Women Who Give Root Always Sought After Discussing a do sen ffcelts women friends a few s ago p, at a little diuner pqrty were, surprised to discover, the. popularity of a woman whom none had believed to have an original personality. Pleasant, kind, lively, interesting she undoubtedly ta, but It was a man who explained the aWtnctlon which makes her companionship de sired by all her friends. "She gives rest,” lie gift sai<|, , "And rest is the greatest a woman has to give. No one In Helen's presence can long be conscious of life’s enormous disarrays; she heals. Her very presence is har monious, she gives a sense of se renity to the restless. That Is why everyone loves her.” Very few women are able to be stow the gift of peace on those whom they meet in dally life, says tbs London Mall. No woman whose mind is rest less, who has not accepted with gra eiousness the reconciliations be tween the ideal and the real, has power to give rest. For this power does not come from anything as superficial as the pose of languid ease, nop does it be long to the quiet woman who so often is also the dull woman. Only the woman whose mind has found rest through discipline, through courage, through of’ strength, can heal the ’wounds the dis turbed soul. Women who have this power give to their friends the assurance of security. Very many Women who delight today displease tomorrow. One Is unable to depend on their stability. But the woman who gives rest does not change her attitude or her convictions or her moral stand ards ; she la no romanticist, but be cause she is In tune with life and her own setting she creates har mony around her.
