Show To Be Agreeable. It requires tact and Judgment, as we all know, to decide when it is best to talk and when to listen. In the presence pres-ence of men and women of superror talents and accomplishments, or or wide experience of the world, we must be wary and not let our vanity run away wilh us. To such persons we may not be able to afford intellectual stimulus, and therefore it will be well to avoid giving giving our opinions at length, unless these are called for. With men and women of small talent and accomplishment we must also be on our guard, lest they find us didactic di-dactic and wearisome. It is with our intellectual equals, or with persons of a generous disposition who like to draw out the talents of others, that we feel the greatest freedom and attain at-tain the happiest results. Harper's Bazar. |
