WHO DID NOT RISE

LONDON. Jan. "a yOurg Irish peer
has had a lesson IN the etiquette anect-
ing the King as a clubman. This is
quite different az the Marlborough, the
exclusive club founded BY his majesty
and where he loves 10 take his ease
as a simple gentleman. from the rule
at any other club. King Edward, wish
ing 10 shed al royal dignity in his
favorite club, made a special rule for
the Marlborough that no member
should rise when he entered.
The young peer, who had recently
been elected 10 the Royal Yacht squad
ron. OF which the King is a member.
thought this rule held good in that
fashionable club also. He was sitting
alone on the terrace of the clubhouse
az Cowes during the great regatta, and
kept his seat when King Edward
passed by, accompanied by the Duke Of
C0nnaught and an equerry.
Shortly afterWard he was mortified
70 receive a message OF rebuke from
the King, through his equerry, who
came Go inquire whether Lord Blank
had forgotten 20 stand up when his
majesty passed.

FrankneSS Burns Like Flame,
So Keep to Yourself Advice
You Think the Friends Need
By CARMEN SYLVIA,
Queen Elizabeth of Rou.nania)

BE frank with yourself. That is often
much more difficult than TO be so with
others; but DO not say things which are
50 painful, so hard that no grass grows
where your foot steps no flower blooms
where your hand touches.
You have no idea how terribly painful;
is your frankness. your outspokenness.
Like a redhOt iron. your words SINCE
and scar. and often the party whom you
address is not even able TO answer.
Human emotions, actions and affairs
are so complicated, so obscure, that Won
can never fathOm them, not even in the
case Of your dearest. most intimate
friend. Friendship often becomes a bur
den. because the friend thinks he is
justified in speaking of and criticlsing
Things which YOU hardly dare confess 10
your own heart and conscience. and a
friend is even apt 10 feel hurt because
YOU do not speak TO him. confess 10 him
or ask his advice.

Intimacy That Isn't.

There is nothing more unpleasant than
an intimacy, which really is not in
timaey at all. between two persons who
believe they are justified in judging and
criticising each other and express their
opinion of things which do not concern
them at all. This is why brothers ana
sisters fau out. They believe they have

Know Your Own Self.

Ii You were always patient, then an
your friends would know that sou ur-
derstoOd them. even without a word of
explanation, that they might always ap-
peal to your kind charitable heart.
Keep your heart open. and be always
frank with yourself but let all others
walk their own paths, which they must
choose without your assistance. You
cannot show them or teach them; YOU
cannot make them better by an un-
friendly, false, and uncharitabie word,
spoken IN anger OF impatience-
What YOU call frank and sincere
might often more justly be designated
as ''uncalled for and tactless."
