jean has no power. Goout and brighten
life with cheering word,
a smile, or flower. Take good book
and read a chapter to that blind man.
Go up that dark alley and make that
invalid woman laugh with some good
story. Go to that house from which
that child has been taken by death |
and tell the father and mother what
an escape the child has had from the
winter of earth into the springtime of
Heaven. For Gods sake make some
one happy for ten minutes, if for no
longer time. A young woman bound
on such a mission, what might she not
accomplish. Oh, there are thousands of
these manufacturers of sunshine. They
are Kings Daughters" whether in side
or outside that delightful organization.
They do more good before they are
twenty years of age than selfish
women who live ninety, and they are
so happy just because they make 9th
ers happy. Compare such a young
woman who feels she has such mis-
sion with one who lives q round of van
tiles, card-case in hand, calling on
people for whom she does not care,
except for some social advantage, and
insufferably bored when the call is re-
turned, and trying to look young after
they are old, and living life of insin-
cerity and hollowness, and dramatiza-
tion and sham. Young woman! live to
make others happy and you will be
happy Live for yourself and you will
be miserable. There never has been
an exception to the rule; there never
will be an exception.
Advice the fifth: Plan out your life
on big scale, whether you are q far
mer's daughter, or shepherdess among
the hills, or the fattered pet Of draw
ing room filled with statuary, and pic
lures, and bric-a-brac. Stop where you
are and make plan for your lifetime.
You cannot be satisfied with a life of
frivolity, and giggle, and indirection.
