BOYS ESSAY ON POLITENESS
Delicious Phi1osophy In Regard to the
of (Sirys

Delicious Philosophy In Regard to the
Treatment of Girls.
Politeness is rather a difficult thing
especially when you are making a start,
says boy, quoted by London Tit-Bits.
Many people haven't got 1t. l don't
know why, unless 1t is the start. 1t Is
not polite to fight little boys except they
throw stones at you. Then you can run
after them and when you've caught
them, just dQ HUE bit =se them. that's
all. Remember that all little boys are
simpletons. or they wouldn't do it.
1t Is not the thing to make fun of a
little chap because he Is poorer than
you. Let him alone If you don't want to
play with him, for he is as good as you
except the clothes. When you are in
school, and a boy throws bit of bread
or anything at you over the desks, 1t is
not polite to put your tongue out at him,
or to twiddle your fingers In front Of
your nose. Just wait till after school,
and then warn him what you'll do next
time; or, If you find you are bound to hit
him. be pretty easy with him.
Some boys are very rude over their
meals. Don't keep on eating after you
are Tightening and you will be far more
happier. Never eat quickly, or you
might get bones In your throat. My
father knows of a boy who got killed
over his Sunday dinner. The greedy
boy was picking a rabbits head in q
hurry and swallowed one jaw of it; and
my father says he was choked to death
there and then. Be very polite over
your meals, especially when it's rabbits.
Since my father told me that have al
ways felt rather queer over a rabbit
dinner.
1t is not polite to leave victuals on
your plate, especially anything you
don't like. If you don't like turnips 1t
Is better to eat well into your turnips
first, while you are hungry, and you'll
eat the meat and potatoes easy enough
after.
Boys should always be polite to girls.
however vexing they may be. Girls are
not so strong as boys, their hair Is long
and their faces are prettier; SO you
should be gentle with them. II girl
scratches you on the cheek, or spits in
your face, don't punch her and don't
tell her mother. That would be mean.
