The time will come, no matter how many acquaintances you may have, when your heart will turn to that deeper re lationship, and when nothing can take the place of that voice you know and the touch of that hand that has clasped yours so many times. But it you have deliberately given up that friendship, can you expect to call it back to you at your will? Keep .Curb on Speech, Most of us say a great deal more than we mean. We have a way of ex aggerating things just for the sake of the picturesque. There is no reason why we should talk about our own af fairs and less reason for talking about our neighbors. It is a mighty safe rule in business, as In life itself, to say only the pleasant things and keep the unpleasant things in the background or better still, not to recognize them at all.
