LET US BE HAPPY
• THE SYMBOL OF COURTESY LANGUAGE OF THE SMILE Why the importance of the smile? Because it is reflected in ourselves. Smiles are the sunlight and frowns the clouds of daily intercourse. We react happily to the smile, unhappy to the scowl.
A bachelor, who was seeking, a suitable wife, when a young woman in his office was suggested as deserving and desirable, answered with an emphatic "No.” "Why not?” asked, his friend. "Because she always looks as though she wants to bite someone’s head off.” He lack of the smiling habit cost her ,an excellent husband. The smile conveys to us that the sun has come out from behind the clouds, the earth warms, everything is right with us, and with those about us; let us be happy. That is the language of the smile. It is cheerfulness. A smile kindles hope, without which mankind is poor, indeed. It is a stamp of health. To all the world the healthy man or woman is a welcome sight. Defective strength and lowered vitality are expressed by drooping facial muscles, and a too-serious even a jad expression. A smile is the symbol of courtesy, and courtesy we all know, keeps the creak out of the machinery of life. Smiles are miracle-workers. Smiles are friend makers.
