Three Rules for Happiness

An old woman who always seemed to
be cheerful and happy was once asked by
young girl how she retained ner joyous
outlook on life.
II have three simple rules" said the
woman, which have followed since early
youth. The first is this Commit some
thing to memory every day, something
good. 1t needn't be much; three or four
words will do, just pretty bit of a poem,
or a Bible verse.
The second rule is: Look for something
pretty every day; and don't skip a day, or
1t won't work.
My third rule is-now mind. don't skip a
day: Do something for somebody every
day. That is all there is to it, dear"
These rules will work always and every
where, for women as we'll as for girls.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1911-07-31

They are so plain any one can understand
them. so simple any one can carry them
out If they have the will
Take the first rule, for instance Not
only will the habit Of committing some
beautiful things to memory every day make
of the mind a valuable storehouse, but il
will broaden ones outlook on life through
contact with the thoughts of others.
II one strives to see something pretty
every day the habit will soon become so
fixed that all of life will seem to be seen
through rose colored glasses. And as for
doing something for some one every day
this is the best rule of all 1t is a rule
which will turn a farmhouse warm in the
chill of winter. and a tenement cool in the
heat Of summer; it will touch hardened
hearts with sympathy and make all hu-
manity glad.
