This Is PARTICULARLY true OF women who
h.vo she'd oceans of tears over sorrows that
0ever came to pass and who never enjoy to-
dav for fear something untoward might
hanpen tomorrow. / once knew an old

herself all of them because she was
drcading that a thing that was not within
the bounds OF possibility might happen 70

The rext sid 10 cheerful ess Is mak1r
the best Of row and here of gettIr every
possible drop Of happlT ess out Of the

ea=ilv as YOU can despair, and with Just
- much reason, for the law OF average 81
Ways holds gooo- i mere IS Just as inucN
sur shire as there Is rein, just as much
ha7pi9 ess IS there Is sorrow. Things are
lust as liable to turn out we'll as TO turn
out disastrously. We can say with just as
much truth Of misfortune, as we can Of
r,od luck. that this too shall pass away.
Cheerful ess IS worth cultivating be-
cause. ike virtue, It is its own reward Il
brir gs US health ard happif ess, because it
is Ike a sun shiuir IL our own souls. It

hold, where cheerful woman is ike a
warm FIRE upon the hearthstone Ard it
brir gs Prosperity TO US because people like
TO do busiI ess with an optimistic person.
The habit Of cheerfulness is the concrete
expression Of the brave attitude towards
life. 1t is OILY the heroes who smile and
carry on. The towards Crouch and gloom
and whine.
