Vanity. too. is an aid A girl who
prided herself upon always wearing
becoming gowns and hats was once
rebuked by friend for her quick
temper
Don't get in a temper over every
little annoyance" the friend said. at
Is so unbecoming- 1t quite spoils your
looks when You are IN such 8 mood"
The young woman had often been
told her temper was sin and a vice,
but she had never before been made to
feel that it was 'unbecoming," like
an ugly hat or limiting frock-
She set about the task of controlling
her temper, and succeeded admirably.
First. she controlled her speech. then
she controlled her appearance. and
after a time she found her feelings
were controlling themselves.
In one burst OF anger we exhaust
enough vitality to take US through
days OF hardship and deprivation. or
TO enable us to do some great deed OF
courage and heroism.
In little. continuous i'll tempers we
dissipate our strength as a leaking gas
main wastes its force, poisoning the
air with the element which should be
conserved for light and heat.
Serenity is power"
Let US all remember the great truth
contained IN those three words.
The noisy thunder does nothing. The
silent lightning strikes.
The greatest possible aid to the con-
troll of the temper is TO remember
that an exhibition Of anger is vul-
garity.
Most OF US would rather be vicious
than vulgar The goal OF serenity Is
far and high, and weary the climb
and many the fall; yet. up and on

When a man offers his seat in the
subway or surafce car and she taxes
It without a word of thanks, can you
blame him for feeling that his polite

Very often it happens that thor
oughly tired man offers his seat to a

Some women make the mistake OF

He is more tired but it emharrasses
him to have, his offer declined
It is better to accept It graciously.
Internationally 1t looks very bad to
see a young man sitting down while
a woman or an older man stands
In justice to all our young men I
must say that a woman holding a child
invariably finds a seat.
But the men do become absorbed In
their newspapers and allow other peo-
pie to stand and 1t reflects sadly on
the manners of Young America
There is no place where good man

plainly than in public conveyances.
The men need to cultivate chivalry, the
women need to cultivate graciousness,
and until they do we shall be accused
