been found, while snow storms have been nu-
mefous, necessitating almost continual scraping
| at great expense.
A NEW YORK PAPER recently published an
article entitled Living Up to Reggie" which
| shows the power of personal example. Reggie,
| Just nome from college, appeared at the dinner
! table every night in evening dress, to the con-
| sternation of his family, which had fallen into
sip shod habits in such matters. So potent was
| this silent influence that the other members of
the family, in their working clothes felt like
| savages, and gradually raised their standard,
! until the tone of the entire household was ele.
waited. The mother of the family says that
| with this habit of evening dress her sous have
| unconsciously adopted mole ceremonious and
| high-bred manner, and that this result amply
repays her for the trouble of putting on a be
| coming dress for dinner. They all laugh about
| the change in their mode of life, and call 1t
