ENJOYMENT OF LIFE.
* "The (thief lesson of this life i#, $ um sure, lo east away fear,” writes Mr. Hugh Walpole, the novelist, in the 'Sunday' Express. “Wfe start life afraid qf everything—afraid of •pain, of social contempt, of our own weakness and stupidity, of poverty, iof loneliness. ' I mm still afraid of all these things, but not so badly afraid ia's I used to be, and I know, in .my- heart that there is no need to be afraid at all. A# one grows, the personal factor diminishes: d»iie possibility of accident to onesdjf is still terrifying, hut one realises at last that, whatever happens, the growth <of one’s interest, one’s sympathy,' one’s history, widens and extends. It is not achievement that brings thappiness, although it may contribute to it: it is belief iti the worth-while quality of the stieff of life, however it is experienced, however eucoun- , ■tcred.” /. s m I
