Has Depression a Bright , Side?

“ ne 0f the Worst Phases of the Depression is >1 Remembering What You Used to Have—

But Since it Can’t be Helped, Why Not Appreciate the Full Flavor of 1 Whatever You Have Left? Q

y In these times of depression the world ls full of the ivails and lamen- tntions of those who have "seen better days," as the phrase goes. Theirs “ indeed, a sad lot, for no one will dispute the poet's assertion that "a sorrows crown of sorrw is remembering happier things." To have known riches and luxury and to be east down into the hard trays of sordid poverty. to , have been feted and flattered and admired and g their thrust into obscurity, to have known love and ' to be left lonely and forsaken, is to be tormented by tastes and habits that; caiiiiot be gratified, by de- sires that cannot be realized, by liuiniliations ti‘ t are alivays fresh, by longings that leave the heart open with emptiness, Fate can deal a human being no crueler blow than that.

IHHHIHHiH-ZIH '1 ‘wlilfllililwln

Fortunately, however, there is another side to _ tllls dark picture, although we seldom contemplate it. And just as our nfemory of the good times we have had and lost deepens our misery, so the memory of’ sorrows we have endured heightens our enjoyment of the gdod things that come to us.

‘I. The most common illustration of this is in our health. We may go along for years being hale and hearty and think nothing of it and have n; particular sense of ivell-beirig. Then let sickness come to us, let our bodies be torn with suffering, let the fear oi death cast its dark shadow oiier us, and then let health return to us again.

I It is no commonplace then. It is a miracle. Just the relief of being out of pain, of being able to sleep again, of being able to eat once more, fills us with happiness, and when we feel our strength coming back and realize that we will soon be able to take up our ordinary lives again, we are flooded with a surging joy. It is so wonderful to be well agiiinl

And it's the some way with money. The people who have always been ricli, who have been full-fcd, who have only had to write a check for‘ anything they thought they wanted in order to possess it, miss all the finest flavor of having the things one wants because they have always had them and so have no standard oi comparison.

'I‘he man who llllll sat down to a fine dinner every day of his life has iio silcrial relish tor it and finds fault if the chef has put a dash too much or a grain too little of seasoning in a. sauce. It takes the mun who has gone hungry in his youth, and who looks back upon the time when he thought he had a feast if he had all the corned beef and cabbage he could eat, to really savor s. good meal and offer up a genuine thanksgiving in his heart every time he sits down to a. well-spread table.

The iionian who has always been lapped in luxury, who has always had beautiful clothes and lived in lovely houses and hos had somebody to _st-.uid between her and the world, is often peevish and fretful and dis- contented. But to the woman who had had a. hard, starved girlhood, who has had to scrimp and save in order to get the cheap, sleazy silk to make her a gown, who has gone without lunches to buy her a pair of near-silk stockings, it seems a fairy tale come true just to be able to buy licr a pair of near-silk stockings, it seems a, fairy talc come true just to beiable to buy-qt decent outfit of clothes.

The woman who has never had a homo/oi’ her own before gets mori

Wlicn a young man marries a girl who is sweet and amiable and unselfish and who makes him a. pleasant and comfortable home, lie thinks he is getting no more than is coming to him, and he doesn't feel called upon to

So with a girl. Ii she gets a. husband who is domestic and faithful and considerate and courteous and kind and generous, she considers that he is doing no more than his duty and is nothing to write home about. But let; either one draw a grouchy, cantankerous, selilshqziuarrelsome, disagreeable mate inllie matrimonial lottery, and then if fate is kind enough to give thcm a second throw oi the dice and they win a bliie-rlb- bon prize husband or wife, they realize their luck. They know all the things that a hateful husband or wife can do to They know how unhappy a home can be, and so they know how to appreciate tenderness and sympathy and understanding when they get it and to value a home that is o. haven of rest and peace. We often wonder why we are called upon to endure hardships and Perhaps it is to enable us to enjoy the more the blessings

Little Wilfred had been absent from Sunday School, and the teach- er called to inquire why,

“The real reason," said the boy's mother, because I fear he is learning things that tend to make him mischievous."

"Mischievous?" exclaimed the astonished teacher. “I don't under- stand how Sunday School could have that effect on him."

“You see," explained the parent, “it's like this: The last time Wilfred went to Sunday School he came home convinced that people are made of dust, and I found him try- ing to, draw his little sister into the vacuum cleaner."

Irritated, she turned to her hus- band. “Fred I wish you wouldn't talk out of the corner of your mouth like that. It gets on my nerves."

“I cant help it, dear," countered the‘ hen-peeked husband. “It's through always trying to get a word in edgeways."

"Why not?" responded Anthony, "1 like your friends the Flynns, and young Joe deserves a better deal than he seems to have, been given so far. Perhaps we can do some- thing about it. Who knows?”

"I've ‘ad three ices," she remark- ed, "an’ don't find I could take any more Just now."

Anthony paid the bill and follow- ed the transformed Rosemary out of the restaurant. I-le could see only her back in boy's suit and cap and ovcrlarge shoes. If he had seen her face he would have seen that she was fighting unboylsh tears.

At the door she turned on him a. face that was again that of a Cock- new waif. She held out a small brown hand that was scratched and

Still, he knew that a further and more arduous test oi his new find would come later. He might not work in well at rehears- als with the company. A further all-important test would follow, that of the footlights, those ruth- less searchers out of the amateur.

Atkinson, the director, came in later, and listened to a second read- ing of the lines.

He grunted doubtfully when he had heard.
