VI sSahP6thys 6AQ 1T NC must c4ptiu 1t on the girl who chronicaily pities herself we steer clear of that girl. If you are lover of company. take stock of your blessings rather than your woes; there never was a trusr word than that the weeper--in the long run --"weeps alone."

When she Is not grumbling over present woes she bores with end- less growls of things that went wrong on similar excursions in the past Did you ever know a self-pitying girl who was not the family butt?
