WHAT WELL BRED
PEOPLE WILL NOT Do.

Even the youngest children in the
household should have the great
pleasure OF opening the letters
addressed to them, and so be train
ed into a recognition of the sacred
and inviolable nature of personal
correspondence.
Practical jokes are rarely indulg-
ed in by persons OF nice perceptions,
and teasing passes the bounds of
good taste when it ceases to be a
matter of pure fun on all sides.
Inquisitiveness is always bad
form. Whom is your letter from?''
"What makes your eyes so red?"
Are interferences with ones rightful
privacy. A closed door should be
respected and give assurance of
seclusion.
The rough proverb, wash your
dirty linen at home" carries a
valuable truth. One who is so dis
loyal as TO repeat to an outsider,
however intimate, anything to the
discredit of the family deserves to
forfeit all family rights and privi-
leges.
Society requires that, whatever
their private relations, husband
and wife face the world as a unit,
harmonious and swith interests
Identical. Never, under any cir
cumstances, should they discuss
the peculiarities of one another in
the presence of a third person.
Personalities that are made to do
duty as family jokes are never fun
ny to the stranger.
All public display of affection
between husband and wife is in
equally bad taste and is always
regarded with suspicion.
Their behavior toward each other
sets an example that will in all
probability influence the house
holds OF which the children even
tualIy will be the heads.
An uncontrolled voice is always
unmannerly and undignifed.
Some persons always wish to
share their smalk ailments and
require an audience for their suf-
ferings. A french woman one ex-
claimed with comic pathos: Talk
of the patience of the Monsieur
Job. Any woman whose husband
has had a cold in his head is
entitled TO a like reputation.
A readiness to give up in little
things is the most tactful appeal
possible for a return of courtesey at
other times when the matter may
be of Importance to us.
1t is a high attainment in
politeness to allow others to be
mistaken. Let a trifiing misstate-
ment pass unnoticed where no
principle is involved, and when a
mistake is past remedy it is best to
let the subject drop. The argument
81 told you So character is always
quite superhuous.
Home happiness keeps the girls
from needless marriages and the
boys from many dangers, and as a
preservative of harmony mutual
courtesey and consideration are in
valuable.
The atmosphere which the parents
create in the home, by example.
becomes the rule for the children.
and to be content with anything
lower in latitude than paradise is
to live below ones privilege.-Ex-
change.
