APOLOGY MEANS MUCH

THING IN THE WORLD.
Calls for Generosity In Man or Woman
Willing to Admit They Were in
the Wrong--Means Sense
of Justice.

An apology is the handsomest thing
in the world--and the manifest and
the womanliest.
/ have often heard men say they
never apologize. Sometimes have
heard women. Pitiful, indeed, It be-
comes to them A woman without
religion is no more repulsive to me
than one who never apologies.
An apology requires native humil-
fly Of which only great souls are
capable. 1t requires generosity to be
willing to humble yourself. 1t takes
faith In humanity to think your apol-
ogy win be accepted. You must have
a sense of justice to believe that you
owe It,
There is only one thing meaner than
a person who never apologies, and
that is person who will not accept
one.
From the standpoint of observation
| and inexperience, should say that
the supremest lack OF men ais lovers Isl
the inability to say, 4 am sorry, dear;

it until the hurt is entirely gone. You

in the correct method Of wrapping

into the shop and said: Madame, I
want half dozen eggs
The dairy woman required moment

Then she took six eggs from q basket,
wrapped them up in a bit of old news
