Happy Life
I seek not tho1ns on the road of life
That hurt with secret pain;
l seek small joys, the sunbeams catch
To shed abroad again.
If the door is low where I would 60,
l stoop to enter in,
And often find in lowly guise,
The joy that I would win.
And If can, lift the stone
Out of my onward way
IL It's too heavy, then / go
Around till close of day.
And thus each blessed day find
Something to make me glad
Some precious joy that / may share
To cheer another sad.

Writing about the peril of the mother
in-law, Dorothy Dix, in an article in the
New Orleans Picayune says: Tradition
has pictured man as the chief sufferer
from the mother -in-law. This is because
in voiclng complaints men have had the
floor, and because they are less patient
under ahliction than women. What the
husband endures from the mother-in-law
who attempts 40 run his house is nothing
to the agonies the woman goes through
from her mother-in-aw who policies her
every action. and criticises her every

their sons-in-iaw, anyway, than they are
their daughters-inlaw, and, besides, a
son-ln-law, II he is at all eligible, is al
