nR r. BOX, Of the Ladies' Home
lV1 Journal, is, generally speaking.
Avn extremely careful about TIL,
style of literature he provides for the
hundreds OF thousands readers o.
his magazine. He has nice, clean
stories with an unnistakable moral
and no suggestive reflected lights.
lie provides improving and elevating
essays and cooking recipes which
have not too much wine in them. He
has made IT point to relieve the
mind of the anxious young girl who
insistently demanded to know
whether it is right to allow ~ strange
young man to kiss her when he says
good night, and he has given shud
ders of horror to men who have guile
lessly worn Tuxedo coats to dinner
but who, from Mr.. Bol<'s journal learn
that ii is criminaly wrong to appear
in such a garment where there are
ladies. Such young men have felt as
embarrassed because of their breach
Of etiquette, as If they had appeared
IN public in paiamas. while others
have been reioiced to know that there
is no law prohibiting them from send
ing girl vio!ets once in a while, say
at Christmas.
Iut Mr.. Box had one writer for hts
magazine who must cause him to
blush since her more recent literary
work is being exploited. 10 be sure,
she uiu not Go an! great damage 70

Is more than virtue-lt IS an attrl-

One who suffers daily, hourly, from
the DrocrGstlnatlnS habit is competent
to give advice on the subject, particu-
larry after having systematlaed the
fault to such an extent that 1t is re-
thing today that you can put off until
the latter part or next week when per-
haps you won't have to do it at all"
Now this isn't a lazy mans creed. 1T
is simply the result of repeated and
persistent delay until the procrastlna-
ton habit has been acquired irreVoca-
bly,. You will never know exactly
what that means until you reach the
point where you never do anything in
the world with prompttude, when
your every impulse is to wait little,
when YOU are Il veritable Mexican with
the ever repeated "Manana.' Tomor-
row. Tomorrow. You will not be able
to thoroughly realize the grasp Of this
habit until the thought OF even enter
