LOOK PLEASANT.

re cannot. OF course, all be handsome.
And it's hard for us all to be good.
We are sure now and then to be lonely
And we don't always do as we should
To be patient is not always easy,
To be cheerful is much harder still.
But at least we can always be pleasant
Ii we make up our minds that we wifi,
And It pays every time to be kindly,
Although you feel worried and blue:
II you smile at the world and look cheerSI
The world will soon smile back at YOU.

No matter how low you are down.
Good hnmor is always contagious.
But you Danish your friends when YOU
