Sunshiny Women.

picture Of abject poverty, but in any case
it will be a sad and gloomy homewithout
the influence OF bright, sunshlny
woman.
On this subject Margaret McRae Lakey
says: What godsend is merry, hight
hearted little woman in a home! What a
welcomed guest she is, what loved and
cherished friendl There are some lives
which seem continually surrounded by q
halo of gladness and glory. There are
others which are forever cropping in sad
ness and gloom; yet the keenest observer
can see no difference in the surroundings
of the two, or why one should be bright
and cheerful while the other is depressed
and miserable; why one seems to catch
all the glory while the other rests under
the cloud.
1t is not our purpose to enter into the
WHY'S and wherefores of either case, but.
rather to speak OF the deplorable neglect
OF duty on the part of the latter. Surely
if a larger per cent. of the womanhood OF
the land recognized the necessity OF being
cheerful under all circumstances, there
would be fewer wrinkles on young brOWs,
fewer meanings overimaginary woes, and
less sadness among others on our account.
Tt is our duty to cultivate sunshine in our
lives for our own sakeS. We all know
that worry, not work, fills the cemeteries;
worry that makes us worn, haggard and
faded long before the prime of life is
reached and worry that distorts the God
given Imagination until it is capable OF
formulating only cruel, false and selfish
images. 1t is duty that we owe to
others. No one has the right to screen an
other from Gods blessed sunlight by cast
ing a cloud over the sphere in which that
one moves, and this we do every time we
allow our depressed feelings to betray
themselves. One gloomy person in cir
Unnecessarily though often unconscious
ly-depresses the whole party. One
moody member of the household throwsa
shadow over the entire home-circle.
1t is a duty we owe to our Maker, God.
Idonot believe that when He allotted to
woman as well as to man threescOre and
ten years, that He meantforher to lie down
in the grave ere half that time was lived.

mean to leave the impression that all
LIES burdens may be thrown SO lightly
aside Experience teaches differently. 1t
is not Of LIES real and deep sorrows thatI
speak; rather of the little every day occur
rences which we allow to SO dignity them
selves that they become mountains which
we have no faith to remove. Joy will
come to our bidding justas quickly as will
sorrow, if we will only open our hearts to
her, make her welcome and bid her stay
1t will not then be long ere her influence
over us will illumine not our lives only,
but the lives of all with whom we come in
contact.

burden laid upon our shoulders was OF
peculiar weight and heavy to be borne;
who have felt as ii in our lives there was
no sunshine, hence we could scatter none,

and force the sunlight to radiate and il

Tho Midnight Sum.

Imagine yourself on ship at anchor
looking west or straight in front Of
you. There is a broad expanse of sea
little to your right hand, behind YOU
will be the rugged coast, and to your
left the long, narrow ford between
the islands and the mainland that the
steamer has just traversed. You watch
the sun as it slowly, slowly sets; the
islands and the coasts look like rich
dark purple, and the shadows cast BY
the ships mast, etc., grow longer and
longer. After bit, when the sun has
sunk apparently twelve feet from the
horizon, IL stops and seems to remain
stationary for about twenty minutes,
then the very sea gulls hide away,
while the air all Of sudden strikes
chilly. Each one has an awed, ex.
pectant feeling; the tourist steamer
broods silence that may be felt.
Soon the sun rises very slowly once
again, and the yellow clouds change
with his uprising to even greater
beauty, first to the palest primrose
and then to a blush pink. The sky,
which was just now rose color, be.
comes gray, then pale emerald green,
and lastly blue. Rock after rock
stands out, caught by the SUMS bright
rays, and the reign Of day has begun
once more. Jubilee Jaunt to Nor
