HABITS THAT HURT.

think before you form them. Disagree
able habits of the body, scowling,
twisting the mouth, biting the nails,
continually picking at something,
drumming with the fingers, screwing
and twisting chair or whatever you
can lay your hands on-do not acquire
any of these things. Learn to sit at
ease, like a-gentleman, was going
to say, but I am afraid even women
fall into such tricks sometimes
OF course these are worse habits
than these-habits which become
vices, habits which convert good men
into bad ones-but am now speaking
of very little things, which are only
annoying when they are persisted in.
There are habits, too, of speech, with

about your manner Of walking. sitting

will find your careless habits have
hardened into coat of mail of which
it will be difficult to rid yourself
