Compiled by John G. Qulnlus, the
Sunshine Man

A ~good-natured person is a man Of
active benevolence; who seeks to give
pleasure to others in little things. Good
temper measures how a man is acted
upon by others; good nature measures
how he acts for others. The presump-
ton is that the two excellences would
be ound uniformly c~onjoined together;
that a man who was passively benevo-
lent would be actively so, too; but the
reverse is often the case in practice.
There are many men of ~inviolable tenn
per, who never exert themselves to do
a good -natured thing, from one end of
the year to the other; and many in
the highest degree irritable, who are
perpetually employed in little acts OF
good ia ture.-Sydney Smith.

Irritability is the result of careless
ness. but the suaViter in mode is the
result of cultivation. Incidence whis-

manliness. But it will not. Use every

: 1t took all day to prepare the tea
that was to make Estrelda socially
famous in Mapleville. As a matter Of
fact. IL was the first tea that had been
given In that town for years. Women
had gathered over their cups in the
afternoon with some bit Of leftover
lunch and had gossiped, but tea as
a function had been unknown.
Estrelda dressed for this party OF
hers. Indeed, she overdressed. But
this was something Mapleville was UNI
prepared to know. she wore a bright
blue g~eorgette crepe that she had
bought ready-made and then had cut
darinRly away from the throat and had
MADE short sleeved. To tell the truth,
thfs costume that was intended to
lure was not put on for tine sake Of
the women guests. There was to be

man, moreover, that the druggists wife
had said was crazy to meet Estrelda.
This was enough to make that young
woman give especial attention TO her
toilet once more. Since her marriage
she had let down considerably. Now
the bird was preening its plumes again.
For once she was on time. Fstrelda

For everybody will have helped the

He not only won a place as one of
