The Duty of Happiness.

Human life, if rightly ordered, has
happiness for each Of its stages. The
vale Of years need not be vale of
tears" The great Father never in
tended that it should be so to any Of
His children, and, least Of all, to those
whom He has guided for so long and
who are near their final home In His
presence. Amid the manifold duties
which press upon us, we are very apt
to forget the duty Of happiness. It Is
not only our right, but our duty, to
enjoy, for gladness Of heart Is a form
of Thanksgiving to God, while at the
same time it radiates giadness on those
around us. The man whose morals
have made him melancholy does not
recommend virtue to his fellows, and
the discontented cynic Is a kill-joy in
the world 1--WE live by admiration,
hope, and love-" said Wordsworth, and
there Is no reason why these should
decay when we grow old.

Seeds of Kindness,

A kind word, a gentle act, a modest
demeanor, a loving smile, are as so
many seeds that we can scatter every
moment Of our lives, and which will al
ways spring up and bear fruit. Happy
are those who have many around them !;
they are rich in opportunities, and may
SOW plenteously.

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying

BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
