Children. Courte,,e..


1t is significant to observe how some
men fail to know how to treat their
wives and sisters when they meet
them. 1t seems to them quite unneces-
sary TO lift their hats or to give their
nearest and dearest the courtesy they
would freely render to any woman out
side of the domestic circle This
should not be. and the sooner a revolu-
ton is accomplished the better The
ablest and most persuasive treatise IN
the etiquette of the home will not be
able by itself to work the change al
though it would be helpful toward that
end. What is needed is the right train
ing OF boys and girls. Courteous behay-
Tor should be enforced by parents in
the same way as other good qualities
are taught
tars OF the young in our day bears this
testimony: People complain Of the
way children behave and lay the blame
Of their behavior on the day school,
but III they would only make the chill
dren do at home as they are required
to do in school. matters would be diff
ferent. They laugh at the child when
he lifts his hat or says Please or
Thank you.' forgetting that others
are trying to make up for their neglect

stir up parents to a sense of the Inn

Much has been made about the at
tire of the Admiral that morning. A
popular monthly pictured him in a
long frock coat twining about his
legs. Another magazine FASTENED to
correct this by describing Admiral
Dewey as wearing shoulder straps. or
gold lace on his sleeves and three-inch
stripes on his trousers. Some of these
latter items are correct for the occa-
sion of full dress, but as a matter of
fact the Admiral mounts them once or
twice a year. At the battle of Manila
he wore white duck uniform and a
golf cap
His manner did not noticably
change all through the morning. He
showed the strain, perhaps. but very
slightly. 1t was however. more like
a stroll than one of the battles of his
