MANNERS WAIT ON LEISURE
Modern Day Dlscourtesy Seemingly
the Result Of tho Universal
"Rush."

Tho young lady who described
burglar the other day as perfect
gentleman" wasn't very far wrong.
For burglars are among the few per-
sons who can afford the time to be
perfect gentlemen.
Gentle manners have had their high
est development In periods when time
was OF smallest Importance. The
elaborate code Of the French courts
was the substance Of ease. It was
bred with the care which only leisure
can provide. The gallantry Of the
ante-bellum South was as famous as
the ante-bellum hospitality. The one
cost nothing Of time as the other cost
nothing In effort. While people have
been struggling and humping and
showing In IL" and subway trains in
New York, the people who rode In the
crosstown horse cars-relics of an cas-
fer decade-have been practicing O
politeness which, by contrast 9TH the
boorisbness so painfully evident else
where, was touching and exquisite.
The patrons Of the horse cars were
those with time to spare.
The rush Of modern American life is
not an excuse for bad manners. But
1t is an explanation We cannot preach
economy Of time without forcing
economies in other things-and among
these are thoughtfulness and consider.

A man In Rangoon bought three
