When You BORROW y Book.

Remember that there are few things
one is SO 10th To loan as books-if We
except money. 1t is .curious, too, tina,
u book, like AN umbrella, is commonly
reckoned public property. Few PEG.
pie trouble themselves To return it.
Considering the vast cost OF even an
unpretending library, this is very ex,
asperating TO the eager book hunter,
who makes many annual sacrifices
that he may add a few choice volumes
10 his meagcr store.
He may defend himself, however.
if he will. He may politely decline 10
lend his treasures. When you have
borrowed a book you have no possible
excuse for loaning il on your own re,
sponsibility. To do SO is TO violate every
law Of good faith, and to incur either
the open or tacit ~displeasure Of the
friend who obliged you. Chicago
