Recipe for a Happy New Year Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time, for it works best if you work on just one day at a time. Into each day put: 6 of charity 5 of kindness 4 of prayer 3 of rest 2 of meditation and 1 carefully selected resolution. 12 parts of confidence 11 of patience 10 of grit 9 of elbow grease 8 parts of faith 7 of hope Then put about a cupful of folly, a jigger of laughter, a sprin­kling of play and a heaping cupful of good humor. Cook thoroughly in a fervent heat, garnish with a lot of smiles, a sprig of joy. Then serve quietly with unselfishness and cheerfulness and a HAPPY NEW YEAR is a certainty.
