The Lord loveth cheerful giver.
If YOU can't give anything up
cheerfully. and without making fuss
about it, its almost better not to give
it up at all.
Many people always tie the string
of bad temper, sulks, an injured air,
or a pose of martyrdoln to all their
self sacrifices and then wonder why
they are not loved for their unselfish
dispositions.

a pleasure trip to take charge of the
home of sick relative.
She was a person who never spoke
out any feelings of displeasure or
discomfort, but always displayed them
just as plainly by a trick of expression.
Il felt as if there was a pent up
storm cloud in the mouse all the time
she was here" said a member of the
family that was the victim Of this
un9raciOus self-sacrifice.

The eyes of the nation naturally

of the Hudson Fulton celebration.

Miss Hartman, from early girlhood,
has been extremely fond of country
life. She has never cared particularly
for society. Although reared in the
circle of the -Four Hundred" she has
preferred to devote herself to more
serious career For several years she
has actively participated i'm settlement
work in the city. Among her most
notable charities is the ferryboat in
the North river for consumptives.
One of the most interesting of the
foreign visitors to the Hudson Fulton
celebration is Princess Kuni, whose
husband is officially representing his
cousin. the Mikado of Japan. The
princess, like her husband, is quite

typical Jap type of beauty. The
