CLOTHING
VIRTUE WITH
GRACE
In Barhara BoYdl

1t is said of the French that they
have manner but not manners Per-
haps it may be said Of the Americans
that they have virtue but not grace.
A story is told of a Ffenchman who
met lady and a mud puddle at the
same time. In the puddle was 4 tiny
strip Of earth upon which one might
cross dry shod With the most charm,
ing manner in the world. the French
man raised his hat, stepped upon the
little strip of dry land and pushed the
lady into the water His manner, for
deferential charm, was beyond crit
icism-but his manners!
In contrast to this was the action Of
an American in a street car. The troll
ley was crowded. A woman entered
laden with packages. Neither hand
was free to hold to the strap, and she
Swayed most unpleanantly with every
jerk of the car The man was picking
his teeth and making most unpleasant
noises in the process Of getting them
cleaned 70 his satisfaction. When he
saw the woman, he rose abruptly.
pointed one finger to his vacated seat,
grabbed a strap, and continued his OPP
erations vita the toothp,ek. He was
an example Of virtue without grace.
This is trait Enthusiastically
American Nearly every family owns
to some member Who does his duty
But, oh, how ungracious he does it! He
would die before he would fail in his
duty, but vita what set teeth and grim
face he performs it. One would al
most rather have it undone, than face
daily such countenance in the doing
Of it,
The man who so kindly, but ungrac-
iously, gave his seat is the sort. who
will pay his wifes bills uneomplain-
ingly, but never tell her he loves her
nor buy her a bunch of flowers or a
box Of bonbons. He viii slave for her
year in and year out that she may
have all the material comforts, but he
will never do any Of the little gracious
things that are the flowers of life.
There is many such a grimly dutifm
daughter in homes She would not for
the world be neglectful in her duties
to her parents, but she goes about all
the little offices for them with The
grim sense of duty so GOV, ering with
its icy look all gentleness and live that
she brings little joy into her parents
lives, even with all her dutiful min
istrations.
Virtue is good but gracious virtue is
still better. We do not do less good
by doing it graeiously, but rather the
more TO clothe good in a beautiful
form is to make it all the more impress
sive Even nature teaches us this
truth The trees give us fruit, nour-
ishing and delicious, but they do it by
way Of the glory Of blossoms that are
none the less beautiful because in due
time they will ripen into fruit.
One need not, in order to produce
the fruit of good deeds be barren Of
beauty in the doing of it. The manner
of the Frenchman is charming, The
heart of the American is all right But
for perfection, one wants the beautiful
manner and the good deed Virtue and
grace need to go together to make the
most beauty in life.

VITALITY
GIVING AND
BORROWING
By Ruth Cameron.)


There is a certain thing which many
very upright people who would shud-
der a THE thought of breaking the
eighth commandment in any other
way, sometimes steal.
And yet perhaps | a munjust in say
ing steal" for those fro mwhom they
take it usually seem willing to give.
The thing mean is vitality
Say you are very tired some day
,nervouhly depressed, indigo blue. You
go to see a friend. You are with her
two or three hours. She sympathizes
with you, encourages you, diverts you
from your troubles, interests and
iamuses you. 9iKM
The deep blue clouds of your de-
preston begin to break before you
have been with her a half hour. When
YOU leave, the sun is shining in your
heart once more and you are able 10
realize that after all Gods in His
heaven; all's right with the world"
You wonder at the change in your
self You say, how she did cheer ME
up
But you probably don't realize that
she has been giving you part of her
self, that she has actually parted with
some of her vitality to you
And yet that is undoubtedly what
happened-just as much as when a
cold object is laid against a warm OBJ
iect, the cold object becomes warm by
absorbing heat from the other and the
warm object becomes cooler,
Perhaps she doesn't feel the loss of
vitality at all There are people with
such reservoirs of vitality that they
are able to give it out without any ap-
parent loss to themselves-just as The
kitchen range can warm an object laid
against it without any apparent loss If
heat because it has a reservoir of heat
within itself.
But hire are other people who have
no such Astounding stores of vitality,
and who are visibly affected when they
give too much of it to others. They
may not realize what exhausts them
Very likely they don't, but that is
what happens just the same
1t is said that trained nurses who
are on cases of nervous depression or
melaneholia, or anything of that sort,
are much more likely to break down
than those on merely physical cases,
because they are giving SO largely Of
their vitality to bring the patient back
to normal
Taking your blues to other people to
Danish is not the only way of stealing
vitality
Trying to make people make all your
decisions for you is another
In many families there is one mems
Der who is always hanging blackwell
blanketing things-acting sulky and
disgrunted To make things go pleas,
antly it is necessary for the rest of the
family to continually concillate him,
and, to use slang phrase Jolly him
along This kind of person is one of
the worst vitality thiefs.
Almost all of us borrow vitality from
our friends in one war or another.
Most of US give out vitality.
Let's just try not to be too greedy III
our borrowings or too stingy in our
lendings.
