The popular character is but a poorish type, The greatest qualities are absolacely fatal tovat. Yet a certain stigwa is affixed to a man w he is described as not being a general favor. ite, as not being universally liked, as being a littl: aupopular, as not having many friends.

But, short of this, it is @ man’s daty to cultiyace ail sorts of social virtues and little social artifices.
