Good Manners.

Go manners is the most essential ele-
ment in good society, and should be cult.
va'ed by everybody. We arc judged 10 q
great extent by our behavior.
Gocd manners should he practical in
every day life, then when in society the,
would not be so many wide and ehamsfu
mistakes and so much awkwardns.s.
Some people arc born with beauty, and
in eariy life possess even graccfulness Of
movement. while others find it hard work 10
become accustomed TO such requirements.
Many think II they are polite TO certain
persons and in certain places, that is all
that IS required, but that is n sad mistake.
The law Of Good Manners REQUIRE, us to
be courteous TO all with whom We como in
contact, oil, young, rich and poor Who
can he called = gentleman or n lady who
does not treat tho poor with respect As we'll
as the rich 4?
When we have opportunity to lend a help
ing hand, or speak kind word 10 IN old
man or woman, we should take advantage Of
1t, and We know that they feel very thank
ful for our consideration aud our Heavenly
Father has promised a reward for even =
cup of cold water bestowed in kindness. u, CT

Now word especially to tho boys: d Us,
If you wish 10 be called "gon,c.l boys''

your hat frem your head, not simply touch
or motion toward it.
WAS gsing along the road not long AGO
and met q small boy who was very Tooriy
dressed, and whose hat was not the s,iffcst
i'll the world, but ere he passed me, his hat
was lif'ed gracefully from his head, and l
have often thought Of his g,n,l.manly
manners.
When you call upon your friends do not
always be mcddling with the nice things
IN the Parlor, having the ladies cringing at
every moveyou make, for fear you would
break something and do try TO know what
to do with your hands and feet. have seen
people that didn't believe really know in
what position to sit. They would 6rst cross
their legs. then uncross them, put their
hands in their pockets and the next minute
stretch them over the back Of the chair. IL
looks much better te sit erect, with your feet
and hands in their proper places.
We girls also have many unmsnuer,y
habits. We should guard oursslvc, ar.iust
the habit OF loud talking and lauc hing.
Let us think fr q moment how rude and i'll
bred 1t sounds in others, and we will decide
that 1t is one OF the siroDge,t marks Of vul-
gn'ity. Also, when other persons are talk
ing, to interrupt and speak before thcnn, is
one OF tn" mcs: ospeo, iui ana u ;e things

little work Of any kind OH the farms hiss
