IN WOMAN'S REALM

We must learn to solve our own problems
work out our own salvation, forget unhap-
piness with all the strength and courage that
that which is right. II we do not do thess
things we will lead an aimless, puposeles
sort Of life, not at all calculated to make us
happy or contented. There are some people
who spend most Of their time in thinking OF
things to worry about and consequently they
have no time to be happy or to look on the bright
side Of life Poor misguided creatures.
Now we al need work Of some kind and
we ali need rest But the thing We need most
Of all Is understanding, not only Of ourseiveL
and our weakness, but also the kind Of under
standing which will keep US clear Of the pitfalls
Of worry and grief. We must learn to know
ourselves and when We discover certain weak
ness in character we can be pretty sure that
weakness viii manifest itself. in its own little
way, in every thing we do. For instances. We
lack concentration or application to do osrtain
things, that lack Of concentration and applica-
ton will be noticed in our work. in our hone
life, in our social life in our music, or In any Of
the arts which may be Of interest to Us A
chain is as strong as its weakest link, and ~
are only as strong as our weaknesses viii permit
us to be.
Never has there been q whole life char 81
mistakes. sorovs or disappointments and
a. these are bound to come all We can do u
to protect ourselves from them as best We can
and then to meet them squareiy m the taes
when they do come. The one with the honest
heart and strong mind viii not let them havs
the mastery Of the situation for long. but VIII
rise above them all and come out splendidiyin IN
the end because Of knowledge Of the philosophy
Of right living. i-ts
So with plenty Of work for the mind to do
and love in the hear there can be no room in

The Washington herald., 1913-12-21

HE woman who Is living In memories:
the woman who is absorbed in thoughts
OF what her life has been; the woman
who is starving for want of sympathy and atten-
tion-an should get out in the busy world and
think Of others besides themselves. There
is no better medicine than this The world
is wonderful old place to live in if we can
believe it, and much Of its beauty we miss
entirely by preferring to go through life with
our eyes blind to the wonderful interests and
good wholesome pleasure it holds for Us. 1t
is useless to live In the past Look to th.
present and the beauties of life rather than
to the past and It's thorns. The future may
shape itself with more wisdom than you could
direct it with all your foresight.
One can say don't worry" and preach
the golden rule of optimism until one is blue
in the face but to no avail. because one can
not give formula for the worry habit that
will apply to all individuals alike. The remedy
for the worry habit lies entirely with the indi-
vidual who is doing the worrying. The worried

then exert enough strength and wiIIpower to
Danish from his mind the dark brooding thoughts

over ones self. one must have a certain phil

A present sorrow or anxiety is always the
