SIMPLY TOO DREADFUL

Do you know the woman who is always saying that someone or is “too dreadful to know”? One meets quite a lot of them about. “1 saw Joan with the most dreudfullooking man, my dear,” or ‘ 1 can’t talk tc that terrible w .man in the pink hat; I’m sure she isn’t anyone at all.” This is the sort of remark she makes ten times a day and sc metimes she does quite a lot of harm. Some people, of course, are “too dreadful to know,” and that’s another matter altogether, hut our friend wil, say :t without any rhyme or reasou and it really gets a habit, in the end And Joan, to whom the remark i.» repeated. wonders if her new admirer (to whom she had so fai taken a fancy) really loes look “dreadful ’ after all. while the hotel guest who had been making friends with the oink-hatted lady hnmt-diaiely cuts the latter in the hall And isn’t it all silly? Our superior friend has only to meet Joan’s “terrible” friend herself to find out that he really is quite the most charming man. She has only to discover a mutual friend with Mrs. Pink Hat to s°e at once that the latter’s a “perfect d.-cr ” So don't be too easily influenced when this tiresome creature happens along in vour direction.
