WHAT A SMILE WILL DO.
BY May De witt Talmage

WHAT \ SMILE WILL DO.
Some one has said, The vogue Of
new cheerfulness is to the spirit
what our vogue OF athletics is to the
body; it starts a genial warmth. and
suggests a rub down. and a hearty
meal, and we turn TO our work with
a sense Of bouyancy and light
heartedness. and readiness to meet
all uncertainties Of the future"
II we are not naturally cheerful
we had better cultivate il. which re-
minds me OF something a friend of
mine said 10 me.
Il started out yesterday morning.
cross. in had humor. 1t did not add
10 my spirits when everybody greet
ed me cOldly. ill-naturedly. Suddenly
1 thought, it may be my own mood
that ! see reflected in all my &C
quaintances. so l took a new start
and 1 greeted the next man with
smile, and the CHEEKY Good morn
ing" l got in return proved to me
il had been all my fault"
Did you ever test the power Of a
smile? 1t is remarka bic what II will
do. One bright clear. crisp autumn
morning. one of those days that fills
one with the wine Of the JOY of liv-
ing, a girl hurried into the trolly
car en- route for the dock, where she
expected to meet an incoming steam
er. Not until she was seated, trans
fer il hand, did the thought occur
20 her that she had not the vaguest
idea where the dock was. She de-
cided the morning rush hour was
not the psychological moment TO So
licit direction from the conductor
She waited until the down town
crowd had dispersed, then with her
best smile, she asked her question
sure 1 can tell YOU" was the
CHEEKY reply. You just sit plumb
and I'll tell you where to get off,
A foreign looking working man
who st opposite asked: Are you
trying 10 catch a steamer? I'm sail
ing for home tomorrow. know
where you ought to get off, and I'll
tell you when you get there"
Arriving at the dock she was
greeted with a curt, mo admittance
without pass. This line is in the
/ hands Of the English government
| You must get pass from the Gus
tom House at Bowling Green. That's
/ final"
ooh" she pleaded, smiling, I'VE
have had such difficulty getting here
] at this hour and we can't be turned
away now for we must meet our
friends"
! There seemed to be shade of
softening to his mood. bit Of hu-
NOR in his eye as he said: "Well,
! I'll see what 1 can do with the gov
eminent, but tell it not in Gath"
! Her smile was an open sesame that
| passed her by one official after an
other until she found herself wav-
ing to her incoming friends from
the end of the dock.
Yes, it is wonderful what a smile
will do. 1t brings forth all kinds
OF sohcitous care. any kind of in
| formation. II opens gates even in
a busy, hurried city. 1t drives away
care and ill-humor. oh, it's a great
thing to feel the spirit Of cheerful
ness, to cultivate its joys, its youth,
its resiliency. Cultivate the happy
side for there is no investment that
you -ould make that Will pay big

there are hundreds of thousands of
