UNDERSTANDING Heart.

If you see a man smiling to himself
in a crowd don't imagine that he Is
crazy, says writer. Usually such are
the sanest of individuals and possess
an enviable appreciation of themselves.
They do not need to be influenced by
exterior conditions and circumstances
in order to call forth that spirit of
gladnesS which lies deep within the
soul. 1t is far more profitable 10 Tn
to initiate such persons than to fnoaS
ut or to pity them.
