W) a 1 e (Carnegie Peace of Mind, Most Valuable Possession TWTISS MARY MOKARZEL, Washington, D. C, says that through 1 A a piece of ill luck she gained what to her has become the most important thing in her life, which is a true sense of values. As she was walking along one of our many poorly lighted streets one night, someone grabbed her handbag. In it were some possessions to which she had become ereatlv attached: a beautiful diamond ring, her eyeglasses, a fountain pen, a silver pillbox with an amethyst inset, a Napoleonic coin, a good compact, some valuable papers, her wallet containing thirty-five dollars and the beautiful brown calf bag itself. Of course, this worried her, worried her to the point that she realized she was losing more than the contents of the bag her peace of mind, her sense of values. But there was one thing the thief didn't get: her rosary beads which were in her coat pocket. And thpir lipfamp a cvmbnl fnr hpr nhilnsnnhv.

After all, were her possessions pos-sessions of such importance that they out-weighed her calm? She decided that they were not. And right then and there she began to realize that most of the things we worry about are not nearly as important as the mental attitude created by worry, and which can become chronic. I Now when she loses something, Or when she realizes she J can't have something she wants, she just clings to her faith that she will have all she needs and that she will be happy with what she has. And this is far, far more important to her than the loss of any and all material things she has suffered. " "
