Later, in Bergstrom’s department store, you might have taken a second look at the pretty little clerk who sold you a hat. But if someone had told you she would one day be world famous Ir. pictures for her portrayals of romance, pas sion and ecstasy, it would have seemed too fantastic to believe. Greta Garbo was born in 1905 in the mill district of Stockholm. Her father was a poor machinist, and her mother an uneducated farm woman. The mysterious airs and aloofness of the great Garbo of to day are natural, for they were traits 1—John L. Lewis, chief of the C. I.

The very word stirs our hearts and quickens the most pre cious of memories. Toward its com forting threshold turns the one who has borne the heat and the labor of the day. Within its portals are those who gladly give themselves in sac rificial service that it may indeed be a haven of rest and comfort. The inroads of modern life and of our so-called civilization are do ing much to break down home life. All too frequently home has be come the place to which one goes when there is nowhere else to go; a place to sleep, and sometimes to eat; an address for mail; a tele phone number. Shall we then abandon the effort really to maintain a true home—one that is in touch with God, and there fore ready to serve man?
