"Shut up, Chivers," snapped the
hall porter. "Ring the bell." He
glanced at the cobbler. "Second floor,"
he said, tersely, and resumed his
study of a newspaperwhich he had
been reading.
The representative of Mr. Jarvis
was carried up to the second floor
and the lift nan, having indicated at
which door he should knock, descend-

There was a short interval, and
then the door was opened by a man

"Is his excellency at home?" asked

"They will be ready by Monday?"
"If possible, your excellency."
"Otherwise, I shall not accept

In the outer room the courteous

was apparently no one else in the

to the lobby and openedthe door.

of the tragedy of family life.
Another small discourtesy which
became a source of serious dissension
was that of interrupted remarks. Each
came firmly to believe that neither
was allowed to finish a remark. At
first IVO bad prefaced our interrup-
tions with an "I beg your pardon,"
Later we would take the- conversa-
tional bit betweenourteeth without
any apology. We would even speak
in unison --causing our friends no end
of amusement and ne no end of irrita-
tion. Naturally the matter of inter-
rupting is bound up with egoism. So
is ell discourtesy. We think so much
of ourselves that we have no room in
our minds for the thuoghts of others.
This was brought home forcibly to
me one night when, hearing a radio
program which bored mo, I turned on
another station.
"You might have at least inquired
if I were enjoying the program before
turning it off," said my wife. As a
matter of tact I had'never thought of
it. I wouldn't dream of ewitehing off a
stranger's radio set, nor that of a
friend, without some apology or re-
ques:t for permission, But I wouldn't
grant my wife even the courtesy of a
casual inquiry as to her enjoyment of
the program. It was not that I wished
to be rude, but simply because I didn't
think. You cannot be polite without
thinking,
