Other People’s
Property
OME people are very generous
‘ ———with things that do notbe—
long to themselveb. In fact
this habit of being liberal with
other people‘s possessions seems
to become a habit with some
people.
i There is the poor and improvi-
ldent relative who likes to spend
a week with relatives occasionally
when in need of n free boarding
place. He has never dispensed
hospitality himself because he has
never been provident enough to
possess a home of his own. But
he deceptii smilingsly every bit of
his relativeg's hospitality as if it
belonged to‘him. Another guest
comes to dinner. and it is the im-
provident relative who gets ahead
of his best. or hostess in urging
this guest to take second helplngs.
He is so generous in fact that he.
urges the host and hostess to take
more butter and to have a second
piece of pie. He urges guests to
come again and assures them that
they are always'welcome.
There are people who work in
iofiices who have this same liberal
attitude when it. comes to dis-
“peusing omce supplies bought by

i Answer.
iM able self—admiration. and
i most of us undoubtedly doc
iserve a good share of this admire-
tion. Take yourself. for instance.

what. your friends call real suc-
icess. You alone know what odds
tyou had against you, you alone
'know how often you faced discour-
agement and failure.
DST of as possess consider-
lwhat yoti have done.
They Don't Know
if you have not succeeded your
:friends may call you indolent or
iindlfferent or lacking in ambition:
'but then they don't know as you
do how persistently things have
ibeen against you. They don't know
ithe conditions at home that have
{worked against you, they don't
iknow how little opportunity you
ihave ever bad. But you do know
ithese things. so you continue to
hold a rather fair opinion of your-
self, even when the. admiration of
{others is lacking.
1 . isn't that. about the real situa~
ition?
| A certain amount of self-ad-
miration is a comfortable thing to
ipossess. But it is the part of wits-
dom and considerateness to keep
it to yourself.
There are certain men and
women in every community who
stand out in the estimation of
every one as great admirers of
.themselves. Now. the chances are
that they do not admire them-
selves a bit more than some other
people. but they haven't learned
the wisdom of keeping this to
themselves. They haven't ac-
quired sufficient insight into
human nature to realize that there
tion.
Don't Brag and Boast
Remember this—that the pretty
girl or beautiful woman adds
enormously to her reputation for
good lookvind charm if she never
refers to herself as possessing
these qualities. The popular girl
is all the more popular if she
never brags of her admirers or her
numerous proposals. The man
whom women naturally admire
often makes himself ridiculous
and loses the most worth-while of
this admiration if he yields to the
temptation to brag of his popu-
larfty.

Suppose you had never

berries and cream, a cantaloupe.

these luscious things appeared in

chocolate pie before you at deu-

So make the most of your oppor-
tunitfes to eat all the fruit. you
went. Don't fret because cents--
loupe and peaches are too tarpon-ti
sive now. but feast on the June
berries. In season all fruits are
reasonable—at least enough of
them are reasonable so that you
can have your fill of fruit three
times a day» without stretching
your pocketbook too widely.
And remember that fruit is.
usually. a most wholesome des-
sert. for grownups and children.
Children of course. should be
limited in eating some forms of
fruit. But the sugar found in fruit
is one of the best forms of sweet
that they can have.
‘Wellfl Gloved”
CENTURY ago fashionable
A people. or would-be full-I
tenable people. used the
French expression “bien flute"—
well-gloved-in a way that might
need some explanation to a young
man ‘or woman of the twentieth
century. It was aid that I. cer«
tain man was "bun unto". and~
those who heard understood that.
he was well dreued. well-men-
nered and cuitive d. A certain
woman was amiab e enough, but
not “bien goats". and the under-
standing was that she lacked in
fastidiousness and careful atten-
tion to her dress. . r
The old feeling was that you
could "tell a lady by the way she
was gloved." Apparently of all
the details of. dr gloves were
those most difllcu t‘to weer cor-
rectly. Your mere purvenue. your
dairy maid whose butcher hus-
band made a million could not
hope to acquire the .‘habit of wear-
ing her gloves to perfection. They
iwould wrinkle and she would look
awkward when wearing them. So
the man who put on gloves only
for very rare occasions would hold
his hands in strained attitudes.
whereas the man accustomed to
society would eventually become
accustomed to then'; and would
then be spoken of as "bien gante.”
Now we pay for Tiers attention
to whether one is gloved or not.
However, there is tho same preju-
dice as ever for gloves that show
holes and rips. In fact there is
less excuse now titan. ever before.
Gloves are worn teas often and
should therefore was r longer.
Not so many years ago white
gloves were looked upon as the
sign and symbol of elegance ,snd
every little working girl felt that
she must have one or two pairs
to put on when she went out in
the evening or for a walk on Sun-
day. White gloves are far less
in evidence now. bait the same
feeling rightly persitits that un-
less you can wear white gloves
that are absolutely .apotless you
had better wear none at all.
