| A WORD TO LITTLE GIRLs-Who is lovely? it is
that little girl who drops sweet words kind remarks,
and pleasant smiles, as she passes aOng-who has n
kind word OF sympathy for every girl or boy she
meets in trouble, and kind hand to help her COM

not make yourself lovely by sweet winning temper
and kind winning ways, or you do not love those of
whom you complain.--anecdotes Of Girls.
