Courtesy in Business.

I'll Is great mistake to suppose that po-
likeness costs nothing. 1t seems to cost
some people tremendous effort whenever
they happen to be guilty OF any business
courtesy. They have the idea that bully.
lag insolent manner lends dignity to them,
and that an abrupt style Of speech is
what people most admire in business
man.
And yot these very men will wonder why
they don't get on better in business. In
spite of the genuine bargains they ofer
they are surprised that people keep away
from the store. They do not soc that their
.epellant manner has anything to do with
It; they would perhaps be nstonished to
learn that sensitive peope-and they arc
numerous-would sooner pay moro money
where they are courteously treated than be
bullied or frowned upon at genuine bar

The Two Ladies of Liangoilen Who Lived
Strange Life Together.

The Two Ladies of Llangoilcn Who Lived
Strange Life Together.
Helen Marshall North contributes to
The Century an account Of Lady Eleanor
Charlotte Butler and the Hon. Sara
Ponsonby, who, more than century
ago, ran away from their homes and
settled in the picturesque little town Of
Llangollen. They dressed in q strange
costume that was partly made up Of
masculine garments. They were visited
by many distinguished people and cor
responded with most of the notables Of
their times The writer says.
Among their visitors the ladies also
counted certain Sir Alured, a hand
some and interesting but venerable man
at this period Here is "a romance within
a romance, for of this gallant gentlemAn
it is said that ono of the princeSses fell
desperately in love with him, and her
father, poor old George III, sent the too
fascinating young man away to India,
where there was war at the time, and
whence, therefore, there was some like
lihood that he would not return. But at
/ so he came back, still handsome and
/ fascinating, and was received with dis
tinguished favor by the new king, who
made him field marshal. OF the
princess and her affection nothing more
is learned.
Sir Alured had long known Lady
Eleanor-indeed, for aught / know TO
the contrary, he may have been one Of
the five despairing SWANS mentioned in
that lady's obituary-and once year,
usually in October, he came down to
Llangollen to pay his respects 20 the
two ladies, TO whom the visit was al
ways an occasion Of consequence.
The death of Lady Eleanor was a
grievous blow TO the old man. He came
the year following, however, but was
less gay than usual, and it is even said
that he neglected TO bestow the usual
parting kiss on his fair entertainer The
Hon. Sara promptly reminded him OF
the oversight, for which he at once
made atonement.
Mary Carryl, the faithful servant,
had died in 1909, making the first
change that had occurred in the inmates
of the household.
Each Of the friends wished a picture
Of the other, but neither was willing tC
sitforh her portrait. By some stratagem
Of a friend pictures Of the two together
were secured when the ladies were un.
aware.
In June, 1929, at the age Of 90, Lady
Eleanor passed away, and, although hei
friends surrounded Miss Ponsonhy wit
every possible kindness, she refused t,
be comforted. She was seldom seen ex
oept by her domestics and survived il
her loneliness only IS months.
