Don't hitch along on an open car.
1t is easier to let people climb over your
knees
Don't ask a fat man If this is hot
enough for him. He'll think there's
Joke in 1t somewhere.
Don't take 1t out on the ice man. II
1t wasn't for him we'd have to cuss
the coal man the year around.
Don't try to cool off on cocktails or
warm up on ice-cold lemonade. There's
philosophy about such things.
Don't imagine that the fellow in the
white duck suit is looking for red-hot
coal stove. He's got the same feeling
down his back that you have.
Don't get up arguments about ice
cream. 1t may kill, but If it does our
loss will be your gain.
Don't tell anybody that at this date
last year, when you were up in the
mountains, you had to sleep with three
blankets over you. You are thought to
be liar as 1t Is.
Don't talk politics, and feel under
obligations to call some one liar. Let
him escape until the frosts come again.
Don't swear off on anything, and thus
perturb your mind and add another bur-
den. A good case Of prickly heat is
enough for one person to lug around.
Don't imagine that you are the only
rag on the line. The rest of us are in
it with you, and feel just the same over
it, and any little trust in icebergs will
be promptly nipped in the bud and
