.MIscELLAMEous.
Self consciousness.

= b
Ease and grace of manner are very
desirable qualifications for one who
must move shout in the world, but
they are not always easy OF attain
ment. Even The most graceful dan
Ger often appears i'll at ease in the
sober walks of life where dancing
steps are in little request. One would
suppose that of all persons, Garrfck
would have been able to, face a court
room with perfect .composure, and
give in his testimony with such a
wonderful, convincing power, that a
jury would. decide a case without
leaving their seats. But when he was
once subpenaed. though he had acted
for 80 years before crowded houses
with such ability, he became so con-
fused and perplexed that he was nm
ally sent from the witness box by the
judge as q man from whom no evi-
dence could lie obtained.
Hawthroue's awkwardness was "a
misery" to him all his life. He used
to walk miles and miles to get twftch-
ing out of his face and the shrugs out
of his shoulders. 1t was his septi-
ment that 'awkwardness has NO for
giveness. nm A4, SO -, !,
Archbishaop Whateiy had the sam SAME
battle to fight, until he finally. made
up his mind that he would bear the
torture no longer. 81 have tried my
very utmost" he ssaid 9and find
that must be awkfard asik besf all
my life, in spite of it'll will endeay-
or to think as little about it as the
bear does, afid make up my mind TO
endure what can't be cured" After
that determination he began to lose
his paiRful self consciousness, which
occasioned most of his faults of man
ners and his hearty goodwill for ali,
to which he always gave expression,
made more than amends for any want
Of grace j.
It is well to learn just the right
thing to do socially, under given cir
cumstanstances, and then your mind
will be at rest about those points.
You will not fear you are making a
mistake half the time, for much want
of self-possession arises from just
this source. Always remember that
the world is much more iutsnt, on Its
own affairs than on your appearance.
Absorb yourself. in. your duties or
pursuits moment by moment, and
you will have little time TO worry
avesc Z. clumsy pair Of hands or
style OF eyebrows that does not
please you. But, after all, there is
nothing like genuine goodness of
heart to make man acceptable eY-
erywhere, grace or no grace. The
one whois ready TO help in an emer-
gency, who is always reliable as steel,
who befriends the weak and OPP
pressed, and has a cheerful word
even in the dullest times, is the one
whose hand is grasped with hearth
ness, who is welcomed the most warm
ly, and who lives to a purpose.

still with crossed hand and closed ewes.
That day Pete's tools lay untouched
on the leather-bottomed bench in the
shoemaking shop, while the dead
woman lay in the narrow '.living''
room back of the shop waiting to be
cared for.
Pete put Sonny's nav away in
humblest fashion. Then he quietly led
the child back into the shop, and shut
the door on the neighbors inquiring
eyes
When Sonny piped out with little
quaver in his voice: ':Sonny ahnts
nuzzer dink. Sonny door," and then
looked around bewildered in the
silence for his mother: Pete reused
himself and said gently: Eyer maws
wen away, Sonny. Daddy 'ull git it fer
ye."
So daddy did all that was done for
Sonny.
In the hot summer days Pete smiled
and pegged busily away at the boots
and shoes.
Sonny as busily sat swinging his
small bare feet in the open doorway of
the little shop, or playing with scraps
of red leather Innings.
Pete fashioned Sonny with some
clumsy little aprons, and laced them
up the back, like his Shoes with bits
of leather strings
Among the neighbors there was a
voluble widow. She it was who had
been most voluble and officious in Of
fers OF assistance to Pete when s'Son-
ney's nav died.
But Pete Peculiar had told her gent
ly that he'd ruther do for Sonny's
nav himself"
The widow did not understand, SO
she had remarked spitefully to a neigh
Dor that ''she' d thought Pete Pecoolyur
nd up he'd more fixins an style to her
buryin' ennyhow."
She said furthermore that "she'd jest
like ter see eff he'd go on smilin' when
he he'd ter do ter Sonny
SO the widow held up her hands
when she saw Sonny's aprons.
To all of which Pete. pegging away
into the nights to pay for ''Sonny's
maw's" coffin that was without 'style''
or "hxins" to it, said not a word but
worked on,
Well. Sonny grew and grew till he
outgrew. among other things, sucking
his thumb and the small, leather
latched aprons. -:
One night Pete sat up later than
usual working at his bench. AS he
stitched away, the something in his
