MOTORING NOTES

PEARLS OF WISDOM. Consider the woman driver. She goeth like the wind. She changeth her mind like a butterfly. She marketh the new bonnet on “ that ” woman and the gown which adometh the shop window, the while she misseth the stop sign, and when she putteth out her hand the truth is not in it. The youthful driver seometh caution, but the wise man is ever careful. Yea, though the way seemeth clear, he watcheth out. . Beware the driver who cannot wait. He weaveth in and out of traffic. He causeth those who walk to run, and courtesy is not in him. The end of his flight and the reason for his haste remaineth mysteries. The careful driver is a joy and a comfort to all, but he who driveth recklessly leaveth evil thoughts behind him. He who pulleth away from the curb without looking backward inviteth

destruction. The wise man changeth not, but the fool becometh more foolish in his automobile. He who is most rude often oweth the most on his car. Drive as though thou wert a gentleman, and none will know otherwise. Though thy headlights gleam like twin suns, remember that thy tail light also beareth a message. It is better to enjoy thirty miles an hour than to ride sixty. As a man is, so he driveth his car. Beware of the strange man with the queer bicycle, who appeareth from nowhere and speaketh with authority. His words have the sting of a serpent, and his little book is poison. Verily, it is better to miss thy date than to arouse his anger. Suffer the little children to play in safety, though thy golf game be delayed ten minutes thereby. Consider the aged and infirm. They see not, neither do they hear; nor are their steps as light as thine.
