the book. These Partisan sets were
built with such astonishing fidelity
that they conveyed the illusion OF
age and realism, and TO such an ex-
tent that Il Is difficult TO believe that
they were not photographed a hundred

Jean Vatican, regarded by many as
the most beloved character in fiction,
is played by Gabriel Gabrio with a
depth of understanding that makes
the man Of burdens live and breathe.
The lovely cosette. the terrible ia

TWO BUDDHIST PRIESTS SALUTE EACH OTHER

TT be said in old Pagan days that when augurs
connected with the Pagan priesthood met they laughed
They supposed to read the future in the flight of
birds, the entrails of animals freshly killed, etc.
Having made up their minds common basis,
what would PROBABLY happen they pretended to read
enras bird flights and got paid for their pains They
laughed when they met-and wonder.
This picture shows two Buddhist priests in China that
tell congregations how the great Gauama allowed himself
to be eaten by the hungry gress that had milk for her
cubs how he to earth at intervals and
he born sat in the air unsupported and delivered
Their congregations pay for this information.
And the priests heads closely shaved dgnfed and
slow bow in this fashion when they meet each other Per
haps the idea that while bending they laugh
without the general public knowing it
This according to Buddhist gentlemen limit
of politeness. But is it really?
What is politeness?
Certainly, it isn't bowling and scrapng, or drawing in
Some Orientals dc that.
True polteness crawling in the dust from the
TO the throne customary all ASIA invent
ing preposterous compliments and saying Il kiss feet
in the Spanish manner
Real politeness which in human society is like first
class oil in the works machine consists respect for
others, combined with respect for YOURSELF.
SINCERITY instead of FoRMALITY, straight look in
the instead Of bowling and cringing sincere desire
to friendship and respect for others rights and
comfort That is politeness
Our forms of poeness survivas Of ancient times
We hold out the right hand to take the other right
hand This done originally to show that knife
concealed for stabbing.
We raise hats This done when wore helmets
Of metal leather covering their heads protect them
The helmet lifted that they might each other and
10 show that they did not mean to fight
The Indians rubbed That's TOO intimate
Women kiss each other, times the mouth That's
very bad for the health. Your own germs enough
without making collection.
In brief. politeness IS CONSIDERATION RESPECT AND
DESIRE TO RENDER SERVICE, Or have you better
definition?
