SMILE AND BE GLAD
MUCH VIRTUE is THERE IN THE
PLEASANT GRIN.
Too Many Of Us Cultivate Our Critical
Side Until II Takes the zest Out
of Everything-Try TO
Enjoy Life.

If you want to get the worth of the
bargain in life cultivate gladness. The
one who mopes doesn't enjoy herself
and surely no one enjoys her.
Anyone can be glad when things go
her way, to be glad when the maid
breaks your best dinner set, and the
| frock on which you've broken yourself
turns ont a fright shows a disposition
hat can be counted on to oil life's
wheels
There's a lot Of gladness going, hut
many of us are blind to it, What we
want is to take life like 4 healthy child
and find enjoyreut in simple things.
We can cultivate our critical side until
it takes the zest from everything.
What if we haven't an overlooking
pocketbook. need we hang down the
corners of our mouth when there is
health and the outdoors and love to
make for gladness?
Does it come easier to look on the
black side? Has the pose of misfortune
become your natural state? Forget it
and take to grinning.
At first that grin may be as strained,
but most Of your friends will think II
more lovely than your usual hangdog
expression. The brand improves with
practice
Forced Cheerfulness is not pleasing.
but it is better than chronic depres-
sion. Keep pumping out that oil Of
gladness and by and by the dumps
will be luhricaLed.
Gladness isn't an effort to be glad;
It is just being glad You cannot wor-
ry yourself into it; neither does it
come by stimulation; it does come
from taking life easy and enjoying
things whether they were meant to be
enjoyed or not.
You sad one, try for a dav to hunt
causes for gladneBs. Instead of sum
ming mp your woes and mourning over
the total. get in a receptive mood for
lows You'll be surprised at the end of
the dag to find how many have been
the occasions for smiling.
Does your head ache? Sample the
laugh cure. Are the children obstrep-
erous? Don't NOPE over your sorry lot,
but charm them with a smile Does
the future seem a coal-black wall? See
what kind Of a wedge day Of cheer
ful can make
Giadness never comes with time TO
think about your troubles so get busy.
The full life is rarely the somber life.
Get grateful for your mercies; YOU
may think il takes a magnifying glass
to find them. but the eye is sharpcned
by the looking.
IL you have no other cause for glad
ness. if your friends are not what they
should be. IL fortune froUns and things
generally seem rank just be- glad
