Personal Mention
THE BLISSFUL “HONORARY."
No "papers" she need write, no stlr-
ring themes Indite.
On the burning questions that Ignite
this burning age;
Tet, If her sweet whim's propitious,
None will dub her "smart." "ofll-
clous,”
If with gusto she should In the thickest
tight engage.
Every privilege and function
She may claim with pleasing unctln*
Only this—she can't put down (In black
. and white) her vote!
But so deftly she can lobby.
For her own'dear precious hobby,
That the absence of her "franchise" you
would scarcely note;
Then, If things should go contrary.
Why this blissful "Honorary"
Only needs to sweetly smile and say;
"You know I'm not allowed to
vote.”
When the club would give a dinner
To some famous saint or sinner.
And the "active members" with the
oysters—fiercely "stew,"
How this blissful Honorary
Dons her smile, and garments merry,
And blithely sallies forth without ado;
Mid the palmy decoration,
As befits her lofty station,
You may look at her, and Joy and
Youth renew!
Envy not the haughty c*ar
Many a pang his soul may mar,
Even sultans sometimes have an ugly
dream;
But, to eat your cake, and hnvh It—
To spend your chink and save It
Just commend me to the lady of our
theme;
Hers the concentrate quintessence.
The amalgamated essence,
Of a Job that's Just as easy hs It seems.

given because she knew they expected her
to do so. knew that others thought her

that poverty nnd Ignoriinee of her rela-

Before you give nuythlng to anylrndy, read
rer the vrso quoted above, atid. unless

C ct any benefit t«» others to result^or any
pplncss nnd satisfaction to yourself.
Neither here nor hereafter will your
giving .be rewarded, for “thyself, not thy
gifts are of value.”
Many a widow's mite has done more good
In the world and brought greater results
than millions flung down In frosen chnrlry
through n sense of obligation to the world's
opinion. #
There an* fathers today who are wonder
ing why their sons have proven so un
grateful, ami why their wives art not
lisppy. when a fortune has been ex|x>nded
upon them.
ltut they gave their gifts, not themselves.
Neither wife nor son fell the husband's
tnd father's love ami sympathy In what

Their bills were paid and they were sup-

from money which hat been given from lot *
of the world's approbation, not front ntt**.-

toward nue another; our faith, our trust,
our service expressed In thought, nnd •feel
