GOOD MANNERS AS IMPORTANT AS
GOOD MORALS.
A child may speak the truth and keep
the Sabbath, and yet insist upon wiping
his sticky fingers on our gowns or bawl-
ing in our ears. So, too, an adult may
keep the letter of the ten command
ments, and at the same time be most
disagreeable, uncomfortable companion.
Most of us can endure an encrOachment
upon our rights better than some lapse
of manner which jars upon our taste.
Often there is real agony when what
Doctor Holmes calls the filaments OF
taste are struck, which is not equaled by
pressure on the great nerves of right.
People who would not defraud their
fellOw-mortals of cent will rob them of
their peace of mind by some act of bad
taste and not care.-Woman's Home
