The Good Manners Column
 In Modern Journalism
sesseesssss sessssssss

This is verify an age of instruction, or advice, upon every subject under the sun. What with Mrs Harriet Hubbard Azer telling all the women how to get rid or every physical blemish, and Mrs. Jefferson Davis advising the country at large as to the proper position for ones spoon and fork at the table; whether one should sit on a chair or on the floor; eat with their fingers or use knife and fork; use nap kin or the end of the tablecloth; and few other such dots on good manners and good form, there threatens to be a surfeit or such things. The New York Journal must have a peculiar list of subscribers when it becomes necessary to instruct them through Mrs. Jefferson Davis-formerly Of Beauvoir Miss.-as to the simplest mat ters of etiquete and good manners. Stiil if young MT. Hearst will pay Mrs. Davis we'll for her knowledge of how respectable eat and generally deport themselves, no southerner will enter protest One will look anxiously for the second list of ques- tions and answers to appear in today's New York Journal and will expect them to be as diverting and remarkable as those of last Sundays issue. It is to be hoped that some semi-civilized specimen of humanity will write and interrogate Mrs. Davis as to chewing-gum etiquette and regulations If there should be any dearth of questions some social aspirant might inquire: "Is 1t good form to wear an evening coat during business hours on the street?" Or "Does girl use her fork with her right or left hand, or with both?"
 No one can fully estimate the good to accrue to the human race by correct an- swers to such logical inquiries-not, per- haps, in this section, for every one who essays to form a part of southern social life is familiar with the first principles of decent manners.
 These are usually taught in the nurseries of the south, and are instinctive with we'll bred humanity all over the world. Still that fact should not interfere with the in- terest of Mrs. Davis Manners Column to that other class of folks who. are un- familiar with the use of forks and nap kins. The Journal seems to be catering to the unknown social quantity.
