Show NEIGIIttOKLIN'ESS Mow and again you'll hear some people boast of how many years they have lived next door to neighbors without exchanging a word. It is really nothing to boast of. There is usually something wrong with one or both neighbors if after a time they do not at least exchange a "J low d'ye do" when they meet. One family is usually as good as any other family in the street, so that it is far more comfortable to be friendly than to assume a head-in-air attitude which may result in the loss of a good deal of social enjoyment. Country folks are wiser and more natural in this matter; mat-ter; they know how they must depend upon their neighbors. P.ut in the cities many mistaken people hole themselves up in their dens like bears in winter time, and in their self-sufficiency never guess at how much they may be missimr. The Craftman's clubs are great proponents of this idea. |
