"a That Your Last Impression Is Good
1eu Don't ant Your Friends to Keep Unpleasant Memory
Of You Over Night. Over Sunday for Longer Time

out Of the way the rest of us can have
something Of our own
Everybody shrinks from voluntarily
creating an impression that would leave
that kind of memory.
But think how unpleasant It Is to
have people think of you in that way
even over night, or over Sunday.
uOW do you leave your Office on
L l Saturday afternoon:
What thought do you leave with
your friends when you bid them good
night? go,
Is it always one that you would like
them to have?
Do YOU remember reading the story
of The Road OF the Loving heart
in the Little Colonel books. when you
were a child:
That's what that was. a striving to
be always so kind and true and hon
est that It wouldn't make any differ
cnce what moment happened to be the
last.
There would always be a good i'm.
preston left; always long road
stretching out behind the traveller whose
heart was loving and whose intentions
were good.
1t isn't easy to keep that road
straight and open, and there's always
danger of becoming insincerely sweet
about it.
That's almost worse than being sim
cerely bad or selfish or weak.
TN ORDER to avoid It, the thing to
i do Is to think not Of this good i'm
preston that you want to make, but
of the character that will make it.
The impression is only an effect, not
a cause.
Keep your mind on the cause and
the effect will take care Of itself.

Does II Lack Respect?

Dear Cynthia--Please answer one or
two questions for me. Does the follow
ing letter treat the recipient of 1t with
respect: II it does not land il so ap-
pears to mel, Will you explain why
What does the exclamation point at the
end mean?
My dear Mr.
Your letter reached me several days
ago and was. indeed, very much OF a
surprise to me. | do appreciate your
very kind invitation. but feel that a
day. such as you suggest would be ac-
cepting entirely too much from you
am sorry to disappont you. but could
not under any circumstances think of
going. Will you not forget all about it,,
please.
Sunday afternoon. Cordially.
READER
The letter does not lack respect at
all Since Cynthia does not know what
the writer is refusing. she cannot
Judge It.
II it is in answer to an invitation to
spend day somewhere as the writer's 3
guest, it seems thoroughly proper
answer. Girls should not 60 away on
trips to Atlantic City or New York for
a day. Especially should they not allow
such trip to be paid for by man.
The exclamation point is used, should
say, to impGess that fact that she does
not want the Invitation. whatever 1t
was, repeated again.
