Many, many years ago, when fire was yet a new thing, it was the custom for young girls of Rome ancl her neighboring cities to devote a part or all ol their lives to the service of V esta. goddess of the hearth. These Vestal Virgins, as they were called, resided in a temple where a sacred fire was kept burning at all times, and it was their duty to sweep the hearth, replenish the fire with fuel and take care that the fire was never extinguished. If this was not done, all Rome would suffer the consequences in the form of some great disaster. We, too. must have the hearths of friendship within us swept clean of all opposing emo- tions. and our fires of friendship must be replenished with the fuel of pleasant recollections and new acquaintances. For these reasons, just as the Vestal Virgins of long ago dedicated them- selves to fire, we dedicate this book to friendship and to the keeping of friendship s fires within us. It is hoped that, in its making, new friends were formed, and that later in its reading old ones will fondly be remembered and perhaps even renewed. lat 53 as there beh 1 inly nlU’ A T pefati ink 1 irai out' her leaving is tl exists
