II you doubt the value of courtesy.
Just put the power of courtesy to
test for single day. When you
have done this you will be ready to
admit that it has dynamic power.
Let us suppose that you are house
keeper, with many things to attend to
at the markets and shops. You de-
termine, come what may, that you
will be courteous. A dealer has sent
you poor goods. for which he has
made an exorbitant charge.
He declares that this is not true;
he is rough and determined.
you maintain an attitude of per-
feet courtesy. wait a little, are patient
patience is one of the essentials OF
courtesy-state that you hope he can
adjust the matter. as you would pre-
fer to have him continue to support
you.
AS rule you will gain your point
with the dealer. In any event you
will score within yourself more than
one point in the strength saved and
in self-respect maintained. More than
this, you will leave definite good with
each person with whom you come in
contact.
That each human being is sur
rounded by an .emanation which af-
fects those about them is true, since
it is sufficiently tangible to have been
photographed. What the sun is to
air courtesy is to this personal at

sand is astounding. As far as the eye
