Several years ago, one of our
dearest friends lost her husband.
Her loss was irreparable for their
lives had been very closely inter
woven and they had become de
pendent upon each other. There
were no children nor close rela
tives to comfort her in her loneli
ness and she was inconsolable.
For weeks she denied herself
to all friends and visitors and
when she finally did emerge
she brought her grief with her
and clothed herself in the
deepest crepe of melancholy.
Her friends had to guard every
word they uttered for fear of
touching a sensitive nerve and
thus open the flood gate of
tears she seemed to have ready
at all times. The strain soon
began to tell to the extent that
before long she found herself
left more and more to her own
company.
Then she developed a most re
bellious spirit which plainly made
itself felt in her conversation, her
manner and even in her face. She
demanded to know of any just rea
son why so splendid a man as her
husband should be taken and dere
licts left that were of no value to
the world or themselves. We. who
had seen sorrow at its deepest,
tried to remonstrate with her but
got exactly nowhere. She was so
firmly entrenched in the idea that
she had been the victim of an out
rageous wrong and nothing could
convince her otherwise.
We will never know exactly
what happened to her but, sud
denly, one day she came to her
senses. She could hardly wait
to tell us, and we could hardly
believe what she was saying.
"All at once I realized I was not
grieving for the dead. I was griev
ing for myself," she explained.
"Every time I wept in public I was
asking for sympathy for myself,
not consolation. How I could have
been so blinded to decency, I sti
do not understand."
We understood, only too
well. The world is a kindly
and sympathetic world but it
Is, also, a very busy world and

if it took to its heart all the
trials and tribulations of its
peoples, there would be no
time jior opportunity to attend
to far more important things.
We arc all units in a composite
whole and it is up to each and
every one of us to fulfill the
duty in life that has been as
signed to us.
Each man has his own cross on
his shoulder and it is hardly fair
to lilt one end of our cross and
add it to the weight of his. He may
be. and probably is, more than will
ing 10 give us uie assistance we
crave but still we contend that we
nre not playing the game fair when
we. impose on his generosity.
Keal grief never parades for
inspection. It is something
that is ours and ours alone,
and must be kept closely
guarded. There never was a
truer saying than: "Laugh, and
the world laughs with you.
Weep, and you weep alone."
The fact that one tries to
strangle tears with a laugh
does not mean that the sorrow
is any the less nor the pain
any the less severe. It simply
means that one is thinking a
mi more of the other fellow
than of his own feelings. When
a hand is extended, let it be to
help the other man by your
side rather than to pull your
self out of a rut.
The next time you feel an in
clination to tell a long list of your
woes and worries, stop a second
and remember that your listener

can hardly take much interest in
yours. Instead, can't you think of
some little ioolishness you've heard
or react, and pass it on? At least,
you both will forget for the mo
ment the pressure on your heart
and. strange as it mav seem a so.
ond laugh isn't half so hard after
uie way is broken.
You're not forgetting-, when
you laugh, but you are remem
bering that there are others in
this busy world who need that
laugh to make the load a wee
bit lighter.

GREAT AMERICAN TOURIST

If you are the heir of rVtlumhuo
Balboa, Ponce de Leon, the Pilgrim
tattlers, Daniel Boone and all
their pioneer sons and Brand sons
you are the Great American Tour
ist, and there isn't murh vmi -an
do about it except grab your hat
and your road man who
catch an unguarded day. You are
one of the 49 per cent of vnnr fol
low Americans who are addicted
to trips. Those in the East go
west, in the North go South and
double vice versa, while those in
me middle toss a coin.
America, in contrast tn F.nrnnn
was slow in advertising her own
attractions. It was only in Febru
ary of 1937 that a United States I
Travel Bureau was finally estab
lished as an adjunct of the Na
tional Park Service and plans
made for an active campaign,
writes Helen Peary Washburn in
the Christian Science Monitor.'
