The greatest graft in this world is
AVAILABILITY. If YOU arc easy to get along
with people will forgive you every offense
in the whole calendar OF sin, and II YOU
are pleasant TO have around, the whole
world constitutes itself your guardian
angel.
You may be as homely as the pro-
verbal mud fence. Nobody cares, IT only
you wear the smile that won't come of.
You may be as dull "a ditch water, with
out two ideas TO rub together in your
head. Your society will be eagerly
sought il you say the sort Of things to
people that make them feel good. You
may be lazy, and shiftless, and inefficient
Nobody cares whether you do anything
else or not, if you always rub their fur
the right way.
On the contrary, you may have every
virtue under the sun; your middle name
may be Efficiency, and you may work
yourself TO death for others without
ever getting credit, or gratitude, or
reward for your labor, if you arc irritable,
and irrascible, and have a personality
that rifles those with whom you come in
contact.
Look at the households that have
nagging saints at the heads Of them p!
We all know women who would check up
a hundred per cent perfect in any blue
ribbon wife contest. We all know women
who deny themselves everything posi-
bic in order 10 save their husbands
money; who burn themselves TO a crisp
cooking Just the things their families
like to cat; who sit up half the night
sewing so that their NAMES and
Sallies may have just as many furbelows
as richer girls have; whose houses are
cleaned and scrubbed until they are so
immaculate you might eat of the floors.
But these women are punches of
nerves. They are always fretting and
complaining. They are perpetually
finding fault with their children and
husbands. They consider it their sacred
duty TO wet-blanket every plan and
project. il is hanging crime and mis-
demeanor In their houses to be five
minutes late to meal, or move chair
or rumple q rug.
They never laugh; they are never
jolly. They never chum UP with then
families, and then they wonder why
their husbands and children's idea Of
having good time is to get away from
home, and why they are not appre
ciated, and loved.
And they think this is an ungrstefu
world because some other woman who i:
a slack housekeepcr, and buys ready
, , made clothes for her children is adoret
by her family for no other reason thar
that she is gentle, and affectionate, anC
soft-spoken and laughs and plays Will
