proceeded to draw forth food, dell
cious looking enough to set before a king; chicken salad IN a
huge bowl, cantaloupes, nut bread and delicate little cakes
each wrapped separately and iced with different colored
icing.
Just ordinary folk you call them. Maybe they were,
but no multimillionaire, with his camping outfit, his costly
delicacies and perhaps his Japanese servant to prepare the
meal for him, could have gotten more real happiness OUT 0 l
his outing than did this happy quartette.
So trne but so true it is that real happiness must come
from within.
