| IL you want TO De happy, decide to be
so and see everything in a happy light
1t is astonishing how many things be-
come rose-colored when thus viewed
and how many others reveal happiness
that might have been missed were not
one looking for it.
| You see almost everything in life has
two sides, one pleasant and the other
unpleasant. 1t is quite bad enough
that the unpleasantness should exist
without increasing by dwelling upon it,
and the thing to do is promptly to for
get the bad side and try to discover the
good. 1t isn't easy, of course. but this
T is precisely where character comes in,
tand & girl who takes hold of the world
always by its good handle. finding COM
pensation in all things, is the one who
I gets the most and is The happiest.
| 1t is an encouraging fact that there
7 is no experience OF life. however sad
dening or hard. that does not have its
compensation if one VIII take the trou-

il All of us know people who nave
grown bitter By sorrow or misfortune.
They are those w1o have refused TO get
the good that may come from difficult
conditions. and their own lives are
therefore harder, as they become COM

fortune.
Instead of thinking, as do the unhap-
py, of what they have lost, they think
gratefully of what remains and cheer
fully learn the hard lessons that have
come. There always is something to be
grateful for, if ore wishes TO think so,
and to do it means q great help toward
gaining happiness. A girl who is poor
had much iii ilcr friends or in being
well and able to 90 about. 1t is hard
to work sometimes, and one who must
do so may make herself miserable if
she likes to contrast her own life with
that of a girl of leisure and wealth. But
she won't be miserable if she stops to
think how fortunate she is to have work
when hundreds of others who are in
dire need cannot get it. This is just an
instance of the two sides of thing you
see, and the handle that one may take
hold of each day
One of them will make you happy
and the other will make you complain
ing and envious, putting poison into
every moment. 1t is so much better to
be happy than miserable. and it is quite
within the reach of every girl. 1t really
depends upon herself whether she will
look on the good side or the bad.
There Is never day that does not
have in it something nice or amusing,
just as there viii probably be vexation
or disappointments. To dwell on the
latter is to make ones self all around
wretched, while to think of the former
is to be cheerful, happy and amusing to
others.
Unselfishness is another road to hap
piness; not the kind of unselfishness
that gives away something one no long
er cares for or has plenty of, and re-
quires no effort to part from, but the
unselfshness that thinks of others rath-
NV.
mense amount of pleasure in having
pleased some one else. having done
something that they wished, and it
comes from the feeling of having help
cd. however little.
- One gets a great deal more in watch
ing the satisfaction of another when it
is due to ones own efforts than in hav-
ing or doing something that would have
pleased only ones self.
Happiness, as a matter of fact. is a
thing that lies within us all, only all
do not cultivate and develop it. 1t is
not brought necessarily by great things
nor many of them, but 1t comes always
with cheerful and contented spirit
that looks for the brightness of life and
the good in it. being thankful for what
one has and adapting ones self to doing
without the impossible. Best of all. it
grows bigger and deeper as ones life
goes on and we learn the good that lies
in all its lessons.
