It regard for the convenience, the feelings,

cannot be learnt from a book. Pohteness and

out of'ones ngerbowl is gross breach OF etiquette
but it does not argue lack of politeness. An in

manners insofar as the proper use of the plates and
saucers and knives and forks which are placed be-

that thoughtful regard for those about him which is
the essence, thesecret, the whole in fact, of true

of civilization; the other is an inner quality OF
