by her friends, care you sick? You hardly said a
word tonight" "Why, no!' she replied, 81 am not
sick. l enjoyed the evening, but never talk when
others do it so much better than l."
She was perfectly honest about it, too So
many like her that it seems fair to put in this
word that every one at dinner table, without
exception, should contribute her his portion to
the general enjoyment of ALL
No one need be sponge or a piece of gauze
absorbent.
With little thought and for the sake of our
host, if no other, we should try to make social
occasions enjoyable all around the table or room.
In this particular instance, as is almost always
the case, the person this refers to had special
personal experiences she could easily have talked
about to the delight of the people generally and
particularly to those who sat next to her.
This Store is not all for One but it is all for
everybody to use enjoy and help to improve for the
general good.
