RULES OF PoLITENEss.
Kindness Really at the Foundation Of
Them All and the Hall-Marlks
of Good Breeding.

When the rules of politeness arc
once properly mastered, it will be
found that they may be summed up
thus: Politeness is to do and say, the
kindest thing in the kindest way,
writes Hortense Provost.
1t seems strange when we remember
that ctvflfty does not cost anything.
Perhaps that is Why 1t is no longer
the fashion; this is an extravagant
age. and its motto may be stated as
Look out for yourself. and others will
take care OF themselves
How many appointments are broken;
just broken, without the word OF apol-
ogy or warning. For this there is
really not the least excuse in these
days OF telephones and special de-
livery stamps, to say nothing of mes
sengers.
And in the matter Of those little
notes of congratulation, or of condo
lence, or maybe of only remembrance.
how many spare the time and have
the patience to write them at exactly
the right moment Yet there is moth
ing 80 welcome. TO say nothing OF the
fact that one has taken such a big
step in the proper direction, in the
writing and sending such notes.
Passing through crowded thorough
fares, how seldom one hears the low
voiced Thank you;" or the pleasant
May / pass, please?" Such are the
hall-marks of good breeding. and II
the woman or man who forgets to use
them but knew. she or he has shown
its lack in a most unmistakable way.
In calling, again, there is a small
rule that should 6e known and prac-
ticed. Suppose a man calls and finds
some one already present; he should
at once strive to discover If that other
be there for some especial purpose,
