Conversation Etiquette.
Do not argue, or appear to notice
other peoples inaccuracies in
speech.
Do not interrupt others while
speaking, hut listen patiently until
they have finished. Remember that
the good listener is generally more
appreciated than the clever talker.
DO not talk of your private and
family affairs except to intimate
friends. and then be careful not to
do so often.
Do not always begin conversa-
ton by remarking on the weather
Even in New York the topic soon
becomes weariSome.
Do not speak mockingly of per.
sonal defects. Somebody present
may have the same.
Do no: talk loud or fast. A clear,
distinct voice has great power.
Do not, when narrating an acct
dent, keep on saying, You see,"
you know" "Don't you know
Do not whisper. If you have any
thing to say that the company may
rot hear, wait till you see the per-
son alone.-EX.
Do we know when we are happy?
Truly, L don't think that most of US
do. Happiness, you see, so seldom
consists in the presence of the things
which are supposed to produce it,
The saying is true, 1--WE are never
so far from being satisfied as when
we have got all we want" Happi
! ness is shy and fitful sprite. When
the feast is spread, and all is decked
ready for the reception, she will
perhaps just peep in at the door, and
then fit away; yet, when unex-
pected, she will suddenly descend
and spread her broad, healing wings
over the most unlikely scenes and
creatures. So it remains, l con-
clude, for each of us to decide in
what one thing lies the chief hope
or happin ess for our individual
being; and, having so decided, to
work for that one thing, supposing
that it permitted us to do so.

at is not so much what you say,
AS the manner in which you say it;
1t is not so much the language you use,
AS the tones in which you convey it.
"The words may be mild and fair,
And the tones may pierce like dart;
The words may be soft as the summer
air,
But the tones may break the heart"
