Those who point out to us our own faults. Those who arrive for dinner when not expected. Those who have a hobby that they ride to death. .... Those who have a chronic desire to borrow money. Those who embarrass us with too much politeness. ; Those who always say, Ido so and so,” “ I think so and so,” Fussy people who have a large idea of their own importance. Those who talk too loudly. Those who do not talk loudly enough. Thoie who ask so many questions that they discover our ignorance. Those who neglect their own business to attend, to that of other people. Those who always take their troubles with then) apd leave their joys behind. Those who'always want to talk about things in which we are not interested. Those who never have anything to talk about but themselves and the weather. Those who agree with everything we say and never have any opinion of their own on any subject. And others. . . —An exchange.'
