I;uIcs of lItiuuctte.

In speaking of ones wardrobe it is
best not to mention the coat Of the stom
ach, if one has managed to retain tla,
useful covering; but it is occasionally re-
icrrcd to, even in the best society.
Upon parting with an acquaintance il
is etiquette to remark: 'Tm glad to have
met YOU" The meaning Of this cxprrs'
sion is that you are sla that the meeting
is terminated.
When person makes in your hearing
Il statement which you know to be false,
etiquette does not require you to tell him
50 to his face. All that is called for by
good breeding is to inform him that his
statement is Il tissue of fabrications, with
out even the semblancc of truth.
|. Among the haut ten it is the fashion
to take up Il wedge Of pie in ones hand
and convey 1t to the mouth, with the re-
mark that ''fingers were made before
knives and forks" but one runs the risk
of there being Il culturrless person at the
table who has the bad taste to suggest
that therefore It is time fingers had Il
rest. and that knives and forks be given
Il chance.
When Il young person is 50 infatuated
with his or her new clothes as to ask you
how you like them, reply in a rrbuking
tone that they look decent. This, of
course, will cause the young person to
hate you for life; but what does that sig
nifty, in view Of the lesson upon the van
ity of personal display your remark i'll
cucatcs?
When Il friend loans you an umbrella
in an emergency bepunctilious i'll return
ing it pronptIy-if it be in an advanced
stage Of dccwpitudc. This will generate
confidence in you in your friends
mind that next time he may lend you Al
bvund-nrw umbrella. In that case your
own common-scnsc will direct YOU how
to act.

tcnan to attend Il wedding in his shirt
sleeves, or f., lady to appear in her
Kitchen apron, no natter lnW becoming
to her size ianrics it to be.
II is not the custom in polite society
for young nlun to refer to his pAIerna'
ancestor as ''ra' or ''papa.' The usual
form is ',hr old gent although "soH-
crnor' is not inalniSsibIc.

GOOD ROADS PREDICTION.
The State Which Provides Improved High
ways will Achieve Prosperity.

The State Whicl, Provides Improved High
ways Will Achieve Prosperity.
The earnestncss with which the cause
of improved roads is being advocated
|all over the south shows that our broth
ers below Mason and DiXon's line are
fully alive to their Importance. In
Georgia a comprehensive scheme which
shall result in Il connected system OF
good highways is being urged, with the
employment of convicts as roadbuilders
as q leading feature of the plan.
The Savannah News argues that dur
ing the next quarter century the south
is destined to see the most remarkable
advances, and in them good highways
will play all important part. Electric
roads, bicycles and self propelling vehi-
clos will revolutionize travel, commu-
nication and transportation. Sections
now isolated will be put into comnuni-
cation with each other and with ship.
ping points, Good roads will prove one
of the most important adjuncts to the
era of good times, and the state which
first provides complete system of them
will be the first to achieve great pros
pprity
