GETTING :: G':ASTART
Being on Time
y BY ~
NATHANIEL C.FOWLER. JR.

but an appointment should not be
kept except at the hour specified.
If you have agreed to meet some
one other than the man you work
for, at, say 10 O'Clock, allow ample
time for getting there, though it
may bring you in front OF his Office
door before 10 o'clock: but don't
enter his Office until 10, for he
may have other duties, and may
not want to see you until the ap-
pointed hour.
If you are to meet some one out
of town, requiring a railroad ride,
select the train that probably will
bring you there at the time agreed
upon, or before, but take an earlier
one if there is any chance of the
other train being late. 1t is well
not to notify the party that you
will be there at any specified time.
Instead, write, telephone, or tele-
graph that you will take a train
due to arrive at, say, 10 o'clock,
and that you will Immediately come
to his office. If the train is late,
he will excuse you, and he can as
certain the delay by telephoning the
depot. If the train is very late, bet
ter telegraph him the cause of de-
lay and reputed time of arrival.
But arrive at the Office you work
in on time or ahead of time. Wait
for your employer; don't make him
wait for you.
If you are there" you will get
somewhere" some time. If you
are not there" you will get left
when your employer is considering
promotion and pay-raising.
Be on time, and you may succeed.
Be late, and you are sure to fail.

waved delicately a carved ivory fan, and
walked In white slippers. with gold heels
and buckles. Her hair was no longer
plain-rather the mass OF It lay In bur-
nished waves like a crown. Altogether she
was magnihcent-they felt it-so magnl-
fcent she made their prettiness seem
tame and pale. Joe stepped to her side,
caught her hand and kissed II openly,
just as his mother snid loudly: "Congrat-

nEING ahead of time may lose
ID a minute; being behind time
may spoil a day.
You can't catch up with the time
you have lost.
Being late is foolhardy, unbusi-
nesslike, disastrous, and dishonest.
If you are expected at a certain
time, or have agreed to be some
where at an hour specified, you are
dishonest to yourself and to the
other if you don't arrive on time.
Because you are expected, prepara-
tions are made for your arrival,
and delay injuries both you and the
party to be seen.
Promptness is a commodity, ne
gotiable in every market.
Hardness stands for failure, and
is a forerunner of disaster.
The tehind-time boy or man can't
be depended upon.
"Being-there" gives opportunity
for "getting-there."
Better be ahead of time, even at
great Inconvenience, than be a min
ute late.
Always prepare for emergencies;
don't take chances with time; time
will beat you if you let it.
Don't agree to meet. anybody at
a specified hour, unless you are
reasonably certain of arriving at
that hour, and you can't be sure
unless you have allowed plenty of
time for unavoidable or unexpect-
ed delay.
If you are expected at the Of
fee at 8 o'clock, and your train
is likely to be late, take an earlier
one. Arrival at your place of bust
ness ahead of time is an advantage,
