~ Ralph w aldo Emerson.
Dear girls. and married women. and
old ladies did you ever think what thai
word Cheer means?
Tt signifies hope, encouragement, sol
ace, comfort, and ease Of mind.
One in trouble IS never happy, but
may be cheerful, which means so much
more. Chcerfulness may be a gift, but
there is no doubt II is a faculty which
may be cultivated
Those to whom cheerfulness is sec
Ond nature have the greatest gift
heaven can bestOW. but to those VINO
haven't it, and desire It, I submit a
method adopted by The Little Man
IN Grey IN the poem;
In Paris there's a little man, all dress
ed in dapple gray,
With chubby cheeks and CHEEKY heart
he goes upon his way;
And when he peers into his purse and
finds there's nothing there,
Instead of being in dOleful dumps, he
simply doesn't care!
For you see" chirrups he.
This merry mannikin,
''The only way to be gay
Is not to care PIN
Not to care. not to care,
Not to care a pin-'
Power dwens with cheerfulness."
The girl whose lover temporarily
strays from her side has a power to
If she is cheerful
Tears spoil her pretty cheeks, dim
her pretty eyes and makes her so I'M
attractive he wonders he didn't stray
sooner.
Cheerfulness gives a spring to her
step, a light to her eyes and a smile
to her lips She grows more attract
i've. and he looks upon himself as a
stupid, unappreciative man who would
let a girl like that get away from him,
and he resolves he viii not let her get
away.
She becomes popular with men and
women, ana, my dear girls, there Is no
popularity worth as much as tnat
shared equally by the sexes
Cheerfulness is not dependent on
possession. nor the lack of it One can
be cheerful by enjoying a fine day
when all else fails
Smile back at the sun See the pleas
ant things when you look out OF your
window, and learn to look for them.
Here is a little poem by John Vance
Cheney called The Happiest Heart"
that may help you;
Who drives the horses Of the sun
Shall lord it but a day;
Better the lOwly deed were done,
And kept the humble way.
The rust will find the sword of fame,
The dust will hide the crown;
Aye, none shall hang so high his
name
Time viii not tear it down
The happiest heart that ever beat
Was in some quiet breast
mat FOUND the common daylight sweet,
And left to heaven the rest
That is reached by a road marked
cheerfulness.
And the way to find that road is to
keep your wick turned up.
