Haven't you heard men say they would
give half of almost anything to know what
women talked about and what they wrote to
each other? 1t is one Of the green goose say
ings by which man betrays unripe judg-
ment no matter what his age may be.
Women and men spring from the same stock,
have the same petty malice, ambition,
curiosity. Were you able to press your ear
against every doorpost in the city and hear
what went on within, week would weary
you with the boredom of its sameness and
you would only wonder why men and women
must always repeat similar ideas.
Ifyou share half dozen women's letters
with me to-day expect nothing that you
could not have written yourself

Mrs. G. wants hints for her Sunday school
talks on manners also. 1 trust the talks on
manners are not given in Sunday school, for
precious as manners may be morals are
scarcer and more priceless, and one hour q
week is little time to give young women
ideas Of truth speaking, faithfulness in lit
tie things, consideration for others, Justice
to rich women and poor women alike, to
friend and foe alike-the only ones on these
points which they will probably have in all
their lives.
First Principles Of Manners.
If some evening in the week the friend
and teacher gives talk on behavior she
may as well begin with this underbred habit
of biting the lips, and teach her class the
beginning Of wisdom in personal appearance,
which is to hold the mouth closed and firm
when not speaking. 1t is one OF the hardest
tasks in training to keep young peoples
mouths shut. Girls must be biting their
lips out Of nervousness, because they don't
know exactly what to do with themselves
not knowing, as they would say in school
girl dialect, how they give themselves away
BY doing so.
The greatest blemish on the manners Of
Mime. de Pom padour was this same trick Of
biting her lips when annoyed, by which
they early lost their color and their beauty.
The sensual fullness Of the lips in beauties
also partly dpe to the habit gross people
have of working and tasting their lips, their
mouths being the only parts Of their feshy
frames lively enough to exercise. Bella B..
