BROKEN ENGAGEMENTS.
They Are Annoying, But Here's q
Remedy

Broken appointments are the most
irritating Of all annoyances If they are
broken without warning, If the man who
has an appointment with you simply
stays away and says nothing about 1t.
Very often 1t is not so much any time
that is lost or any trouble that you are
put to as 1t Is the injured feeling that you
are of 80 little consequences as TO be
neglected-at any rate. of too little con-
sequence for it to be worth while taking
any trouble ON your account.
Not the least important social use OF
tie telephone Is In breaking we'll as
making appointments. Everybody finds
once in a while that It is very incon-
venient' If not impossible. to keep an
engagement made in good faith. The
man with whom he has the engagement
understands this perfectly well. of
course and a word over the telephone
straightens matters out cou-teously and
satisfactorily. Then, too, the same talk
which cancels one engagement can gem
orally arrange another. thus removing
two difficulties at once.
