Your character shows strength and firmness, coupled with kindness, and a really beautiful domestic ability. You have that broad view that ennbles you to regard crowds as your own family. This is especially true, also, of one of Washington's most gracious hostesses, host-esses, Alice Koosevelt Longworth. Part of this reputation of our more famous Alice Is due to a combination of graclousncss and absolute Independence. Inde-pendence. With Mrs. Longworth, the so-called rules of society are very nearly a farce, almost as much as the rules of life seem to be In Alice In Wonderland. Wonder-land.

People depend upon you a great deal, and you can easily assume leadership any time you get inspired with the reality of a great human need. Your chief injunction here would be not to allow yourself to be led into too much sacrifice for your own good. Always try to see that you are taking yourself along with the big Idea and receiving your own compensation as well.
