Show Tact In Reproof. Advice or reproof does more harm than good when it is so rudely or roughly given that It brings humiliation humilia-tion or indignation. If from your real affectionate regard for a relative you wish to point out to her or to him an error or correct a fault, do so as gently gent-ly and as cautlonsly as you know how, and do not try to correct mistakes or point out shortcomings too often, says tho Washington Star. Give your advice ad-vice in private and always give less advice than sweet, complimentary speeches. A compliment Is not less but more relished when it comes from a member of ono's family than when it Is a trlbuto won from a stranger, and these signs of appreciation that you give of somo dear ono's wit, wisdom wis-dom or beauty are llttlo homo truths that aro over affectionately remembered remem-bered and como over like gentle dews to refresh tho soeds of affection and loving kindness that are planted in your hearts. |
