She does ths right thing at ths right time; ; If she is a married woman she does not choose the hour before dinner when her husband Is tired and a little cross to ask a favor, She reads his mood and adapts herself to it. She. knows enough not Jo know too much. " ': Shs knows when demonstrations are welcome and when they are not. There Is a negative kind of tact which consists of never doing the wrong thing, but perfect tact Is both negatlva and positive In other words, never doing the wrong thing and always doing the right Tact la an Invaluable quality In a woman. It endeara her to both sexes and makea her a moat comfortable, com panionable person to live with. - It Is an almost Impossible thing to cultivate, hut kindliness of hesrt Is Its next-door neighbor, and that can be cul tivated. If you make It your aim to try not to hurt people's feelings you cannot go ver far wrong.
