Mayor Cleared the Sidewalk Himself

Mayor Cleared the Sidewalk Himself.
They tell story of Mayor Studley
in New Haven that is characteristic.
He was walking along Church street
one day when he found the way
blocked by hog" Of a builder who
had filed the sidewalk with cement
and planks, forcing everybody out into
the street. The mayor picked up the
planks himself and threw them into
the street and rolled the. cement after
them. He left word with nearby pc.
liceman that If that sidewalk was
obstructed again the builder would be
arrested. Some men can do that sort
of thing without diminishing their dig

their popularity. Studley is one OF

charming art of being agreeable.
Tho this is part Of the mere routine
of social courtesy, and has not, properly
a place in these letters, feel that 1 must
remind you of a too-frequent fault.
Do not fail to get the name of the per-
son to whom you are introduced-get it
in full and accurately. Not that, at first
meeting, you should center your attention
so anXiously on the name that it takes
away from the earnest warmth Of your
greeting. BY no means. Rather let the
name slip, if you feel there is the slight
est chance of such a weakening of your
greeting.
But either before or after the intro
duction get the name clearly from the per-
son who introduces you, and in conversa-
ton address the new friend by name sew
eral times. There is subtle f1attery in
that, and it will help you to connect the
name with the face.
Remember Faces.
1t is one of the most important steps to
social success, this attention that enables
one to recall names and faces. Don't be
careless or Indifferent in this respect. 1t
hurts the human vanity of any man or
woman to feel that they have made no
impression on the retina of your mem

else, to be remembered by even g. dog, or

There is no especial gift in remember
ing individuals. Have you ever noticed
that royal folk are invariably the posses
sors Of long memories in this respect?

ceive in their youth. When King Ed

WordIess Cordially. 81
No need to say 1t in words It would
sound fearfully gushing and insincere. But
young, you have your eyes and eyebrows,
your hand, and your smile-all Of them
more eloquent Of real feeling than any
accent you could train into your voice.
Say 1t by your manner, and 1t will look
true. Practice until you are sure that
your manner tells all the warmth and
liking that you mean 1t to tell.
What is the use of boldly announcing
Il am pleased to meet you," when your
countenance Is as unresponsive as a
stone, and your handshake as limp and
uncordial as the end Of a damp rag?
Smile just a triae. Don't grin. Hold
the outst.0tched hand in a firm, warm
pressure. Not too long, not too brief.
There! have you not already paid the
compliments?
Remember, there's way Of releasing
ones hand that Is as abrupt as throwing
! the hand from you-and beware Of that
offense. Take thought as to the quality
of your handshake, and be sure you look
clearly, directly and with an interest at
the person to whom you are introduced.
If you have not a gay and graceful
phrase upon your lips, let that glance suf-
| flee. as it always will. Why, often and
often, I have been chilled to my marrow
or warmed and fattered to my very
soul by the mere glance OF cordial or in
different eyes.
1t Is only a moment this instant OF

two columns would be all too little to do

women have found that moment worthy OF
hours and days Of solitary practice.
The great point, DIT the root of all the
not striving to be admired, but your pur-
pose is to please. You must please others
! first-before you can be admired.
! And the very persons who interest YOU

! please them, give you that admiring

most Of all for your success.
Praise That Helps.
If your companion is elderly, give him
double attention. If he Is prosy, in fact
