Webster defines Individuality"
as that quality which distinguishes
one person from another. If you
were to stand on a corner before u
theatre or a church, and watch the
great numbers of people coming out,
you would be amazed at the dis
similarity of faces-so very many
faces and yet all different, one from
the other. It Is 'individuality'
which makes you you and ne
me"
Sometimes it helps actively to
contribute to that quality which
says that you are Dorothy and Nary
is Mary, by a little exterior em5el-
, Hshment. We see it being done
every day-and it is SO simply ar-
complished that I wonder we didu
