Good Manners Everywhere.

, We all know it's impossible to hold
! many friends unless our dispositions
| are sweet and our manners are good
Even the most fiippant and i'm
| pertinent chit of today doesn kld
! herself that she can get away with
! bad manners for very long. sooner
/ or later she's bound to get called for
them. and she'll have to mend her
| ways.
Realizing this, most of us are con-
! stantly striving to improve our gen
! eral behavior--we tone down our
voices. sweeten up our smiles, polish
our conversation.
We know there's no profit in
| frowns and rude answers and irri-
| tated grimaces. We'd die rather
than have the boy friend see us
| shrewish. We're pretty careful when
! hes about, NJ we're really anxious to
| hold him.
But unless we are improving our
manners ali the time everywhere,
we're bound to slip some daylight
| in front OF the very people we want
| 70 impress
Now, lots OF lis have taken the
pains to be nice in the office-fairly
agreeable at homeland charming in
! society. But. oh, so many of us
we march into q shop.
Somehow the grand-lady manner
leaves US. once we'rs standing before
a counter addressing the weary look
| ing salesgirl behind it,
Perhaps she's the only person
waiting on that section and We have
to waste five minutes of our pre-
ciouS time while she attends to some
| one else.
We'd gladly lavish 80 minutes on
| idle staring into shop windows. but
The impertinence Of this tiresome
saleSgirl drives us wild
We are in a dreadful state by the
time she gets around to us. Yes 2"
she asks. without much interest. You
| can't blame her. really She's been
taking care Of peoples wants since
early morning.

sample please. and hurry we tell
her. icily. She doesn't seem half
enough concerned over the fact that
We've had TO wait SO long.
That samples so small It'll he
hard to match" she assures us, and
we glover at her.
If she doesn't succeed in ma tching
il. we are more than likely to de-
mand others--many others.
we get out EarOS or lace. examine
it with the greatest interest, and
then. after * minutes exhaustive
shopping, we amhle off. telling the
salesgirl Well he back tomorrow.
If she asserts herself in any way
shows the slightest trace of spirit, we
snap and bark and put her in her
place with a few cutting words.
We sail out into the street full of
resentment and trouble. scowling and
irritable. Yet we feel were perfect
ladieS--that our manners are be
yond reproach.
None of us are really good eX-
amples of the we'll hammered gentle
women We secretly think ourselves.
unless we can carry our good man
ners with us wherever we go.
Deta cha BILE manners which can he
put off and tackled on for special
occasion are like the old IA Shioned
tyne of false teeth. They're apt to

company-and we shall find our
selves embarrassed until we can To-
cate them again.
