Be Polite.


MANY children as they grow older are
obliged to learn the rules of politeness
as they would lesson. The conse-
quence is, when they appear in society
they are awkward and blupdering. On
the other hand, children who have been
accustomed to politeness at home, are
at their ease In the most polished cir
cles, and are saved that confusion and
bitter sef-condemnation which are sure
to follow any breach of the rules of
etiquette.
Some children, learning from their
parents, seem to consider politeness at
home affectation. Brothers who would
jump up with alacrity to give an easy
chair to some dashing miss of their ac-
quaintance. will appropriate it to them
selves when at home, without the
slightest apparent consciousness of the
presence of sister. or perhaps a
mother.
"My brother is as polite to me as
any one else when go out with him, !"
said girl proudly to companion.
