THE VALUE OF A SMILE.

The minor virtues often have ma
jor effects. The principle is celebrat-
ed in the old rhyme about large oaks
growing from little acorns There is
look trifling duties. These are often
of the most tremendous Importance
In Two commandments, the love
of God and our neighbor, the Great
Teacher summed up the whole duty
of man. There is no better way of
showing our love of our neighbor
than by cheerfulness Cheerfulness
is duty. 1t blesses the cheerful per-
son and all with whom he or she
comes in contact
Recently in the American metropo-
lis there was noteworthy demon
stration OF the worth of cheerful
ness, the business value of smile.
The commercial value of looking
pleasant says the New York World
IS 10 be demonstrated in the public
schools, In course for saleswomen,
the first of its kind, opened Monday
night at school No. 81, pupils are to
be taught, among other things, the
art OF smiling when the customer
approaches. What is in such a line
OF instruction set down as propo-
sition strictly of business deserves
transmutation into a golden rule of
general intercourse. The principle of
optimism shines through it, than
which there is none more helpful
or more timely. The right kind of a
smile is never fatuous. 1t may be
turned effectively upon advancing
troubles as well as upon approaching
customers. Properly to encourage a
long distance runner one tells him
how far he has gone, not how far he
