CHEERFULNESS
Be cheerful. It is trite advice to tell women to take ra-h day as ib comes, to avoid remorse, over what, is done and forebodings o cr- what is to come, but •it is n-> less valuable advice. Nervous prostration is seldom the resilfc of*-present trouble or work, but of work and" trouble anticipated. Mental exhaustion comes to those who looff ahrad and 1 cliimb mountains before'they arrive at them. Resolutely biuild a wall to-day and live within thie enclosure. The ra,st may have, been hard, sad or wroni\ It is o er. The -future may.be li'?e ih'e Past, but the woman who worries' about it may not live to meet it. If sh-i does she -will bear it. The only thine; with which she should concern herself is today, its 'sunshine, its air, its , friend, its wholesome Avork, and pc-rhaps its necessary sorrow.
