Ever Look Ahead and Wonder?
Today. your way Of life is won
derful Ever stop to think it might
be changed over night?
We all know friends who have
been on top Of the world, so to
speak. And we have seen them
come down, not too gracefully.
While you ARE on top Of the
world" live with your friends and
be such a friend that if that day
should come, your friends will
say, there is nothing they would
not do for you because you were
so nice when you were comfort
ably situated.
But how do you act (some of
YOU! Because you were FORUM
ate enough to marry a man who
is able TO make life very comfort
able for you, you get the false
idea you are better than the ma
jority Of your friends. You begin
to forget the friends you have
known and start reaching out for
others who had never known you
were on earth. These are what
you call bought friends"
Your former friends feel hurt,
50, before you know It, you do not
have any real close friends any
more.
Life goes merrily on for years
and you are enjoying yourself
very much. Almost over night
your way of life has been changed.
You are not seen around any more
and so you are soon forgotten by
your bought friends"
New friends are wonderful and
we should all make and keep new
friends. But because you make
new friends don't forget your old
friends. Keep both. Your life will
be much happier.
Real happiness is cheap enough,
yet how dearly we pay for its
counterfeit.-Ho Hosea Ballou

First, you nearly tainted when
you read they wanted to visit you.
Then you said il was too hot to
have house guests. Ut was just
this hot when you visited them
last year,. So, you sat down and
told them you were too III to have
them at this time, but at some
future date when your health was
better you would love to have
them come.
You didn't know they had their
vacation date set nor that another
couple was making the trip with |
them and this couple would be Wis
iting friends in the same block /.
you lived in!
You were the first person they
saw when they arrived in the Twin
Cities. They asked you how you
felt and you said you had never
felt better in your life.
You are stin wondering latter
five years. why you have never
received any letters from your
friend. This is the reason.
There is no man so friendless
but what he can find a friend
sincere enough to tell him disa-
greeable truths Bulwer-Lyton.
