CARRIAGE AND MOTIONS OF THE
HANDS

WHEN a person carries the hands
at the side, with the fingers
nearly open, and the hands dangling in
a listless manner, it is safe to set him
down as lacking in decision of charac-
ter and in ~fixedness of purpose. Be
careful in entrusting such a person
with a secret, and also with %entrusting
him with the execution of any purpose
upon which much depends, or on which
you have set your heart.
Often the person who carries his
hands as described in the foregoing
paragraph Is easily led, for good or
evil purpose, and either cannot or will
not take the trouble to wrestle with
the problems of life. In money mat
tiers he will, of course, be generous to
a fault" parting easily with his sub
stance, just as the man or wOman who
holds the hand closed tightly, or nearly
so, will hold to what he or she has,
often to the point of niggardliness. In
this respect, and in mental matters
also, the more open the hand is, the
more liberal will be the possessor. But
there is such a thing as too much liber-
atty, as shown by the hand that is
held too wide open.

silly said the other dewdrop. I'D
rather be beautiful for a little while
than let the rose hold me close to her
heart. She will get all the credit for
beauty and no one will ever know
about you.

this rose and catch the rays OF the sun

Down the stem rolled the vain little
dewdrop and soon it was away from
the protecting leaf where its sister was
trembling.
Soon the warm sun found it and its
wish was granted-all the beautiful
cOlors OF the rainbow now belonged TO
the little dewdrop and 1t was happy.
The other little drop nestled close TO
the rose leaf and soon it dropped down
deep into the very heart of the open
ing flower and was out of sight, but 1t
sank so deep that the rose grew sweet
and a passing bee stopped to tell the
rose 1t was the prettiest and sweetest
flower in the garden.
"That is because a little dewdrop
nestles in my heart, making me hap
py," said the rose. 'Thls morning l

down my stem to meet the sun, so that
it might grow beautiful with the rain

for the dewdrop and myself to repay
it, and If as you say, Mr.. Bee, | am
the prettiest and sweetest flower In the
garden this morning, it is because a
dewdrOp nestles in my heart"
Mr.. Bee buzzed away. He did not
tell the rose that the little dewdrop
that had rolled from under the leaf to
meet the sun was no more; he knew
that the little dewdrop in the heart of
the rose would be sad when 1t learned
the fate of its sister, and because it
had chosen so wisely what to do that
morning he wished it to be happy.
