There was genuine insight In the
statement made long ago, that the cs-
sence OF high breeding lay In never
being IN haste and never being afraid.
To be n gentleman. according to this
denniilon. was always to have COM
mand OF ones self and ones time. TO
be free alike from the friction, the ir-
ritation, and the crudlty OF haste, and
from the servility and temptations OF
fear, The more carefully this state
ment ~ considered. the more profound
It's truth seems TO be. The applica-
ton OF II was altogether too limited.
Freedom from haste and fear
are the qualities. not only OF high
breeding, but OF the highest develop
mcnt OF ones whole nature. Their
results are moral and intellectual az
well as social. Haste and fear bru-
possibilities OF life: for haste means
the reversal OF all the conditions OF
healthy and natural growth.

Is only to get glimpses OF things. To

The man In haste neither observes nor
