Minding? One's Owi Business.
"One of my dally prayers," said a
woman friend not long ago, "la, "Please,
dear Lord, help me to mind my own busi
ness." "
That ia a clause that many of us might
insert In our prayers, for minding one's
ewn business Is an extremely hard thing
to do, writes Beatrice Fairfax In the St.
Louis Times.
The reason for this Is that your neigh.

minded her own business.
They loved ech other and were alwayg
interested In ch other's welfare, but no
questions were asked. If one stayed out
for dinner the other two nevsr said,
"Where have you beent" but waited to be

They were not angels, these three, but

serenity was only arrived at after much

Wnether In business or social circles,
try every day to mind your own business.
It Is much harder for a woman to mind
her own business than for a man, for
the reason that man'a mind Is filled with
larger problems and he has little time to
spend In speculation as to his neighbor's
concerns.
But Mrs. Jones, no matter how busy, can
always find time to devote to Mrs. Smith's
shortcomings, and to offer much gratuitous
advice.
It might be a good plan to write out and

Such Is the worthy sentiment
of William John Hammond of
PUUiield, Mass., the 70-ysur-old bride
groom, who married (5-year-old Mrs.
Mary J. Lawrence. The marriage was
rather a surprint to relatives and friends
of ths couple, for although they knew ths
wedding had been arranged they did not
expect It so soon.
But Mr. Hammond announced to his son,
with whom he lives, that he and 'Mury"
were going down town after tha license,
o the automobile was brought out and
down town they went, accompanied by a
daughter of Mrs. Lawrence. They cre
ated a small sensation when they entered
ths marriage license office and made ap
plication for permission to wed. Mrs.
Lawrence had been married twice before.
