CHARACTER THE RIAL SECRET.

Happiness comes from s~elf-respect
and self-respect comes from the
knowledge that we are living within
our means, that we owe no man
money we cannot pay, that we are
able to enjoy the changing seasons
without running in debt to keep up
a variety of expensive homes at
fashionable resorts, and that we
are able to find pleasure in walk
ing when we cannot ride, and in
keeping at work when we cannot
take a vacation.
Happiness lies in the conscious
ness of the privilege of life. Until
you realize apart from all material
considerations what a privilege life
is, you can not be happy.
Say over to yourself a dozen of
the most familiar names of extrava-
gantly wealthy people in America,
and think Of the miserable scandals
and wretched domestic conditions
which have been associated with
some member of nearly everyone Of
these families.
Then you will be able to reason
out how little wealth has to do with
real happiness,
Happiness must rest on character,
and character building lies in the
power Of the poorest man on earth.
Build yourself a splendid mansion
Of the mind; then, whether you live
in a flat or a mansion, in a tent on
the plains, in a tenement in the city
in a cottage by the sea, you
will know the secret Of happiness.
And the world is full Of New
Thought literature, which is a good
foundation for happiness. Read,
live rightly, and happiness
must come.-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
