no loud talking, and certainly no inter-
ference.
She had her own way of reckoning

had her own ingenious method. TO get

The woman who keeps the simplicity

her natural gifts the enlargement OF

When the exterior attractions of form
and color diminish and depart, as they
mostly do, the radiance of our inner
illumination will more than compen-

this should be so her moral must equal
