anger. "And II I did not have any

But Jack Frost did not hear all
that she said, for he was running for

a temper that little creature has! She
would have made II so warm for. me,

been melted. I hope some one comes

DO 1T NOW

NNE Of the requirements Of good

II surely should have sent Jane that

II don't know what Mrs. Jones thinks
Of us. She asked US to dinner and

These statements are ones you hear
repeatedly from people who fall just
below par in the social life around
them. They have never been taught
the almost sacred obligation that rests
upon us to answer invitations, pay per-

dolence or congratulations with
promptness. And they have never ac-
quired the habit on their own account.
But they do not have any more time
to do other things just because of this
neglect. In fact, they spend as much
time regretting their omissions In this
regard as they would In attending to
them promptly.
One young woman, and very busy
young woman she is, has made II
a rule never to go to bed at night when
she had letter that called for an an
swer in her desk. This does not refer
to correspondence, bat to those letters
that require promptness In answ ering.

marks, "and now that have acquired
this habit I never have to dread an
overdue correspondence that Is always
such a bug-a-boo to every one."
