The man who declared that the charm
that transcends all others in his eyes was
..just plain old agreeableness," might
have searched far and wide without fnd-
ing a better reply to the question put TO
him.
Most of us sooner or later fall under
the spell of the Agreeable Person and
have no desire to be divorced from the
affection.
We grow tired of the thing of beauty,
although It's supposed to be joy for
ey er, and brilliancy is a fearful strain on
the nerves, when it's too constant and
protracted and we are called upon to
play the part of its steady appreciation,
but just plain, simple, old, agreeableness
asks nothing. wants nothing, takes moth
Ing, and is the most comfortable trait
TO find In anybody. either man or woman.
An Agreeable Person comes to your
house and you never have any cause to
regret that she meets other of your
friends for whom she does not particular
ly care.
You know she is going to do the right
thing; the nice thing and you don't sit
lnNdTOiS. kNOWlHS IHdl d1tti-
ward she's going to tell you, just what
she thinks of each and all of them-peo-
pie of whom you. mayhap, are very fond.
No
The Agreeable Person helps you
through any situation, and sends you
and everybody else away satisfied with
his or her charm, and altogether gives
an excellent imitation herself of person
having a perfectly good time.
The Agreeable Person doesn't lift her
nose and arch her eye brows, and asks
who HIS people are, anyway or where
on the face of the earth did you find
HER?" Instead. the next time you meet
her she'll have something pleasant to say
a bout each man or woman. whether she
thinks IT deep down In her heart or not
or maybe, she'll say nothing, which
is Just as we'll.
The Agreeable Person takes 1t for grant
ed that since she is fond of you, that all
10 recommend them and that your affec-
ton for the other person Is justified.
The Agreeable Person above all else is
TOLERANT!
If she can't understand your likes and
disikes, your sympathies and your en-
thusiasms she is at least generous enough
to admit that there MUST be something
worth while in them. to give you such
sincere pleasure.
There Is no place in the world into
WHICH the Agreeable Person does not tit
Ike glove.
She's an ornament and a JOY to any
gathering.
