SEEN AT. ETA I PHI BETA FORMAL

Among the guests of Eta Phi ~Derathy Carson and Louis Ha
ley,

The divine meaning of a true
friendship is that it is often the
first unveiling of the secret of
of love. It is not an _ end
in iiself, but has most of its
worth in what it leads to, the
priceless gift of seeing with the
heart rather than with the eyes,
To love one soul for its beauty
and grace and truth is, to open
the way to appreciate all beautiful and true and gracious
souls, and to recognize spiritual
beauty wherever it iS seen,

Tne possibility at least -of
fri~éndship must be a faith with
us, The cynical attitude is an offense, It is possible to find in
phe world. ~true-hearted, leak
and faithful
man and man, To doubt the
divine in life. Faith,in man is
essential.to faith in God. In
spite of all deceptions and disillusicnments, in spite of all
sham fellowships, in spite of
the flagrant caSes of self-interest and callous cruelty, we must
keep clear and bright our faith
in the possibilities of our nature. The man who hardens his
heart because he has been imposed on has no real belief in
virtue, and with suitable circumstances could become the
deceiver instead of the deceived, The great miracle of friendship with its infinite wonder and
beauty may be denied to us,
and yet we may believe in it,
To believe that it is superbest
form it NaS never come to us.
To possess it, is to have one
of the world~s sweetest gifts,

Aristotle defines friendship as

There is no explaining,such a
relationship, but there is ~no denying it. It has not deserted the
world since Aristotle~s time Some
modern poets have sung it with
as brave a faith as ever poet of
old. What splendid monuments
to friendship -we possess in
Milton~s ~Lycidas~ and Tennyson~s ~In. Memoriam.~ In both
there is the recognition of spirjtual power of it, as well as the
joy and comfort it brought, The

| grief is tempered by an awed

b

dealing between:
_out

Friendship By Hugh Black

wonder and a glad memory.,
The finest of feature of Rud
yard Kipling~s work and it is al.

constant feature of it, is the

1 comradeship between common
place soldiers of no high moral
or spiritual attainment, and yet
it is the strongest force in their
lives and of occasion makes heroes of them, We feel that their
faithfulness to each other is almost the only point at which
their.souis are reached, The
threefold cord of his Soldiers,
vulgar in mind and common in
thought as they are, is a cord
which we feel is not easily
broken and it is their friendship
and loyalty to each other which
save them from utter vulgarity.

Lets Talk
About Health

Norma Marcere
Health is much more than
merely not being ~sick in bed.~
The normal functioning of all
parts of the body means joy
fultress,~ cheerfulness and_ efficiency, as well as the ability
to ao a full day~s work, with
more than a healthful fatigue, Health, means attractiveness, courage and enthusiasm
for life.

Our recent war emphasized
the difference between the man
who was fit for combat and the
man who had only sufficient
vigor to carry on a light occupation. So our. définition of
health should also mean, complete physical fitness. Good
health is developed by habit, by

doing, and not merely by think
ing, or wishing or knowing.

Thousands of human beings in
every walk of life suffer from
physical defects,
not have developed under proper habits of living, Get the hab
it oF eating proper food; get the
habit of proper rest,~ living
clean, (soap and wate? kills
germs).

I am sure if we all take heed
to what has been written here,
cur health problem would be
less critical,

Retarding Paint ~Skinning~

The careful flowing of a smali
quantity of turpentine over the surface of the paint in @ partially used
ean, which is being set aside for only
a few days, will generally prevent
a ~skin~ from forming on the paint.
In addition, the lid of the paint can
should be handled carefully to avoid
shaking. It should be borne in
mind that this is mereiy a tempo
rary procedure.
