The Ideal Girl

She has so much to do that she has
no time for morbid thoughts.
She never thinks for a moment that
she is not attractive. nor forgets to look
as charming as possible.
She is considerate OF the happiness OF
others. and il is reflected back to her as
from a looking glass.
She never permits herself to grow Old
for by cultlvating all the graces OF heart'
brain and body, age does not come to her.
She awakens cheerfully in the morning
and closes her eyes thankfully at night.
She believes that life has some serious
work to do, that the serious work lies
very close TO the homely, everyday du'
ties. and that kind words cost nothing.
She IL always willing to give sugges-
tions that will help some less fortunate
one over the bad places In mes Journey
She Is her own sweet, unaffected, wo-
manly self: therein lies the secret OF her
popularity--of her success.

Bismarck could forgive. but ne wished
to do II after proper solicitation. At the
beginning OF the Danish war Field Mar
shal Wrangel. who was at the head OF
the Prussian troops, was exceedingly
annoyed at one point to be telegraphed
not to advance farther. and he returned
a message telling King William " =
these dipomatists who spoil the m .

lows" After that Bimarck ignored him
completely. and one day they met at the
kings table, where II was especially
awkward to preserve a coolness. Wrangel
called everybody 'du." and presently he
turned TO Bismarck, who was seated next
him. and said. MY son, canst thou not
forget2" NO" was the curt reply. At
ter a pause wrangel began again: MY
son. canst thou not forgiven with all
my heart" said Bismarck, and the
breach was healed.
