"There is only one decent way to get
out of all this," said a bride-elect recent
ly, "and that is to have no bridesmaids
at all. If you have them you are expected
to do all these thi-gs, and my people
find that my trousseau and wedding
breakfast are quite sufficient to please
the family, without all the rest of it, so
I am going to cut all that out."
Learn to Keep Your Temper.
One of the most difficult things to do,
sometimes, is to keep one's temper. A
calm serenity of temper and a self
control which keeps a person unruffled
amid the petty annoyances and ills of
every-day life indicate the possession of
perfect mental health. Nowadays peo
ple are very fond of saying so-and-so
was "just mad," meaning very angry;
but it would be well if temper were more
often seriously regarded as madness.
It may be preventable madness, but
madness It is while it lasts, and there
is seldom anyone who is made more un
happy by it than the person who gives
way to it. In our treatment of the ill
tempered the cultivation of the art of not
hearing will be very helpful. It is a
useful art all through life.-N. Y.
