Don't Try to Have the Last "oro' ~"
Avoid Useless Explanations.
A young girl once heard a bit OF Wis
dom from the lips of an aged woman
a woman who had rounded the full
term of ninety years, and with eyes
still bright clear looked out upon the
inrolling waters of eternity. The girl
was impressed by the emphasis with
which the venerable dame said TO her:
Bessie. never insist on having the last
word" The determination to have the
final word leads to more quarrels and
more bitterness OF feeling at home
than almost anything else in domestic
life The fact is, that one may
so control her tongue and her
ewes that she may allow her OPP
ponent the pleasure of this coveted con-
Guiding thrust and yet placidly retain
her own opinion, and in the nomely col
loquial parlance of the up-country,
where one finds strong-willed people
living together in great peace with the
most pronounced diversity of charac-
teristics, do as she's q mind to-"
Another bit of wisdom may be con-
densed into pithy sentence. Avoid
explanations. In some families moth
ing is taken for granted. Every action,
every decision, every new departure,
every acceptance or rejection of an in
vitation must be endlessly explained and
re-explained. In that way lie all sorts
of STUN bling blocks. AS rule, beyond
your parents or your husband there is
nobody who has the right TO demand of
you explanations at each step of your
onward patti. Don't give them. Estab-
lish reputation for keeping your own
counsel. 1t will serve you well in many
q crisis, and be no end of comfort
Again, dom be forever setting people
right. There is household fiend with
a memory for dates and details, who
can never sit still and hear papa say
that he went down town on Monday at
eight without correcting the statement
with the remark that the hour was
half-past. If mamma happens to allude
to Cousin Jenny's visit as having oc-
Cured last Thursday, this wasp-like
impersonation of accuracy inter
poses with the statement that it
was Friday, not Thursday, which
brought Cousin Jane. A dozen times
day exasperating frictions are
caused by needless corrections of this
sort, referring to matters where exact
ness is not really imperative, the affairs
in question being unimportant, and no
violation of truth being for an instant
intended.
A manifest bit of wisdom is to re-
frain from criticism of food. The sauce
may not be quite piquant enough, the
salad may be wilted, but in the name
of decency say nothing about it in eth
err case.
Silence is golden in nearly every in
stance where defect obtains in the
home economy.
To abstain from superfuous apologies
is also the habit of discretion. There
should seldom be the occasion for apollo
gy in the household. where all w5uld
do well and wisely to be constantly
gentle and courteous.-Harper' Bazaar
