Her Daily Thought Book.

A year ago I started a dally thought book, and so much entertainment and profit has it afforded me that I pass the idea on for the benefit of other girls who are interested in self-im-provement. Every day I leawn a new quotation, now and then a whole poem, and when it is mastered I write it in my book under that date. If a day slips by without my learning a quotation I make the loss up later, and when in reading I come across things I want to learn I clip them or make a memorandum where they can be found, so they will be available whpn I am at leisure. The result is a broadening knowledge of the poets; and, in fact. I hate found that it is not hard to memorize prose. The plan was suggested by the experience of a friend who was confined to bed for three months. During that time she was forbidden reading and visitors, yet she was a most tractable patient. “I entertained myself by reading the yards of poetry I know." she explained. —Harper's Bazar.
