Advice on Social Problems

Time presses and the people are
strangers-why bother 20 wait ones
turn? 1t always pays to retain your
self-reSpect. A consideration for
others will help you 70 do this.
In closing this little talk let me i'm
press upon my readers that each one
of them can contribute toward the
enjoyment of an audience. A few
thoughtless ones can lessen that
pleasure by rudeness and inconsider-
ate behavior. No transient delight
dependent upon such action can ever
compensate for the feeling that the
rights Of others have been disre-
garded
Remember that behavior toward
strangers is a wonderful evidence OF
unselhshness OF egoism. Our man
ners in public places proclaim to hun
dreds of people certain facts. Which
is 1t to be. my friends? Are you will
ing to throw the opinion Of others to
the winds by ruthlessly following
your own inclinations, or are you
willing to recognize the fact that you
are units in a great mass, with power
to contribute toward the enjoyment
OF the whole?

Energy is lost, and the muscles below

The proper position at n sewing
machine is taken by sitting on a chair

thigh muscles their share OF work.

WHEN AT THE THEATER

- row that the theaters and lee
~ ture halls have opened their
doors TO the throngs OF seekers
after amusement or intellectual
stimulus it will not be amiss to des-
cant on ones actions in any place where
people congregate.
I think that we owe It to our self
respect TO attend every performance in
such a way that a full recognition OF
the rights OF others is given. No one
has any right 10 regard his ticket or
admission as a special privilege to an

price has been paid must not blind one
TO the realization that others have PAID
Just as much, and perhaps wish to hear
or see more than frivolous disturber-
The first thing that every well-bred
man or woman insists upon is prompt
ness in arriving. We have often seen
a beautifully gowned woman and her
escort sweep down an aisle twenty min
utes after a lecturer has begun his
reading. We have noticed the rising
line OF people and have heard the
creaking Of chairs as the two late

dignation ought to be felt by the listen
ers who have arrived punctually.
1 think that tn offending picture hat
Is almost extinct; for the attention Of
women has been called to it so often
that innate kindness has risen to the
surface, and has given the people in the
rear a view OF the thing which they
came to see. Arrangements have solved
this problem by presenting polite re-
quests for the removal Of the obstruc-
tions. 1t is one Of the troublegivinS
elements that has ceased to be.
Do not speak during any sermon,
lecture or performance while others
are trying to hear. 1t is the height
OF rudeness to remark about the
speakers in tones which are audible
