WHAT TO CULTIVATE.
An unaffected, low, distinct, silver-toned voice.
The art of pleasing those around you, and seeming pleased with them and all they may do for you.
The charm of making little sacrifices quite naturally, as if of no account to yourself.

An erect carriage—that is, a sound body.
A good memory for faces, and facts connected with them—thus avoiding giving offence through not recognizing or bowing to people, or saying to them what had best been left unsaid.
