Friendliness

By Cora Bartmas

FRIENDLINESS is not the most unprofitable grace to cultivate. It sometimes goes farther than expensive car-springs or elaborate menus or comfortable beds, in making travel a pleasant thing; and it can even be practised in the home, the office, and the church, and pay good profit on the amount invested.
You naturally feel drawn toward the friendly child, the one who answers pleasantly when you speak to him in passing. The way you feel concerning him, other people will feel concerning yourself, if you give out some of your natural warmth.
Where is there a person who does not care for friends? What would this world be without them? But in order to have friends, one must study the art of pleasing, he must be congenial and friendly.—Cora Bartmas.
