QUITTING IN A HUFF
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

young man left his job a few weeks ago and he is very much put out about it.. It is the third time he has quit "in huff" and the third job he has held in a year.
 This last position he liked very much. But when the boss remon- strated with him about something he did, he replied in haste: "Ill quit.' And now he is repenting in leisure, hs is often the case.
 He has not been able to get just the kind of thing he wants to do and regrets very much his thoughtless action His father told me about have to learn his lessons, and he be- lteves that probably he will have a little more patience when he se cures his next position.
 Thhe other two times he thought he was very brave to be able Ito stand up for his rights" But now he realizes he bit off his nose to spite his face"
 While it is all very well to have courage and backbone, one may be somewhat foolhardy in thinking that you are displaying these two worthy qualities.
 While every human being wants so to live that he is not trampled upon or treated with disrespect, yet there is such a thing in common parlance as being too thin skin ned" You must be able to take things, and sometimes swallowing a little pride helps your position and makes you stronger in the end rather than showing too much so- called courage that brings disaster.
 Anyway it is bad business quitting in a huff.
 How much more dignified it would have been for him had he really given some consideration to the matter-to and sal, T don't think you are right and I am therefore not going to re- main, for l have thought things over" If he had done this there is no doubt that his boss would have thought this young man had some stamina and might have made amends to the satisfaction of the young man. Furthermore, it Is all ways wise if such things don't go right, if you want to give up your work, to leave it in such way that there is no bitterness or unkindness involved in passing.
 You never can tell when you will want to go back to ask a favor or perhaps return to a former job. One of the most successful men told me that the one thing which pleased him most in all his career was the fact that he could always go back to former job. having always quit under pleasant circumstances.
 While this cannot always be the case, it is certainly worth while to leave the situation in a respectful way and with dignity; but dignity is often mistaken for daring, and the daredevil always takes chances.
