The Right Thing
at the Right Time
When Not to Gesture
By MARY MARSHALL S. DUFFEE.

There is one point in common between
the manners of vTell-bfed English folk
and well-bred Americans and that is that
they do not gesture and gesticulatc.
A Freedman could not talk ten min
utes without Struggling the shoulders,
whereas by many EngIishmen this simple
gesture is considered rather vulgar IN
his own kind.
If all gesturing could be graceful. then
we Americans might not be prejudiced
against it; but it is only the very exeep-
tiOnal persons among us who can make
gesticulations gracefully.
Pointing is a form of festure that is
always ugly and usually perfectly unnec-
eSsary.
One form Of gesture is that Of handling
the person with whom you are talking
We all know women who strike the
arms Of the men-even mere acquain-
tances-with whom they are talking.
Sometimes they pick small particles Of
dust and thread from their sleeves as
they do so.
I have yet TO know the man who do
not dread the approach Of these paw
ing women, many of whom have adopted
the habit merely because they thought
it indicative OF case and comeraderie of
manner.
At table it is especially necessary that
we should avoid adding TO the eloquences
of our speech by gestures.
The man who, to illustrate his 70
marks, makes diagrams on the table with
his knife and fork is almost as amusing
as the man who beats time to the music
at a restaurant and points with his fork
between acknowledgement, 1920.

day?

Upon the shelf, with red tops, too;
Come, let me sell them now to you"
very WE'LL replied our little traveller
"If they fit me l will buy them, for mine

SO the old bootmaker got down the
boots and they fitted Puss without a
wrinkle. What is the price?" he asked,
gazing down at them with a grin. They
fl me well, but will the price?"
Make me an offer, Sir Cat" replied
the cobbler, land if you are as generous
as you are good looking they are yours"
This was too much for Puss. lie didn't
know what to say, so he took a gold
piece from his purse and the bootmaker
handed over the shoes.
Good luck, Sir Cat"' he cried as Puss
