not having known how to protect
them.
At this point, my secretary re-
minds me that my own book says
plainly: Nothing but serious illness,
or accident, can excuse the breaking
of a dinner engagement" To this |
realize | should add: ''or the likeli-
hood of being carrier of illness"
Flu and grippe are serious illnesses,
and very contagious. And the present
day attitude toward germ-spreaders
is unexcusing. And so - the answer of
today should further say this:
Practical common sense in our con-
sderation for others is the one quail
ity that we exact. And among these
considerations, in modern courtesy,
those concerning time-wasting or
health-ris&ing are of first Importance.
Less and less, is tolerance shown the
guest who is habitually careless about
keeping Others waiting. Less and less,
too, do we amiably tolerate those who
have bad throats or colds, and who
make no effort whatsoever to avoid
transmitting their affliction to whom
ever they encounter.
Yesterdays rules Of etiquette -
which we're in great part, remember,
inherited from days before - could
not include this last situation, be-
cause little was understood, or be-
lieved, about the existence of germs.
Today, we are so alert on this subject
that most of the things we buy are
sealed tight in lovely transparent and
absolutely germproof containers.
Foods are labeled untouched by
human hands" And so, when we en-
counter someone who is just about as
germ-laden as he can possibly be, we

STRANGER THAN MAN

SCIENTISTS believe the tarpon may
be undergoing strange evolution.
An examination of their air bladders
has shown a large amount of lung
tissue, proving that the fish are not
entirely dependent upon their gills
for oxygen. This may be the reason
why they can change from salt to
fresh water and vice versa. The tarpon
is the only fish that is known to have
passed through the Canal, forty miles
or so of which is fresh water.
AN ALLIGATOR two feet in length is
at least fifteen years old, and one
twelve feet long may be anywhere
from seventy-fve to $50 years of
Evening star., 1941-02-23

this mans evident resentment, and
we discussed the situation at length
but could offer no plan for courtesy,
short of welcoming an invasion of
germs"
To this l must reply that, unhap-
PLY, the code of courtesy has not as
yet allowed us to say to grown per-
son: please don't breathe on me" or
'Please don't cough in my face" The
only thing that good manners permits
us to do is to make an excuse and
escape. If the men on the train had
staterooms of their own, each could
have taken refuge in his own. Even so,
one of them could not very well have
invited three others into his stateroom
to play cards and kept the fourth out,
had he taken it for granted he was well
come.
1t is true, however, that how is often
more important than tOhat one says
or does. Someone with charming
warmth of manner can explain:
please don't think me ridiculously
fussy; but a cold germ of importance
to no one else can bring on an attack
of sinus"

Nose Mosks Suggested

SOMEoNE did write me the other day
to ask what | thought of carrying
hospital nose mask around and put
ting it on. Though this would be
impossibly rude on the part of one
who has no cold, it would be a very
great politeness on the part of the one
who has. Especially in an office or
wherever else one comes into close
contact with others, such evidence of
carefulness could be very reassuring
i if ones job did not bring one into
contact with the public outside of his
own Office.
But to consider this subject from
the point of view of social etiquette:
A much more unhappy situation, than
that of an individual who is nervous
about himself, is that of hostess at
the arrival of guest who enters
sneezing and shifting and coughing!
Yet she can't be unappreciatively rude
to her friend, who is obviously i'll and
trying her best to live up to what she
considers one of the exactions of cour-
tesy.
What the helpless hostess says is:
"Oh, but darling, what terrible cold
you have! You ought to be in bed"
And her darling friend answers,
a.. a-choo (snuffle) don't know
how ever got here, except couldn't
be so unfair as to let you DOWN.
Evening star., 1941-02-23

And so ingrained are the conven-
tions of courtesy, that beyond saying:
81 wish you had stayed in bed - you
are much too sick to be up" there is
nothing the polite hostess has been
permitted to do except let her fiuey
guest sit wherever she had been placed
at table, and for her own part to feel
thoroughly upset by the thought that
one, or both, of those seated beside
her are likely to come down with the
flu, and that it will be her fault for

ing not only unpleasant
but dangerous. He made
no effort to avoid breath
ing directly in their
faces, and, apparently,
he had never heard of
the courtesy of coughing
behind his handkerchief
or even his hand.
Each time we played
cards, this gentleman in
sisted on cutting in. If
he cut out it was even
worse, for he then drew
up a camp chair to look
on. This brought him so
close that one gentleman
finally told him that he
would rather he didn't
hang around him be-
cause he was susceptible
to colds. This may not
have been according to
etiquette but it was eff
fective, and we were
grateful to him, since it
induced the man with
the cold to withdraw
from us for the remain
