brushing the forehead and speaking
kn1 words, the passing seems much
easier.
So, my friend you can see that
could go on and name the Millions tina
| mentioned of this little word and
still there would be room for more.
So, when we go up to our daily duties,
start the day with a kindly GOOD
morning" meet your companions and
your friends, with a kindly smile and
above all, never let evil take the place
of some kind word or deed, that you
should do for someone each day.
Remember when mother used to say
your prayers ove you to you, how she
would use, ooh, kindly Jesus, watch
over me-" Even today how nee, it
would be if whhen you kneel to ask
the Almighty, the Supreme Ruler, to
have mercy upon you, also ask him
to do a kindly deed to a friend or an
enemy, far or near. I am sure that
if you will do this, your lifewill be
more peaceful and happy to you and to
your friends.
Remember this, Kindness costs you
and will be excepted by
anyone You'll receive twice as much
for what you've done. / would like
to impress this upon your hearts and
hope that it will linger with you day
by day, this poem,
Hearts like doors, will open with ease
To very, very. little keys,
And don't forget, that two of these,
Are Thank, you Sir" and IF you
Please"

discussion groups in which girls found

for the girl to earn her living and to
prepare herself to be the type of
parent that will be interested in her
children and what they do. Your
health is the first thing to consider in
learning how to be beautiful. Mrs.
Brown also stated that girls whose

Talking
Things Over
Mildred J. Bronson
IA Word With a Million Meanings
A little word in Kindness spoken,
A motion or a tear:
Has often healed a heart that's broken,
And made a friend sincere.

This is indeed a wonnerful little
poem, and true to the very depths Of
its existence. 1t is so very, we may
say sad, or would you call it unfortun-
ate, that so many of US, do not realize
the necessity Of kindness in this dark
and draery world. But maybe we are
not to be blamed, it might be, may we
say, because we do not fully under
stand the meaning of kindness.
Kindness is the most essential thing
in this world, today I would even place
it above friendship. 1t is the very
law of life. 1t is the one thing that
keeps our hearts turning. 1t is the
link that holds heaven and earth to-
gether. 1t is the very principle of
love. One could go on and on des-
cribing kindness, but still fail to tell
you just what it really is. 1t is pract-
ically the one thing in this world that
one can not express in words. 1t must
be shown.
We, as a rule, do not stop to consid-
er that there r more people in this
world that are unhappy, possibly pin
ing away, just because they are not
shown a little kindness, then there are
people that the truly happy. Just be-
cause one smiling is no sign that he or
she is happy. Sometimes a little
smile will help to keep back a tear. If
we but had the power to e inside of
a persons heart or to read their true
thoughts and feelings, practically,
would be a little kinder to
his fellow man.
There are SO many ways, in which
to break a persons heart. So many
little ways. Sometimes its just n
little word, of it may be just a motion,
but the way in which it is said or done
can help to break ones heart into
splinter.
Let's stop here a moment and try
to analize one word with a million
meanings. Several poets have eneliz-
it in as many ways. Of all of them,
this one, l pick to bring to you.
Kindness is to do and say,
The kindness Things, in the kind
way"
Think this over for yourself and
try and figure it out and see how easy
it covers my previous statement of a
million meanings. A kind word, of
times, stops a shedding tear. A smile
from a kind lip will always bring
a smile from the tiniest babies lips.
1t is a very vicious dog, that will not
stop at the words, mice doggie" in
such kind words A home is oftimes
brighter, when it is entered with, dear"
or something likeable kind greeting.
The little bird seems to enjoy when
a kind hand begins to throw their food
upon the ground, with a chirp, chirp,
in their own language, they return the
kind greeting. Even in the last hours
Of life, when death enters to take COM
mand, so much can be done with a
few kind words or with a kindly hand
