BOREDOM AND HAPPINESS
BY GLENN FRANK


"When people are bored they gen.
orally look about for new pleasure
or take holiday. There is no greater
mistake. What they want Is some
| hard piece Of work-some protective
drudgery.
doctors are fond of sending their
| fashionable patients to take a rest
cure. v nine cases out Of ten.
| work cure would do them far more
good"
An illustration of this principle of
| happiness through work is the well
known Lloyd George story.
Under the stress of war days Lloyd
George appeared at meeting looking
rested and refreshed. when those
around him bore marks of strain.
"How do you manage to keep fit
under all this work and worry?" he
| was asked.
oh" said the mercurial Welshman,
"you KIN, w. with m, a change OF
| troubles Is as good as a vacation"
The essence of happiness is joy,
| which is something more fundamental
than pleasure.
Pleasure is a temporary stimulation
| OF the senses.
Joy is an abiding state Of mind that
grows out of a sense of harmonious
adjustment to ones job and to ones
universe.
Pleasure may come from play; joy
comes from creative work.

In one way or another, We are all
engaged in the adventure Of snaring
the blue bird of happiness.
A vast amount of futile sentimen'

sickened us with the sweetness OF
their exhortations, but the conquest OF
happiness remains one of the most
practical issues of existence.
There is always some quack doctor
of the spirit at our elbow urging us
to play horse with our intelligence.
telling us that all we need to do to be
happy is to stand still, look up and
think beautiful thoughts.
Most of us are too little the mystic
and the poet to arrive at happiness by
that route alone.
Most OF us prefer to say, with Dean
Inge, "If l can help 1t, l will play no

With her love Of pleasure, her

swept away utterly BY single

sat in the dingy room. in the
loneliness and the silence, trying
to think what to do.
No use ordering George. Per

less. She had promised fervently

her promise had not lasted three

that for George there was really

y She must marry Bill Warren.
With his boyishness, his youth,

Instead, she swung on her heel
and walked deliberately back to

behind her.
1t seemed that Millie was afraid
to 20 on with the battle. There
was no other way OF explaining
her behavior.
All morning long Sally thought
the thing over, when she was alone

dishes, changing the linen on
Beau's bed, making q plate of to-

SloAn's pink asters, in order to
make him think that she was the

would find pleasure in little gar

Perhaps, then, Mabel knew
things about her that nobody else
knew! Things that Sally did not
know, and that John Nye did not
know. After all, she and Mabel
had worked side by side in Bur-
