Half-Century Mark 179
thusiasm for the fun they had been but she never regretted them as past.
As a friend who knew her very well once remarked: " No one has made more mistakes in her life than Polly — and really bad mistakes, too — yet has managed with all to retain the love of people." Probably this was because she was the first to admit she was wrong. She had so much sincerity in her nature that usually people loved her even after they had met her only once. She gave out so much. So often people have said how much she inspired them. There was an inner glow that penetrated to all who came in contact with her. Without putting it into words at all, she inspired people to go on and succeed in whatever field they had chosen; she inspired them to give of the very best that was in them, and more than one man has said that after seeing her he was inspired to go and propose to the woman with whom he was in love. Everywhere she went she left a happier feeling behind her. She frankly admitted that she wanted people to love her and was unhappy if they did not. Perhaps one of the most interesting things is that women liked her as much as men. So many beautiful women are attracted only to the opposite sex and have little time for their own sex. Not so with Pauline. She always had many women friends and by that is meant real friends and not just the fair weather variety. To her, friendship was something very sacred. Her greatest fault — if such it can be called — was that she trusted everyone, often to her own detriment. Yet, despite some heartrending experiences of broken trust, the hardest thing in the world was to make her believe ill of anyone. Her reply was always something about turning the other cheek and even when that other cheek got slapped also, she still could seem to see that in some instances it is better to turn the back.
