Thoughtless NOisiness.

= Asst week we talked about the
annoying person who always
seeks the last word, and OBJ
tains it. too, even If it be neces-
sary TO go the length Of banging the
door almost from the hinges. And this
subject has reminded me Of other un-
necessary noises which disturb other
people. Now, am a member of no
anti-nOise league; in fact. any ordinary
sounds regard as pleasant, Il they
denote life and activity. But loud
calling In the house. Intentionally heavy
footsteps and the slamming about Of
drawers and heavy Objects-all Of these
are really inexcusable, and they mark
the noisy one down as inconsiderate
even to the point OF cruelty. Perhaps
this may seem a little too severe; but
think a moment Of the many times
YOU have been wakened in the morn

X that any reason why all the other
people in the world should be rested
