Among other pecullarities of busy

to make life sweeter and finer is noted
In business circles some one has actu-
ally gone on record as favoring the
adjustment of the time-honored Dear
Sir" and yours very truly from bust
ness letters, and has mis-appiied much
valuable time and effort in an esti-
mate OF the time consumed in these
little matters of courteous usage. Not
only ia business, however, but In
home and social life, there seems an
inclination to omit many small atten-
tions to others which were once con-
sidereH essential to good breeding. 1t
is not lack of kindly feeling which
causes this condition, but 1t Is rather
the result of the high pressure under
which most of us are living. Innumer-
able interests and duties fill the days,
and 1T is inevitable that sooner or
later something must be crowded out.
So absorbed do we become in the pur-
suit OF various Understanding OF
supreme Importance, it seems to US
that ansensibly we @rift into state
of carelessness and Indifference as to
those with whom we come in contact,
and eventually we miss much of the
beauty and charm of living, without
realizing Just what has brought about
the change. Was it not Emerson
who said, life is never so short but
there Is time enough for courtesy"
And amether said, is not the life more

of those nearest, or has failed to find
in the great sea of human faces some
which brighten with pleasure at his
approaSh! There is not too much OF
genniEe courtesy, but too little. Its
absence may be noted everywhere, in
hOmas and schools, in the shops, on
the cars, at the summer resorts, even
in the churches, where of all places
care and hurry should be left outside
