Lizzie s. Knight Gentry, n. C.-Dcar
Junior: l have been a silent ndmirer Of
| this column for quite a while. and now ]
venture TO join with you. I will take for
| my subject "Pohteness." PoutencSs is
! an element Of character 50 important that
| no one should feel willing TO live without
| il. Not all can he educated; not all can
| be rich, or great or distinguished but all
! can be polite But to he polite one must
! first he self-possesscd., Politeness is not
| so natural as "a cultivated disposition and
| habit. 1t IS the finest fruits of education;
| Il grows in fine natures ana is the choicest
| result of fine culture: it is not some cXter-
nal polish put on for an occasion. as
/ man puts on his best garments for special
! times but something worked into the
| character and becomes by training a part
| of the manner. 1t is impossible to use il
| as a mask over any impclite nature Po-
| likeness is rather something wrought IN
/ the character something given by train
! ing and Influence by personal endeavor
and by good society. ! will close. Would
! like few correspondents.
