THE MAN IN HIS HOME.
The Husband and Father strikes the Key
note for Right or Wrong Living.

The seclusion of a home gives to a
man a certain freedom and attendant
privileges which no other place in the
world affords. and it is right that it
should" writes Edward Box of The
Mar in His Home" in the July Ladies
Home Journal. but il is not right
that this freedom and those privileges
should be abused to the disadvantage
Of the wife. Too many men seem TO
have the idea that they can drop into
constant disconsOlate and churlish
moods at home with their wives which
in any other place and by any other
person would not be tolerated. 1t is
when a man is within the walls of his
home that he is himself. Then it is that
he should be at his best. When a man
gives the best that is within him to
those closest TO him, his home will be
the ideal place that he wishes il to be.
No man has a right to expect from his
wife what he on his part does not give
her. If he wants her sympathy he must
give her his consideration. If "A man
lacks the element of consideration he
should cultivate IL. and cultivate it not
for the benefit of mis- friends. but for
those in and of his home. Considera-
ton should begin at home; not in the
homes of friends, as it so often does
and ends there, too. The atmosphere
which a man crcates in his home by
example becomes the rule by which his
children live. The husband and father
strikes the keynote for right or wrong
living"

IN THE czAR's RICHEST CHURCH
Lillian Bell Describes the Famous Mass Il
Saint Isaac's i'm 1T. Petersburg.

I'D neil bfNfffbfN AnN 4 Allulls Mass { Y
Saint Isaac's i'm 1t. Petersburg.
The famous mass held on Christ
mas Eve in the Cathedral of Saint Isaac
was one of the most beautiful services
1 ever attended, writes Lillian Bell
from st. Petersburg. Russia, in the
July Ladies Home Journal. In the
first place, Saint Isaac's is the richest
church i'm all Russia. 1t has. too, the
most wonderful choir, for the czar
loves music, and wherever i'm all his
empire a beautiful voice is found. the
boy is brought to st. Petersburg and
educated by the state to enter the en-
peror's choir. When we entered The
church the service had been in progress
for five hours. That immense church
was packed to suffocation. In the
Greek church everyone stands, no MAJ
ter how long the service, for there are
no seats.
by degrees we worked our way to-
ward the space reserved for the diplo-
matte corps, where we were invited to
enter. Our wraps were taken ana
chairs were given to us. We found
ourselves On the platform with the
priest, just back of the choir. What
heavenly voices! What wonderful
voices. The bass holds on to the last
note, and the rumble and echo of IL
rolls through those vaulted domes k
the tones of an organ. The lonG-haired
priest, too, had a wonderfully resonant
voice for i%ntoning. He passed directly
by us in his gorgeous cloth of gold vest
ments, as he went out"

SHE WANTED FLOWERS.

Line somewhere.
\ certain southern congressman was
heard entertaining a company Of his
colleagues last week i'm the democratic
cloak room of the house with an ac-
count Of al unusual experience. Dur
ing the woman suffrage convention
said he, several aides from my district
were present. Early in the convention
one of them came to the capitol, called
at my committee room and requested
an interview, which was readily grant
ed, She stated that the woman suffrage
delegates were to have some sort Of a
public meeting, in which she was to
participate. and requested that I should

WHAT STAMPS THE GENTLEMAN.
Courtesy the Coin That Is Always Cur
rent in the Rest society.

In all questions of a young
man should always remember that
while p~oliteness is "A good trait to ac-
quire. courtesy is infinitely better, ="
writes Edward Bok on what Makes
a Gentleman. in the July Ladies' Home
Journal. "Politeness is manners. but
courtesy Is heart. Mingling in good So
ctety can give us that veneer which
the world calls a polish of manners,
and true politeness is not to be made
little Of nor sCuffcd at. Politeness is a
fine art, but is an art pure and simple.
even at its best. Infinitely better is the
cultivation Of that courtesy Of refine
ment which enters into the feelings Of
others and holds them sacred. What
we want our young men to have is
courtesy Of manner not regulated by
social code or professional censor. II
Is idle To say that courtesy is "A relic Of
o~ld-fashioned DAYS and is no longer
looked fer. Ii is as much the current
coin of good society as il ever was.
More than any other element or grace
in our lives, IL is instantly felt and rec
osnized, and has an unfailing influence.
II calls for respect as nothing else does
Courtesy Of manner and courtesy Of
speech are the gifts a young man
should cultivate"
