THERE is SOMEBODY ELsi
One Thing the Average Man and WON.
an Ought Always to Keep

One thing that the average man. and
woman too, ought to remember is that
there is somebody else. 1t is not actual
and offensive conceit, it seems to be
simple self-absorption, forgetting that
there really is anybody else. We have
nothing to say against the condemna-
ton of careless and reckless drivers Of
automobiles. The offenders deserve it
all. But nobody knows how many
lives are spared every day by the care
full drivers.
1t is customary for foot passengers
to stup from the sidewalk to the high
way without thinking to look up and
down the street. Sometimes they do
look one way and keep on walking into
and across the street with eyes pointed
steadily that way. An automobile com,
ing from the other direction is of no
more interest than a comet said also to
be approaching. II it were not for the
obnoxious horns, there would be many
more killings than there are. Nobody
gets any credit for this. Instead, the
horrid horns are condemned as Il nui.
sance. This habit Of se~lf-ahsorption is
not limited to people who risk their
lives in stepping into the crowded
streets. On the regular sidewalk often
people turn sharp around without look
ing to see what or who is coming AID
it is they who get mad 1T the collision
they produce. When they do not urn
they often stop short. Bump follows

fact is quite different-at least for some OF
us. The fact is that the holiday meal
generally is too elaborate and is sur
rounded by so many anxieties on the part
Of the hostess that it is not thoroughly en-
joyed. There are SO many dishes that, IL
one eats only a little of each, he is sur
feited and leaves the table feeling more
like an inflated balloon than like a ra-
tional human being. 1t has been a great
meal, but there is generally more left than
has been eaten, and the waste from the
beautifully filled plates and small dishes
is enough to feed a hungry family: Ev-
erybody has made extraordinary effort
the hostess to please her guests and the
result Is too often an extraordinary fail
nre. simply because the good things were
too numerous.

giving eve, showing the housewife with

But in these days. the two articles of diet
would be only a beginning. In the prodi-
, gal present, we have SO much that we do
not enjoy anything to the full, It is only
on the days following a holiday. when
the dishes are fewer and we can eat
more nationally, hat we find the most
pleasure in the eating.
