"Grandmother, you must have
been very pretty when you were a
girl."
"Indeed, I was not at all pret
ty. .Now, I do not know as any one
ever called me nice looking. What
made you say that, dear?"
"Because everybody loved you so.
Uncle, says that you had Just lots
of beaux and that everybody was
your friend. 1 would give anything
If 1 was pretty.
"But, Virginia, you do- not have
to be pretty to have friends. Think
of the plain girls of your acquaint
ance who have many beaux and
friends."
"But I' haven't, grandmother.
Sometimes I feel that nobody loves
me. There are so many nice
things that I have not. All ray girl
acquaintances know how to do
something nice, and I do not know
how to do a single thing well. The
ability to learn was just not born
in me. Beauty, and ability, well,
1 wish you would just listen to all
of my shortcomings. Don't say a
word, now, till I get through,
please."
"Well, dear, I'll let you say every
thing bud that you want to about
yourself this one time, and then I
shall tell you what I think about
you. Remember that I h.ive seen
more of the world than you have
and am old enough to know about
such things. Go ahead, now, and
tell me all about it."
"Well, the main thing, I think, is
that I am not pretty; my mirror
does not show nie one feature that
could be called pretty. You know I
got the most votes In 'Statistics'
at school for having the longest
nose, and it does look a great deal
like a pear. .My complexion is ex
ceedingly red, and the school girls
always called me 'Pingie,' .My hair
is hay-colorrd and short, and there
Is not a single kink about It. .My
mouth Is twice too big, I've got a
lot of wrinkles on my forehead, and,
well, you see for yourself, and
know that nobody could think that
I was anything but a bad looking
girl. 'Plain' does not describe me."
"That much for that. New, you
said something about plain girls be
ing popular. That is because they
can do something useful and enter
taining. I can't do either. I can t
play any musical Instrument, 1 can't
talk entertainly, 1 can't make pret
ty things with my needle, 1 can't
Play all the popular games, and,
when it comes to singing, I can't
even carry a tune. 1 do not blame
people for not liking me, for 1 am
perfectly worthless. You see how it
is, grandmother; I have none of the
nice qualities that make a girl pop
ular. Y'ou cannot find a thing ad
mirable about me, now, can you?"
"Well, Virginia, I admit that I am
afraid you have not the quality that
will make you popular. But you
are wrong about all those things you
have mentioned being the cause of
your unpopularity. You may not be
a beauty, but it does not take beau
ty of face to make you popular. It
is beauty of soul, my dear. If you
forget yourself and try to do things
for others to make them happy, you
will forget that you are not pretty,
and nobody else will think of it, for
they will be thinking how sweet
and helpful you are. Did you ever
think of that? Try it, and see if
It does not work. That is the way
I made most of my friends. A pret
ty face does not count for much in
this world, and you will not have to
get very old to learn It.
"Then you say you cannot sing
and play, and entertain socially.
What do these really count for when
you can do things just as helpful to
others? Think of the busy care
worn mothers in town; think of the
girls who have not had the chance
you have had to study. You can do
very much to help these. When you
said that you could do nothing well,
you forget that you can cook, darn
and sew neatly, and I know that
there is not a child in the neighbor
hood but would go to sleep in your
arms If you would take time to cud
tile him.
"Such things as these really make
the true woman. To be happy you
must forget your shortcomings and
use the powers you have to make
'others happy. But you must have
a deep, abiding faith In the Father
to be able to do this. You can get
the unselfish spirit from no one but
Christ; He is love, you know, and
love is never selfish. This is my
secret of happiness.
1 "I see from your thoughtful ex
pression that you understand me.
and I shall not let you say another
word about yourself, but am going
to send you over to help Mrs. Davis
with that mendiug she was dreading
so much this morning. Don't you
want to go?'"
1 "Yes, ma'am. Thank you, grand
; mother, for saying all of these
thinirs. 1 think 1 understand what
you mean, and why you are always
so happy, and I am going to try to
make others happy after this. Help
me to always remember, won't you,
please." Exchange.

One-fourth of the Anglo-Indian
population la India la supported by
charity. For the Anglo Indian
thinka that work la beneath turn,
and really at heart he is a born
snob. It isn't drunkenness among
the India, nor is It the seasonal
trades, as it is sometimes with
us. for work there ia continuous the
year round. Neither is it the -monotony
of a dreary home or daily
toil that drive him to drink and
tnen to poverty: for there is no part
of Calcutta where there are people
of one social grade, but the homes
cf poor are interspersed with the
rich.
He Is a pauper purely and simply
because he is an aristocrat.
He has English blood iu his veins
and he wants to live like the Eng
lish, and the English iu India are
the successful and the rich; they
have their well apointed homes,
their servants and every luxury.
The Englishman who works
nith his hands the men In the fac
tories, the day laborers, the fron
tiersmen, farmers are not found in
India.
The beggar snob does not know of
their existence. He knows only the
coolies and the Hindoos who work
with their hands, and he will not
lie one of them. He wishes to pat
tern his life after the Englishman
whom he knows.
He wants to have a servant and
to be waited on. and If he cannot
he will not work. To dig with a
shovel is a disgrace in his eyes, and
begging is infinitely more respecta
ble. So the Anglo Indian pauper is
supported on a scale better than
tnat Of the faithful workmen among
the Hindoos and coolies, and the
burden of the charity falls on the
r'ch English. The wealthy Hindoos
will take none of the responsibilities.
They say that the Englisman creat
ed this class and that on him falls
the weight of support
. There is another cause of this
poverty also apart from this strong
false sentiment, that Is the Insani
tary conditions of life which cause
the death of the father of the house
hold at the early age. That r
duces the family to pauperism at
once, as the lines of work open to
the Anglo-Indian women which she
accepts are practically none. Ex.
