If there is some one in the family
who "rubs us the wrong way"
whose opinions irritate us and
whose personality rasps us, it is
not altogether matter of regret.
There are young people who grow
up in households where harmony
and affection hold such sway that
they are quite unprepared for the
friction and unpleasantness in
eviteble as life progresses. Some
are crushed by harsh word simply
because harshnese is new in their
experience Some lose their self
control in the face of injustice be-
cause they have never before en-
countered it. And while it is true
that if we had our way our homes
would be free from this vexing
element, there is at least partial
compensation in the fact that be-
fore we 60 out into life we may
learn the lesson of forbearance.
And thus we get paid for forbear.

Optimism.

Get all the good there is today,
Don It fret about tomorrow;
There's trouble round US all the time,
What need is there to borrow?
The wise man gets what Joy he can.
And leaves the fool his folly;
He knows too much to waste his life
In gloom and melancholy.
Look on the bright side every time,
Don't waste your days repining;
When any cloud looks dark and dull,
Turn out the silver lining.
Be wise! Be cheerful, bright and glad
Leave to the fool his folly,
And let your motto be: "Cheer up!"
Your rule of life: "Be jolly!'
