Art Of Being Agreeable.

The true art of being agreeable is
to appear we'll pleased with all the
company, and rather to seem well en-
tertained with them than to give en-
tertainment to them. A maE thus dis
posed, perhaps, may not have much
learning, nor any wit: but If he have
common sense, or something friendly
In his behavior, It conciliates men more
than the brightest talents without this
disposition; and later, man Of such
turn is almost sure to be treated
with respect.
1t is true, indeed, that he should not
dissemble and flatter In company; but
man may be very agreeable, strictly
consistent with truth and sincerity, by
a prudent silence where he cannot con-
cur. and a pleasant assent where he
can.
Now and then you meet with per-
son SO exactly formed to please that
he will gain upon everyone that hears
or beholds him; this disposition is not
merely the gift of nature, but frequent
ly the effect of much knowledge of
the world and command over the
passions. Christian Science Monitor.

A Phenomenon. Indesdl

Four-year-old Elmer and his family
had just moved to the country, and
Alice in Wonderland hadn't anything
on Elmer In that land of green grass
and wonderful creatures.
of the first things to bid him
welcome was friendly old hen with
very new brood of "peeppeeps."
And no Buddhist at his shrine could
have been more assiduous in his de-
.votions than was that city-bred baby
to the strutting mother and her fluff
balls.
Now 1t happened that one day FL
mer's father observed a cat, unat-
tached and lanky, casting what he
took to be hungry eye at those same
chickens. Looking around for a
harmless but effective missile he dis
covered bag of soup beans right at
his hand, and thereby hangs this tale.
For a short time afterward little FL
mer ran into the house with his face
crimson with excitement.
"Oh, mammal" he shouted Look
at these little eggs l found In the
grass The peep-peeps laid them!"
And opening his hand, he disclosed
q half dozen soup beans.

buildings was designed In its interior
arrangement by woman who loved
sunlight. She accordingly sought to
stimulate It for the dark days which
must inevitably come in the years
calendar. Every room and hall was
tinted a soft, delicate yellow. yet there
was no monotony in the tone. as the
situation and plan Of each room
brought out different gradations of the
color.
A series of arches in the entrance
hall made fine tone effect. In the
ton story the rooms had skylights of
amber glass; a most beautiful tone re-
suited from these skylights. There
was always such cheerful tone in
me rooms, no matter how gray the
day. that good spirits prevailed there.
and the good health Of the family was
often attributed to the yellow tinted
walls and the amber glass skylights.
