Lists Six Pointers
On Happiness
In a speech at Bowling Green
State University, Dr. Ruth Sea-
bury, Boston, Mass., listed these
six “pointers for happiness":
1. “Understand yourself—don’t
inhale praise and compliments.
They drug your mind so that you
can’t see yourself. Analyze your-
self and look at your shortcom-
ings honestly.
2. “Forget yourself — you nev-
er really live unless you forget
yourself and take a genuine in-
terest in other people.
3. “Fall in love—love is based
on a deep companionship that
goes all through life. It you’re
really in love, you’re spending
yourself not his money.
4. “Find a cause to which vnu
can give your whole life—uer-
hoos social service for children
or for peace. Try to include your
family in this cause.
4. “Find something creative to
do—rra’.e a dross or \\r:!e a
poem. Put yourself in the heart
of creation. Make your leisure
life full of beauty.
6. “Integrate religion in your
life—cultivate the heart and the
si; "’it.”
Dr. Seabury is education score-
lcry of tlie American board of
commissioners of foreign mis-
sions.

Lovers of good music have an
opportunity to hear three or more
good concerts this winter, accord-
ing to an announcement in this
edition by the Paris Civic Music
Association.
Admittance to these concerts is
by membership only and the
Paris Association is inviting mem-
berships from people of this area.
There is a limit to the number of
memberships that can be accepted
and none will be received after
October 27.
Charges for memberships are
$6 for adults and $3 for students,
which includes the federal tax,

A musical education or the ap-
preciation of good music adds
much pleasure to lives of those
who acquire them, and this is an
opportunity for music apprecia-
tion not usually available to resi-
dents of small towns and rural
areas.
JUST A FORM AUT Y
The young man who had been
calling frequently at last went to
see Mabel’s father.
“It’s a mere formality, I know,”
he began, “but we thought it
would be pleasing to you if it
were observed in the usual way.”
“And may I inquire,” the father
asked, “who suggested that ask-
ing my consent to Mabel’s marri-
age was a mere formality?”
“Mabel’s mother.” '
