Allow me to say q few wor1q in

Just as good as girls Of to- day but
not one particle better. 1t is true
they worked in the fields and were
healthier, perhaps, but as to their
being trueg and better, | can't
think so. 1t is fact to be regret
ted that there are many so. called
fast and Flip" girls, but weren't
there some Of the same kind fiftv
years ago. Here in this country
we have both kinds, and think
there are some of both kinds in
every town and country, and that
there always have been and al
ways will be. We find children
raised by the best of parents, with
the best of care, who still go
astray. Then some are raised
without any thoughts, apparently
of what they may be when they
become men and women, and
some of these make our best cit
izens. 1t is apparent to be a care
ful observer that people are more
what they make themselves than
what their parents make them.
Why don't some of the Tablers

Good Manners.

Good manners are part of
good morals. We all acknowledge
the truth of the trite saying that
true politenoss comes from the
heart, and that 1T is only the out
ward and visible signs of that in
ward grace which makes us give
up in small things to the comfort
OF others. The polite person must
always be more popular and give
more pleasure to others than the
rough and boorish one. A little
courtesy costs nothing but little
thought, and 1t makes the wheels
OF society move vastly more
smoothly. We do not mean that
the form of good manners should
take the place of The reality, but
unseliishness can be cultivated
and with its growth naturally
comes pohteness.- .-Phjladelphia
