CHILDREN'S MANNERS.

A foreign guest now in Chicago ha:
opinion that the manners of American
children do not compare favorably
with the manners of European children
of like social grades. There was SOME
surprise at the statement.
While the guest transgressed
propriety in uttcring an unwelcome
truth at a social board, it was the
truth. Generally speaking. the
manners of American children VINO
ought to have been brought up more
gently are inferior to the manners of
European children.
In no well-regulated home of the old
world does child of even the poorest
parent sit or think of sitting while its
elders stand.
In no refined European home does
son or daughter fail to rise when
parents enter the room or hesitate. tc
offer father or mother, elder brother or
sister a chair or other courtesy
suggested by the circumstances.
If elders rise to leave the room
European children hold open the door
until after their departure. European
children of fine breeding always salute
their elders on entering or leaving Lhe
house. Difference to age and 70
woman, habitual loyalty and protection
for younger members of the family.
The American child practices selfish
ness from the time it is old enough to
be pampered until it is able to set out
in life for itself.
The conduct of American children in
public is convincing mirror of their
selfish uncouthness in private.
OF course, there are exceptions.
If there we're not we would be rightly
adjudged nation of barbarians.
The pretty habit of the youth kissing
the hands of elders Of both sexes pre-
walls in Europe. 1t may seem too
courtly for American ideas But it
serves to make youth in Europe seem
more gracious, more generous and
more engaging to American observers.
