WORRY ABOUT MANNERS AND SPEECH Many people are desperately worried about their manners.

One has but to read the letters written to the "Answers to Correspondents" departments of the newspapers to see how much worry this subject of manners causes.

This springs, undoubtedly, from a variety of causes.
People brought up in the country, removing to the city, find the conditions of life very different from those to which they have been accustomed, and they are _uncertain_ as to what city people regard as the right and proper things to do.

Where one, perforce, must act, uncertainty is always irritating or worrying, and, because of this uncertainty, many people worry even before the time comes to act.

Now, if their worry would take a practical and useful turn--or, perhaps, I had better state it in another way, viz., that if they would spend the same time in deciding what their course of action should be--there would be an end put to the worry.
We have all seen such people.
