Summary edit

Description
English: "Don't Carry Your Umbrella Like This"

This picture speaks for Itself. Don't go through a crowd merely with the Idea of setting through It Admit the other stragglers at least to the background of your consciousness. There are people hack of you as anxious as you are to reach their destination and who must keep moving because of the people behind them.

Perhaps you think you don't do this. Well, If, when you go through a crowd, your mind Is not completely centred for the time being upon where YOU are going and what YOU are going to do, you will never be able to carry an umbrella horizontally as the man In the picture Is doing. Of course. It may be true that you don't do this but there are a great

many people who do. If you don't believe it, watch and see for yourself.

"Ah!" you exclaim, "but not when little children are walking back of him!" The point Is, Friend Hustler, that he carries It that way without knowing who or what Is behind him.

The mother In the picture has to carry one baby and a big bundle of washing, and In spite of Johnny's efficient help that umbrella Is a constant menace to the walking baby and a constant anxiety to the handicapped mother.

The man In front would not think of carrying It that way If he was not so terribly busy thinking about what concerns himself. Some similar

obtuseness can probably be laid at the door of each one of us. What is yours?
