HdE many little rudenesses OF
everyday life are a source Of
great annoyance 10 most observ-
ant people. Yet one may avoid
these marks Of thoughtlessness without
any great personal sacrifice. Let Us
enumerate few evidences Of selfish
ness. 50 that they may be avoided in
future, for no one wishes to possess
faults which are q constant irritation 10
friends and acquaintance.
I think you all know the woman who
chooses some particular point Of your
gown and stares hard at it while she
.cOnverses. You have felt the uncom-
Portable doubt about your appearance
until at last you have screwed Up the
courage to look down TO see what really
has happened. and there is nothing
there. The woman has merely been
thinking Of something else ali the time
you have been talking, and you almost
wish that there had been a fearful spot
upon your cherished costume so you
might imagine at least that your bril-
liant remarks had had some audience
Then there is the other type of person
who lets her eyes wander in search Of
some distraction. and at last she begins

ness. too. and you should really not be-

been too great
But women are not the only offenders.
There Is the terrible bore IN the shape
OF a man who always becomes so inter
ested IN his own remarks that he en-
phasizes them BY shaking his hand in
your face or leans forward toward you
so that you must nearly fail from your
chair to get out Of his overeager way.
