~ anything unusual was going on
until a scream from the girl
reused him. Two men were arguing
with her.
There must be some mistake she
insisted. Il am Una Ormonde of De

manded. Clayton produced several

careless answer "If Miss Ormonde

The girl bowed her willingness. and
the two men filed sheepishly out Of

THE WELL LIKED NEIGHBOR.
Turning = Deaf Ear to Idle Gossip
Commands Respect.

Really 1t Is not so very difficult TO
1--we at peace with the woman next
door" IT just takes q little trying,
says the Chicago Tribune. The es-
sence Of the whole matter may be thus
summed up: Be just as friendly with
your neighbor that you earn her com
plete respect, but never become SO
friendly that familiarity creeps In.
Be most careful where gossip and
scandal are concerned and always
avoid giving an opinion about the char
acter Of an absent person.
Once a woman gets known In q dis
trict as a person opposed to SANDER
and gossip Of all sorts she will be left
severely alone. The gossip seeks out
the gossip, not her who abhors Cos
sip. And ii Is strange that the woman
who will not listen TO gossip and scan
lal is the one most respected In the
whole neighborhood. The gossip has a
sneaking admiration for the woman
Who sets her face against petty scan
dals and SO forth.
AS TO yislting-Well, it is advisable to
visit as little as possible. People don't
care for others running In and out Of
the homes at all hours. The too fire.
Quont visitor is dubbed q nuisance and
IS little appreciated. 1t is quite wrong
10 assume that q oma who does not
visit her neighbors frequently will be
looked on as a snob. She will not; her
u~elghbors will really be grateful.
BE ELUSIVE with no one, be friendly
with all. Command respect, but allow
Of absolutely no familiarity. If you
cannot say a good word then hold your
tongue. If You Il say good say it
and never be afraid TO defend a wor-
thy person whom you hear others con
demning.
