In the good old days when our father,
were boys they used to have good sized
families. There was scarcely . family in
any neighborhood in which there were moi
eight or ten children. Those were consid

being about the average; and what schools
there were in those days had from Is to lOt

The Charm of Manner

A London paper sneeringly lays down
q set of rules to govern person who
makes it the aim of life to be fas-
cinating. One of the rules is that the
person shall always be watchful and at
tentive to others, in things small and
great, and shall always endeavor to give
pleasure to others.
Really, now, is there anything SO very
bad about this that it deserves a sheer?
Is 1t not rather the plain duty of civil
lied human being to be courteous to his
fellow man, and as far as in him lies to
scatter joy and happiness around him at
all times?
This it is that forms the foundation
stone of all really fascinating manners.
Emerson says: 81 have seen manners
which gave the like impression with per-
sonal beauty, and, in memorable expe-
riences, made that superfuous and ugly"
Indeed, there is no charm like that of
manner-courteous, kindly, high bred
ways. Beneath this magic plain face
and dress vanish like clouds in sunshine.
There is no witchery, no beauty like it.
Best of all, this charm of manner which
gives "sweet peace in life" and joy to all
around, can be acquired by the poorest
and the lowliest. 1t gilds alike the beg
gar and the prince. 1t is the true secret,
and the whole secret. of personal mag
netism to let sweet good will to all the
world fill your heart and flow outward.
This power of fascination arises simply
from the sincere desire to be helpful to
others and the willingness to put ones
self out to do so.
