The Angry Girl.

She loses her sense of humor; often
also the other sense she has goes with
it. If getting angry ever did any good
there would be more reason in it.
The surest way TO weaken a good
cause is by a bad temper.
The girl who is easily angered pays
the piper in broken friendships.
A hot temper rarely finds a happy
home big enough to hold it.
The angry girl fOrgets that the peni-
tence which follows her folly is not
pleasant company.
