s., visitor comes into or takes leave of
| the family circle and also if addressed
/ elsewhere by an older person, should
! they happen to be seated.
In France young girls are trained in
winsome, attractive manners. They
are careful to STAND aside to permit
their elders to pass first. They do not
sit while any one of them is standing
and their polite Difference in CONVEX
sation pays them pretty compliment.
1t was for a Frenchwoman that the
word charming was invented.
Children should not be forward in
claiming the attention of friends or
visitors when they are being greeted by
the elder members Of the family
neither should one hold out a reluctant
hand under PARENTAL coercion. Shy
ness is only less unattractive than for
wardness, and is due generally to
ignorance of what is expected of one.
Should child enter the room where
the mother is entertaining a visitor to
ask a question or favor. he or she
should stand by the mothers side,
without speaking, until addressed by
or presented to tn stranger. Then,
after asking permission to prefer the
request, it is made, and the child with
draws, after taking courteous leave of
the guest.
We all feel that it is humiliating to
have the attention of others directed to
our shortcomings, and children are not
less sensitive, but some mothers do not
seem to know that they are breaking
all the laws of good taste in correct
ing child before a guest. 1t is as an
noying to the visitor as it is cruel to
the child, making him awkward and
self-eonscioHs, if nothing worse. The
time is ill-chosen for child-training.
Any possibue conflict or clash of wills
between parent and child should be
anticipated in time, and the little one
tactfully withdrawn before any I'M
seemly friction becomes apparent to
the visitor.
Showing off" children is an uncon-
scious injustice TO them. Let a moth err
keep to herself, for private dedication,
the knowledge that her child is a
prodigy.
4 weIl-Trained Boy.
Let a boy be as free as air out of
doors, but in the house demand that he
behave like a gentleman. In medieval
times lads were made pages to courtly
danes for such training
1t is not, however, the province of
the entire family to bring him up.
| ''Nagging" is one OF the small foes to
the peace of a household but the
teaching of boys to be gentlemen at

A look should be sufficient to restrain

is unseemly for there to be any protest

At all times No should be ire

first be made. in strict justice to the

A wholesome self-restraint about an

Sir Thomas Upton is genuine
sportsman and he would make a good
American if his lot had been cast on
this side. In an article in Success for
October, Sir Thomas states that this
country so abounds in opportunities
and In undeveloped wealth that he
wonders why anyone cares to leave it.
a good many others have expressed
similar wonder. Our distinguished
visitor, however, will observe that no
man who is seeking opportunities
leaves America-they are the kind that
come here by the shipload. 1t is only
those who have successfully wooed
fortune. or whose ancestors had made
their pile" and who have no further
use for opportunity than to exploit
their wealth and use it as jimmy to
break into society" who turn their
backs on their country as too demo

If good manners are expected of
children, they must be treated courte-
ousIy. They should be taught that
consideration for others underlies gen.
uine courtesy. Mere manners may
treacherously desert one at critical mo-
ments but true politeness may be re-
lied upon.
To talk of children in their presence
makes them self-conscious, and robs
them OF the simplicity that is their
- gz4test charm - "kIgdom-
ties" Coleridge calls them.
The least shade of impertinence or
disrespect should be checked promptly
and sharply. American parents are not
considered good disciplinarians. An
.EngTishman once jestingly remarked,
I'm the States parents are sent to bed
for answering back"
Children who are not Obliged To he
polite to their elders and to one an
other will not suddenly become well
bred when strangers are present. They
should not take the most comfortable
seats or most advantageous positions,
but be observing and offer such little
attentions to their parents and elders,
and the boys to their sisters.
Such attentions should also be ac-
knowledged with courteous apprecia-
tion. A home may have the elegance
\ Df=high breeding, no matter how SIM
pie the surroundings. Children should
not be allowed to contradict each other,
but be early taught to use the same
courtesy in expressing differences of
opinion as do their elders-"l beg your
pardon" or Il am sure that you are
mistaken. It is all matter of habit;
but the outward form often compels
the inward feeling, They should be
made to understand, too, that their I'M
Eoicited opinions or advice offered to
their elders is a Tudeness that will
make them unpopular
It used 10 be the custom for children
TO say Yes. ma'am." No. sir" to
their elders, but that is now considered
to belong TO the courtesy due from ser
ants, and well-bred children say, Yes
mamma" NO, grandpa" and the tone
of polite Difference must underlie the
simple "Yes" and "No" when unaccom,
