Excerpt from The Pharmaceutical Era, Vol. 44: An Illustrated Monthly Publication for the Drug Trade; January, 1911 The clear gray eyes of the woman met those of the speaker understandingly. She glanced backward toward the waiting room door which was slowly opening and saw a room packed with discontented humanity. She paused to say softly, Thank you. I will wear the new habit you have given me, throughout the coming year gladly and I trust gracefully. I shall stop chafing uselessly over what I have no power to con trol and endeavor to make the best of my own condition and surroundings. With buoyant step she passed from the room, to go forward into a New Year of greater prosperity through intelligent rather than indolent repose.
