fate more than half way. Remember it is
only too easy to depress your world with
gloomy countenance. Dependency is
no virtue. There are three qualities which
every woman should cultivate, kindness
In thought and deed toward others, a
clear head, to see where kiudliness should
have its limit, and a perfectness of self
