1.-THE next flash got from that servant

ed to term my spirit of self-sacrifice.
While was rearranging my hair and put
ting few touches to my toilet before go
ing down ] communed with myself some
thing like this This woman downstairs is
woman just like you. You may not like
her, but many people undoubtedly love
her, so she must have a beautiful side to
her nature. Perhaps there are people who
dislike you as much as you dislike her.
| How would you like to be treated by such
people AT any rate you and your visitor

being, and 1t is probably your own blind
ness which keeps you from recognizing her

with this thought In my mind I entered
the drawing room and was dumbfounded

was very kind and in my heart were only
good wishes for her. This seemed to com

l called up my benevolent spirit that day

| when an unwelcome visitor comes to see
me, and am always able to greet her
cordially, but without hypocrisy. This

Every woman possesses the spirit of
| benevolence, but many comfound it with
| hypocrisy. Every time you see one Wo-
man greet cordially another woman she
| dislikes, you needn't set her down as a
hypocrite. Call up your spirit of benevo-
lence in judging her. and give her credit
! for having done the same toward the other
woman. If we all did this, our sex would
be much more closely bound together. If
women only realized that the Fountain of
! Immortal Youth is found in this spirit of
/ benevolence, they would call it up in their
relation with every human being. You
know the mind moulds the body. What
we think, we look. Think only of self,
and you will look selfish. Think mean
/ thoughts and you will have a mean look.
Can up your spirit of benevolence, and
the good will you feel for others is sure
to radiate from your own face and form.
Try it. 1t is such a simple thing and yet
it makes life so much more llvable 1t
simplifies our social relations amazingly.
| Finally, it is balm TO the conscience. You
have each and all admitted that you are
troubled to know how to receive visitors
for whom you do not care. Gust that
trouble calling up your spirit of beneyo-
! lence, and the visitor and the visited will
! be the better for it,
