It is one of the Fine Arts to dress simply, be natural, unpresuming, and by gentle courtesies, sitting or standing, your words and actions shall be the blossoms of your spirit, giving happiness to everybody around you. No need to dissemble. Good manners are the art of making people easy and at home with each other. The good manners of this Store arc not wholly the gift of nature, but the overcoming of our own faults, by a prudent silence sometimes and a real interest in everybody about us. Signed Dee. SO, 1010.
