Being alive is not enough, In what
way are you alive? Are you alive
in a sick way or in a healthy way?
In a happy way or in despairing
way?
What have you permitted yourself
to develop into as the years went
by: a person who is unnerved
crushed, hopeless, querulous, cow
ardly in spirit, always tired, full
of feelings of sickness? Or are
you living with strength, and get
ting the best that is possible out of
life?
There is another question still
more important. What are you train
ing yourself to be next year, and the
year after, and ten years from now:
ailing, weak, and human failure?
Or are you training yourself to be-
come progressively more adequate,
more sturdy, more courageous, more
gallant in spirit, stronger for dealing
with life and its daily challenge?
What is your being alive leading to
for yourself, for others whose lives
are intertwined with yours, for hui
mainly at large, for civilization and
its future?
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1940-10-22

Your life both now and in the
years to come depends upon the
mental and emotional and spiritual
habits that you are now cultivating.
Being alive wasn't meaing much
to Mrs. G. A., few years ago. For five
years she had been feeling sick, and
finally had got herself into such a
state that the ticking of a clock, the
sound of running water, the clatter
of dishes, the noises of children at
play, were things that she couldn't
stand.'
She was blue and melancholy and
was "tired-tired-tired!" She shun-
ned people, and would cross the
street if she sw friend approach

What led Mrs. G. into such a
state? Financial worry, marital dis
harmony, and the extra labors
brought upon by sick Father and
mother who lived az some distance
were the outward causes. But the
real cause was inward: the loss OF
courage. Mrs. C. had permitted her
spirit to droop and faint.
If you could meet her now what
would you see? A woman strong

courage, the picture of health and

What brought about the change?
New habits of thinking. The story

had nothing but was happy" she
says, made deep impression upon
her when she heard it at the
thought control class, and she ap-
piled the lesson to herself. She de-
cided that if there was no money
for a movie she Gould get recreation
by going window shopping. She de-
cided that seeing people is better

The woman whose vocabulary is

In other words, the person who
says such things as II desire to
purchase" instead Of IT would like
to buy or rendered him q ban

and uses so few words that her
conversation is fiat and colorless.

When you are introduced to any

Household Hints
Decorators Discover Importance
of Desks In The Modern Scheme
Rx MARIAN YOUNG

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
New York-The well-placed, utili-
tartan desk usually is the most used
and. best loved piece Of furniture
in the living room. In addition, 1T
often means the difference between
a perfectly decorated room and one
that seems to need something else.
Professional decorators are putting
office desks in living rooms small,
compact types in rooms with little
space to spare, larger varieties a.
cross ample windows or at right
angles to wide wall panels. They
still like secretaries and breakfronts,
of course, but the hat-topped desk
strikes their fancy at the moment.
GROUP DESK WITH
OTHER FURNITURE
It's smart to put a fiat-topped
desk-face out--in front of the
windows in one end of long, mar
row living room, leaving adequate
space between desk and windows for
q comfortable desk chair and a
waste basket. If you have an alcove,
use desk there, backed against
the wall. A handpainted wall paper
panel, a long narrow print, hang
ing book-Shelves or a group of small
prints may be used effectively on
the wall behind the desk.
There's new look about the fur
niture grouping which includes fiat
topped desk and large sofa, placed
back to back, with a coffee table
in front of the sofa and chair be-
hind the desk. The desk lamp can
double as a reading lamp for the
sofa.
When there just isn't space for
desk in the living room, it's an
excellent idea to put one in front
of the bay windows in the dinning
room.
