( 106 ) 
A woman, for instance, without refinement is an odious, unsexed 
creature. She will live in a horrible state of slovenliness, because she will 
not exert herself. 
Refinement is that which makes life more noble, most spiritual, far¬ 
thest removed from the animal; and is it not this which makes life most 
comfortable ?

A plant of the genus Chaerophyllum. Its name is derived from the 
Greek Chairein (x a W eLV ), to rejoice, and Phyllon (<£vAAov) ? leaf. 
Sincerity. 
“This, above all—To thine own self be true; 
And it must follow, as the night the day, 
Thou canst not then be false to any man.” 
£ IACEBIT Y is the true and perfect mirror of the mind. It reflects the 
honest thought . It is the foundation of character, and without that 
there is no moral grandeur. 
Sacred are the lips from which have issued only truths. 
Happy the man who neither paints nor patches, veils nor veneers. 
Blessed is he who wears no mask. 
Blessed is he on whose lips is not found iniquity, and happy the man 
who speaks right things ; he shall be loved. 
“Let all thy converse be sincere, 
Thy conscience as the noonday clear.” 
—George Eliot.
