m arked about your “softness,”

N ever you mind, th e fellow th a t
can w eep Is a bigger soul than
the one who cannot. So be g!ad
if you are In th e class w here
sadness touches you. It m eans
th a t life has really m eant some­

things and b eau tifu l ideas have
done som ething fo r you. W hat
sort of person would not cry
when on th e stag e n child is

If you don't cry then you are a
little soul. If you do you are a
real hum an being. If you weep
alone your loneliness is th e
right kind.
