Always Cheerful.
Peopli: of even temperament are the most companionable. There are some folk who are out of sorts at every hand's turn for no legitimate reason— because the sun has gone under a cloud, because they slept badly or ate too heartily ; but the companionable person makes the best of every situation. She is not fidgety or fussy, and her prejudices are not, as with some, her chief characteristics. When she arrives, she brings another atmosphere with her, and common things seen with her eyes, become wonderful. She is a person of ideas, and bestows them with prodigality ; she is not so often a wit as the occasion of wit in others, whioh is a far more popular being than the mere wit can hope to be.
