to read in this way; IF you would have
a friend. be one"
The person who is kind and obliging
viii be sure TO have friends, wherever
he may 80, But the person who is
Grabbed and crusty and disobliging will
alw ass ind loom TO complain about the
unneighborliness of his neighbors. After
the new girl came TO school. the other
scholars wondered for a long time why
she seemed 10 be 50 popular with every
body She came as 4 stranger and
every one seemed a little shy Of her ut
tlrst; then every one began 10 like her,
and some wondered why this was. Sh.
was not pretty, you might almost have
called her homely, though there was n
kind, sweet look in her face. She did
not wear fine clothes, though her dresses
were always neat and clean, and there
was look OF tidinesS about her every
where. She did not often say smart
things: there was Sara Hirst who made
the girls laugh many times every day.
and yet she was not liked very well for
she would say sharp things to the other
scholars which often cut like swords.
What was it that made Mary Hunt so
well liked by every one? The other
scholars would all have told you, after
they had known her a few weeks, that it
was because she was always thoughtful
and kind. If any one seemed to be
troubled about anything. Mary was al
ways one of the first to notice il, and in
quiet way she would manage to say
or do something which made the trouble
easier to bear. If she had any nice
things she wanted others to have them
with her. And then she never seemed TO
feel that she had done anything that
others should try to pay back She
was not always looking out for Number
One, but she thought first of the things
of others. This Is the way to become
popular that our verses point out. They
for love is of God We cannot be like
Jesus unless we are filled with the spirit
of love, and like Him are going about
doing good.
Here is a saying of the late President
Harrison. which | think is well worth
remembering: 'Self-seeking has no
centennials." That is, people do not OBJ
serve the centennials of the death or
birth of men who were selfish, who lived
only for themselves. 1t is those who
spend their lives for the good of others
whom the world likes TO remember, even
though it may be very unlike such men.

Advice to Young Women.
In most rooms at boarding school the
girls are not allowed TO keep their
trunks; occasionally, however. permits
sion is granted TO have one out of stor-
age if closet space is limited.
Let the girl who expects to go away
to school this year find out beforehand
if trunk may be kept in the room. If
so, take cover along for it.
These covers can be bought, but are
much cheaper when homemade Meas.
IRE the dimensions of your trunk and
make the cover big enough TO go over it
and reach the floor on all sides, or, at
least, on the ends and across the front,
The material chosen should be cotton
taffeta, cretonne or striped art ticking,
burlap, denim, anything that is cheap
and will wash.
A color should be selected to harlno-
nize with the room furnishings. If the
material be lowered or striped, finish it
on the edge with a plain band three
inches wide of contrasting or harmo-
nizing color If the cover is plain the
band should be Powered.
Put the band around the four sides,
mitre the corners, turn in the edges, and
stitch on the right side If one wants
an extra touch of decoration the ma
chine stitching can be covered with
line OF double briar stitching in heavy
mercerized cotton.
Buy enough extra material to make
two good-sized pillows for the top of
the trunk if it is low enough to be used
as a seat; otherwise, let it serve as an
extra table on which could be stood the
work basket, darning box, and tray
with pitcher, glass. and candle in dec
Grated china or fancy glass.
If the trunk is to do duty as table
see to it that it is not piled so full that
it cannot be easily opened when neces-
sary.
