vF YOU wish TO make a social
success of any sort YOU really
4 have 10 learn how to pay conipli-
ments-not the silly. fulsome com
pliments that amount TO nothing
more nor less than "blarney," but
the little compliments so cleverly put
and so timely that they cannot but
please those to whom they are ad-
dressed. The first rule TO observe in
paying compliments is that they must
be based on the truth and they must
be sincere. When with your friends
put yourself in an appreciative mood,
not in critical mood. and then you
will naturally see things 10 admire
and your admiration viii be spon-
taneous.
Too often our compliments are ac-
companied by little back thrusts that
make the compliment worse than
none at all.

the honor recently to sit at friends
luncheon. In fact il would be more
ill-bred to make the first omission be-
cause the governors wife would
probably merely think you were
near-sighted or absent-minded while
the cook might be offended if you
failed to bow as you passed.
II is not merely a democratic thing
10 do to speak to your domestics
when you pass them. A duchess that
didn't have a democratic idea in her
head, provided that she were well
bred. wsuld do the same. II she
chanced TO pass in the street one
whom she knew in her employ or a
domestic whom she frequently saw
in the home of an acquaintance. So.
too, one bows to those with whom
one frequently does business, though
they may never have been introduced
and this applies as well TO the little
Greek on the corner who sells you
teI0HDS anu dppltS sts W tue u
TO whom you pay rent.
A well-bred woman bows many
more times day than the woman
who is not possessed of instructive
or acquired courtesy. The well-brec
woman knows that il is rude ever to
meet a bow or sign of recognition
without a return bow. The only time
! woman does not bow in return TO
/ the salutation of a passerby is whan
I she is quite sure that the hat that
/ has been doffed belongs 10 the kind
of male pedestrian--fort rare
! in our American cities-who salutes
young or attractive women simply to
annoy them.
In extremely bad taste is the prac-
/ tice of cutting" persons on the
street because of some real or sup
posed injury. Yet half the women
| in the land know at least one neigh
Dor and former acquaintance TO
whom they would not accord the bow
OF courtesy in the street. Perhaps il
all women knew that this was a sign
of very poor breeding they would not
wish to advertise their grievances
against their neighbors in this way.
