HOME TRAINING.

What 1t Means to tho Son When He Is
Launched Upon the world.
The youth who his launched upon the
world without the advantages Of a good
home-training is placed at sad dis
advantage to start with. He will often
give offenso without intending 1t, and
cause embarrassment when he means to
please. And the laws OF etiquette are
like the laws Of country-every one
is supposed to know them. and is pun
ished II he does anything to break
them. For this reason 1t is proper for
man to pay attention to acquiring
the art OF etiquette and in one way II
is more requisite for him than 1t is for
woman, for man can never remain
passive In society, but has n number
of active duties to perform. Neither
can he pick up SO many hints upon de-
meanor as n woman can: he has not
the feminine gift OF seeing without np-
pearing TO look. OF covering mistake
almost before It Is made. He has no
eye In the back of his head. neither
does he appear capable Of carrying on
a conversation whiIe taking In every
thing that is going on around him.
Under thcoe circumstances It Is plainly
necessary that man should study ETH
quctte: he cannot imbibe the manners
OF society unconsciously. SO his best
plan Is to ind out exactly what he has
to do. Grace should not be consciously
attempted. but when ease OF manner
Is once obtained, grace is likely to fol-
low.
