writes Mrs. Lyman Abbott in October
Ladies' Home Journal. "But how many
OF them" she says, 'sseem to have

beauty does not refine them, her honesty
does not incite them to thoroughness,
them to generosity -they become narrow
and sordid in the midst of grandeur and
liberality. They imagine there can be
nothing in life but work or play, toll or
rest, they feel a contempt for those who
play and rest. They have never learned
to mngle work and play, toll and rest in
due proportion, aud they cease to find
any pleasure in life unless they aban
don work altogether. Like the tired
woman who wrote her own epitsph, they
fancy Heaven place where they can do
