Some Infallible Rules That viii Make
You Agreeable ia All
Companies.

Flrst-Remembor that a good voice Is
as essential TO self-possession as good
ideas are essential 20 fluent language.
The voice should be carefully trained
and developed. A fun, clear, flexible
voice is one Of the surest Indications OF
good breeding.
Second-Remember that one may be
witty without being popular. voluble
without being agreeable, a great talker
and yet a great bore.
Third-Be sincere. one who habitual-
~ sneers at everything, not only rem
ders herself disagreeable to others, but
viii soon cease to ind pleasure in life.
Fourth-Be frank A frank, open
countenance and a clear, CHEEKY laugh
are worth far more even socially than
"pedantry in a stiff cravat"
Fifth-Be amiable You may hide a
indictive nature under polite exterior
for a time, as q cat masks its sharp
claws in velvet fur, but the least provo
cation brings out one as quickly as tho
other, and nl-natured people are always
disliked.
Sixth-Be sensible. Society never
lacks for fools, an what you consider
very entertaining nonsense, may soon
be looked upon as very tiresome folly.
Seventh-Be cheerful. II you have no
great trouble on your mind you have
no right to render other people miserable
by your long face and dolorous tones.
