What people think of you usually de-
ponds on little things, but what people
think of you is no little thing.
Hence, son, incline your ear toward me,
and ! will give you some intimate hints;
they are little but you would do well
TO read, mark, learn. and inwardly digest
them.
AS TO clothes, wear just what is expect
ed of one in your circumstances. The
height of good dressing is not to be no.
ticed. Whatever tends to attract atten-
tion is on the way to vulgarty.
Cultivate cleanliness. Keep your cloth
ing clean. your skin clean, your nails
clean, your teeth clean.
Avoid marked perfumes. The best per-
fume in the world is the kind that sug-
gestS soap the worst, the kind that sug-
gests you forgot the soap. And eschew
ieweiry.
Choose your crowd. Don't 60 with
those who spend more than you can az
ford drink what you don't want to drink.
or talk the way you don't like. Don't
criticize. Just drop out.
Don't be ofiicious. Don't qualify in the
popular art of minding other peoples
business. Don't regulate.
BE gentle 'The stronger the gentler.
The more power you have, use it the
more carefully.
Don't bluff. If you are going to hit a
man. hit HIM and have done with it.
Don't threaten.
Don't hold a grudge. II the man is
mean. it's too great a compliment TO him
10 waste time and vitality hating him.
Train your voice Speak low When
YOU see you are losing your temper, if
you drop your voice about a third you
will find you will regain command of
yourself. Don't humble. Pronounce the
lconsonants. Finish your sentences.
Don't argue. Discuss. The difference
lis that in argument you are trying to
Guido the other fellow; in discussion you
are trying TO get at the truth.
BE courteous. Practise at home. Get
up when your wife enters the room. Be
polite to your baby Then it will come
easier when you want TO show off.
Learn how TO converse. One way is to
be interested in what the other person
is saying, instead of thinking, all the
time he is talking of what you are going
to say when he is done.
Don't talk about yourself. Don't talk
Of your diseases, your family. your
babies. your servants, your troubles,
your successes. Listen to Jones talk Of
his. That will make a hit with Jones.
And what do you care?
Don't interrupt Wait till the other
person runs down before you begin to
speak.
In general discussion be the last to
speak. Then you can utter the veriest
platitude and it will sound grand.
The easiest way to get reputation
for being deep is to keep still. Even a

nerisms, such as twisting your mouth,

When Men Refuse to

the last shilling and the last man, that is
dishonest and insincere,P says Bernard
Shaw, who further declares that peace
should be continually discussed by all bel
ligcrents and neutrals until it is finally
achieved.
As for terms, they will probably be
made according to the desires Of rulers,
whether potentates, parliaments or big
business, and not for the real good of
the people at large.
These things must come later.
Therefore, what are the PEOPLE
fighting for. and why are they hypno-
.ized by high sounding words and
phrases?
Germany, at least. has ceased TO bonn
bard our ears with the din Of Kultur.
She will be satisfied to pass that pre-
cious legacy along TO a very few, provid-
ing there is a free passage for her goods
to the orient and an outlet thru the
North sea.
The Allies still harp on Civilization,
tho were that consistent plea they
could easily begin by practicing on their
impovished, famine-ridden lands of India
and Ireland.

men has little excuse, for it can be seen,
with half an eye, that no crushing victory
can be obtained by either side.
Germany can continue to fight.
The Allies can continue TO fight
More ground can be made into huge
grave yards; more people can be bereft
more debts piled up, and what then?
Cessation from exhaustion; ruined
countries; ruinously depleted popua
tons; feeble offspring; the complete par
alyzing of all scientific, artistic, construc
tive effort-and then.
A Encouragement of the map of
Africa; "self government" so called, in
certain states, with benign overlordship
by those in power; some millions of in
demnity changing hands one way or the
other; and what is left of the people, who
have given all and gained nothing, may go
TO work and attempt to repair, in several
generations, the havoc that has been
wrought.
For it is not Civilization nor Kultur for
which the masses are fighting.
1t is not the readjustment of economic
conditions which will make life better and
happier for the people it is not the rights
of small nations-it is not an ideal of any
sort, nor is it for defense.
1t is now a determination on the one
hand to win, at whatever cost, for the
sake of winning, and determination on
the other hand to stand out for its own
terms
There is growing feeling in this coun-
try, that peace advances might have been
met with broader, better spirit, and
that the door which half opened to admit
the dawn of hope for hundreds and thous-
ands of lives, need not have been so ruth
lessly closed.
There is only one hope for the future !
and it does not lie in leagues, peace parties
nor disarmament schemes but in the !
breasts of men.
When men will refuse to fight, there
will be no more wars.

The Value of Second THOUGHT.

The other night a friend of ours
went to formal party, all duded up
for the occasion. He had blown him
self for new silk hat, in fact, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Presumably he had good time at
the party. When he left, he was jaun-
ty-so much so that he made literal
faux pas, which means a false STEP
He slipped on the sidewalk and sat
down ON that perfectly good silk hat
He was good and mad. The hat was
new, and fitted him perfectly. He
swore with great bitterness and for
several minutes But that did him no
good. 1t was after he had ceased to
curse that bright thought struck him.
He looked at the bum lid closely. He
smiled.
He sneaked back into the house he
had just left. laid the ruined chapeau
on a chair in the hall. took his own
hat from the peg where il was hang
fng-and left again.
