she is going to do, while she lets her mother overwork for lack of her help<br />
now — is making poor progress in the fulfillment of her dreams. The girl<br />
who dreams of the time when she, a woman, will be kind and gracious to<br />
all, one who is loved for her thoughtfulness and gentle ways — and yet who<br />
gives place now to sharp words and impatience, is wasting her time. The<br />
only dreams that are worthwhile, are those that can be, and are, worked out<br />
in practical, everyday life.<br />
A girl will dream; she cannot help it. She may let her mind wander on,<br />
wasting the strength and power that might come from proper musings — as<br />
the power of the waterfall is wasted until it is harnessed and put to<br />
work. The true character builder harnesses her dreams and makes them<br />
work for her, building up pure ideals and a strong purpose to make those<br />
dreams come true.<br />
Dream — but let the dreams be of usefulness and service,<br />
of purity and truth. Look away to the mountain heights, and, after looking,<br />
climb, climb, climb! Make your dreams come true. You can do it, if they are<br />
the right kind. God bless the girl with noble dreams.<br />
