Too much stress cannot be Laid
upon the value Of friendship ut any
time. but in times when so much
turmoil and hatred are flooding the
world. it is even more important
that at any other time. We are
advised to get away from formal
entertaining and going out. and
back to the ways OF having people
in for small evenings OF close fell
lowship. The children of the world
feel keenly the need of a sense OF
security, which can best be salts
fed by including them as much a
possible in our plans. In keeping
with this there are many new and
amusing games being introduced on
the market constantly. You will
find that by having a group Of con-
genial people present, these gath
erings will run" themselves. There
IS no warmth like that which an
anates from ture friendships and
no social experience that compen.
safes for dearth of them. The
ingredient that contributes to re-
tanning and forming friends most
richly is a sense of humor. n Il
does in all relationships Despite
the solemnity of the work in which
you find yourself hold on to your
sense OF humor and it will see you
through many tight places" Re-
member laugh and the world
laughs with you. Cry and you
cry alone"
