 When we read of co,s.. 4..- 2tians in foreign lands We notice that preee- dence is a thing determined by arbl- trary laws, and should We spend a season in Washington We would learn that there are certain conventional rules which govern society, and which cannot be violated by any one, from the lowest to the highest, says Good Housekeeping. Precedence is an an- omaly in the simple life of the ordi- nary home, yet it is an open question whether the cheerful contentment of the simplest household would not be increased if there were more formality in the daily intercourse of parents and children. Politeness would prevent much friction, for it Is inconsistent with politeness to squabble, to say dis agreeable things, to be brutally candid Perhaps we do not half consider how much politeness saves us from as we go about among our friends. In home conversation precedence as to right of way should be with the elders Father and mother, grown-up brothers and sisters, guests, should be allowed to express themselves and little people should not be suffered either to inter- rupt, or to carry on their talk in a high key so that the older persons can hardly hear themselves speak One finds in otherwise well-bred circles an amazing license accorded to the chil- jy, borp Iii ia with queries or with information about their own matters, nobody taking mo- tice that they are learning to trample on others by the practice of speaking first and speaking loudest. When mother comes into a room, Hubert and Harriet should see that she has a chair. 1 can think of nothing ruder than the figure of a girl of say 1G. 12 or 13 years, calmly enseonced in tho most comfortable chair in the house, while her mother, or her father for that matter, looks about in vain for as desirable a seat Boys are of course. taught to rise and give a seat to any lady who enters a room. also to rise and remain standing till woman is seated. but the rule is often in abey- ance to their own mothers and sisters You may enter it on your records as a rule without exception, that no one will ever be at ease in society who fails in the little daily amenities in ths nome. Only as we ara most careful to insist on perfect courtesy in our home life, can we expect that our chill dren shall appear to advantage when they step on the larger World-stage be- ~ra,d thA;r .,o--,r.
