Like ones grown-up children, servants

MAKE THE BOYS COURTEOUS

One hears a great deal about the de-
cadence of good manners, especially
among the young men of the period, and
wonders oftentimes where the fault
lies. After studying the matter care
fully, one is reluctantly drawn to the
conclusion that it is the mother in most
cases who is ut fault
malls of Il charge of this kind on the part
of. mothers generally, but evidence is
against them, and they cannot deny that
they arc at least negligent in training
their boys to the old-time courtesy, which
every boy and man was expected to show
not only to women of all ages and condi-
tions, but to the elders of their own sex
as well.
There are some things which the
mother should not fail to remember o in
her intercourse with her own sons.
from the earliest time when their train
ing may begin. 1t is her remembering
and carrying ont such simple rules Of
conduct for herself that will have the
most potent Influence upon the whole fu-
ture behavior of her children.
She should never permit herself to for
get that if she treats her boy always as
a gentleman, she will go a great ways
toward making him one.
She should insist that he pay a proper
Difference to her, to his sisters and to
everyone with whom he comes in daily
contact, and that he should give the
proper respectful and courteous treat
ment to the domestics of the family.
She should never be so busy chat she
cannot listen to his condolences. In that
way she will keep them. No child will
seek sympathy from others if he can ret Of
it from the mother
She should set hi gh ideals for him, and
instlll into his mind distate for all
vulgarity or cOarseness. and she should
herself embody that ideal.
The mother who carries out these prin-
ciples will find them reflected in her bows.

STARVES AMID PLENTY.

According to woman who under
stands the woes of the debutante-per-
haps she has been one herself-their life
Is not one OF unalloyed pleasure. II am
dying of hunger" said one young wom-
an, plaintively. 1T seems absurd to saw
that | don't get enough to eat, but it's
strictly true. You see. this is how it is:
L go. to luncheon, probably, in the
morning and eat daintily of the good
things provided there for one isn't sup
posed to have an appetite like working
man; then IN the afternoon l appear at
tea. L am ravenously hungry by the
time l get there and I eat more cakes
and saited nuts and ices than are good
for me.
AT all events, they kill my appetite
successfully, and when dinner time comes
at home / can't eat the tempting sub
stantlals provided there. At night a re-
ception is the attraction, and when | am
dying for beefsteak with mushrooms
and potatoes-for by this time Pm
starved again-I am given dab of salad
or Il heaping saucer of ices, which girls
are supposed to like better than anything
on earth, by my escort, who takes good
care to get in corner and regale himself
with all the good things going.
m ashamed to show how hungry
am, put sometimes in the midst of great
quantities of dainties I'd give a small
fortune to be in our own dining room de-
vouring a big slice of bread and butter,
such as l used to eat in my childhood
days.
if this keeps up I'll be bag of bones
with ruined digestion when Lent
comes, and the debutante assumed a
m0urnful expression and gaZed fiXedly
out of the window.
