THE SAYINGS OF HELEN WOLJESKA

The New York Life Publishing Company has printed in purple ink a book called “A Woman’s Confessions,” by. Helen Woljeska. Whether Helen Woljeska is a real personage or not is left doubtful, but the extracts from her: diary are more or less interesting. Here are a few: — We should be tbe guardians of our health, not its: slaves. There would not. be half as many urn happy and dissatisfied people if they were less tied up in their own little narrow affairs. A woman is always handsome if she lives fully and proudly. After the pretty, spring she will not wither and fade, but develop into The glowing summer, the superb autumn, the sublime winter. Do not wait for a certain day of the week or date of the month. The time ia now. The hour is here. You should not read books to forget Life, but to understand it more fully and enjoy it more keenly. Don’t exert yourself by being ashamed for others. You might need it all yourself. Do not live only for the future. He is a treacherous fellow. Let every day he its own excuse. The best antidote for an inconvenient question is another. You disappear. Rut- the way you have spent your time remains. Iz is never too late to give up courage. Do not do so just yet. There is no- such thing as a last hope. There is always another, and still another. ■ Every man fulfils hi© part in the_ work of the universe. The few who do it not blindly are called wise. ; What we like best in some people is their idea of us. I am. I must make the best of it.
