The absence alternative Is perhaps the more likely, Muscles long In : disuse shrink into shreds; the quality of politeness long neglected ceases to inspire a habit, Politeness is “refinement of manners.” Refinement stands for puri- fication and polish, and if the process has been properly attended to the man will be polite without thinking of It—or of the $10, The woman, also, The Foot-In-the-Alsle person, let us mentlon, !s one who has escaped the perfection of refining.
