Temperament No Excuse
For Excess

Copyright, 1918, by The Star Company.
VHOLD it the duty of who is gifted,
And specially lowered in all mems sight,
To know till his life is lifted
Fully up his great gifts height
He must mold the into completeness
gems set only in gold refined.
He must his thoughts perfect sweetness,
And folly and pride from his mind
he who drinks from gods gold fountain
OF music rhythmic
Must sift from his soul the chah of malice
And weed from heart wrong.
Great gifts should like crown BETTING,
And not like gems in beggar's hands,

of talent, who were gifted
and cultured, but whose self-made
standards caused them to lose sight
Of all ordinary laws Of society.
With much sang froid the man
related their doings-doings which
included drinking to excess and
defying the rules of decency in
dress and behavior.
These people, you see, have
standards of their own" he said.
They do not look at things as we
look at them. Their world is quite

them with the ordinary mortal"
Temperament No Excuse.
But the possession of talent and
temperament does not necessitate
such standards
1t does not excuse such behavior
and it does not indicate high type

them the result of temperament,
and they have not flung their loose
ideas OF morals or religion in the
face of the world.
