those who look to him for comfort and
guidance
] have heard a well-meaning young
man turn in his seat and denOunce a
stupid servant in foreible language.
This was done at a restaurant, where
the young man entertained six Of US at
a dinner. The waiter was remiss. and
we smiled in constrained fashion and
promptly lost our appeutes.
Now, that host was much more in
the wrong than was the waiter The
servant knew no better. and we were
ready to overlook his errors and forget
them, but the host had broken an old.
and beautiful, and sacred law Of hos
pitality We could have eaten our cold
soup happily and cheerfully had moth
ing been said but our host had lost his
self-cOntrOl and he ruined our dinners.
He meant we'll and in our behalf, to
be sure but he was no diplomat. he
had evidently undergone little training
in the discipline of his own feelings.
He forgot TO consider us, and he made
a dismal failure in his attempt to rem
der himself agreeable. Better a dinner
OF herbs served i'm an atmosphere Of
serenity and cheerful philosophy, than
a stalled OK dished up in wrath.
