The Right Thing at the Right Time
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

tion with a courteous good morning" If you ask a favor of a tradesman or anyone with whom you do business, do not fail to let him know that you regard 1t as such.
 If you are not going to be able to pay your bills on the first of the month, do the courteous considerate thing about 1t. Go to the grocer, or butcher, or doctor, or dentist, and tell him that you find 1t impossible or in- convenient to do so. and ask him for the favor of extended credit. Do not simply neglect payment and then pre- tend when you do pay that 1t is sim ply matter of carelessness or for getfulness on your part.
 If a tradesman IS courteous enough to remember your name in doing busi- ness and addresses you by 1t, do not forget that 1t Is just as considerate If you remember his name likewise.
 Remember that 1t is just as incon- siderate to ask your grocer to make a special trip of his delivery wagon because you have carelessly forgotten to give your order till afternoon, as 1t Is to ask a neighbor to put herself out to do some favor> for you. If the grocer does accommodate you, then you should express your appreciation with just as much courtesy as though the transaction was one of a social sort instead of purely business.

THE WHITE FEATHER."

THIS phrase, which is now general ! ly used to express cowardfce or "chicken-heartedness on the part of him to whom 1t Is applied, originated in the days when gamecock fighting was a fashionable sport and The cocks were carefully bred. A gamecock of pare blood had universally dark plum age; but the cross-strains, which were not fighters, literally showed the white feaher'-white feathers appearing fp their plumage.
