a SUNNY Smile

One Of life's little marvels is the
wonderful effect that a smile of the
right sort can have upon those whom
we meet.
II We only knew Just how much good
1t may do. we should always try to
carry such smiles with us on our daily
path.
Some of the best work in this
world is done by people who would be
amazed to know that they were doing
anything out of the ordinary routine,
and this invigorating and gladdening
Office of smiling kindly is an example.
Therefore, as the task is one within
the power of all, let us carry it out
Well and cheerfully.
The girl who goes through the day
with kind word and a CHEEKY smile
for all whom she knows has much the
same good effect on others as has sun.
shine.
A warm. real smile, a friendly
glance of sympathy, are the things
that cost no money, yet how powerful
they are in bringing courage and trust
into life.
At best, life has hard moments and
difficult days, so each OF US should do
what We can to brighten them or 9TH
ers; by so doing we also b-ightcl,
them for ourselves.

In order to help the ladies Of the
