CAN MANNERS BE ACQUIRED.

England is discussing the question,
"Can charming manners be taught?"
Most mothers hold, consciously or
unconsciously, one of two theories
about the requirement of manners by
their children.
One mother says, Manners are
only the outward sign of the inner
nature. If my daughter has a kind
heart and a well-trained mind she
will behave in a gentle, charming
fashion. I will teach her compass
sion, respect for age, unselfish zeal
for helping with the worlds work.
Her manners will take care of them
selves"
Another mother says, my girls
will never get on without conven-
tional manners. They shall be taught
from babyhood to emulate the speech
and bearing of ladies. They shall be
instructed in the proper behavior for
every occasion. They shall walk and
dance and write and speak with
graceful perfection.
Neither method produces alto
gether satisfactory results.
Unselfshness is truly the founda
ton of good manners, but not the
superstructure. Many conventional
restrictions have grown about social
relations. Some can be explained by
the demand Of kindness and some
cannot. Could child infer from
his desire to help others that he
should not eat with his knife? Many
offences against good taste interfere
in some way with the rights of others,
out 1lany others do not.
Still, no set of rules to produce a
polished lady will achieve a result
fit for the strain of life. The man
ners of the French boarding school
may adorn the ballroom, but are too
likely to fail at the breakfast table
or in the crowded car. The woman
of perfect manners must reinforce
her unselfshness by social rules, and
conventionality must be vitalized by
The warm desire for others pleasure.
| The best of life never comes natur-
ally" whether in manners or morals.
The secret Of charming manners
| is the desire for them. When the
mother wishes them for her daugh-
ter as much as she wishes the other
goods of the world, her daughter will
have them.-Youth' Companion.

settLed a serious question.

A poor working girl noted for her
prudence and practicality has lately
been pondering the problem of whether
to buy an umbrella, which she needs
very much, now the rainy season is
coming on, but doesn't at all want, or
an Angora kitten which she doesn't ex-
actly need, but wants so much that it
keeps her awake nights The other
day she settled it to her own satisfac-
ton by deciding on the kitten, which
she thinks is ever so much more prac-
teal than an umbrella, because you
can only use an umbrella when it is
raining, but a kitten you have with
you always Besides, you can borrow
an umbrella but nobody would lend an
Angora.-ToDeka State Journal

On many hats punches of waving
grasses take the place of aigrettes.
Some of the prettiest parasols are
of white linen with fancy colored
borders.
That lovely shade of linen known
as colonial buff will be very smart
this season.
Exquisitely tinted Irish dimities
will be used for the simplest little
lingerie waists.
Wings are a feature of the early
spring walking hats considered both
sensible and chic.
Any little old bit of dingy Oriental
brocade is turned into a warp, with
wide kimona sleeves.
Another millinery fancy is to ar
range ribbon loops to bangle down
over the hair in back.
White stockings with huge black
polka dots are the latest STARTERS.
Others have huge pear-shaped broche
patterns.
Waistcoats are giddily and giar-
ingly embroidered in gold threads
and colors. A block away they at
tract attention.
Silver belts have come back into
favor, so if you have one and have
not been wearing it Of late by all
means bring it out and exploit it, for
fIigree and open-work girdles are
decidedly the thing.
A charming little wrap was made
of a white crepe embroidered shawl,
edged with deep fringe. 1t is drawn
down on the shoulders in kimonalike
sleeves, and knotted across the front
with heavy silk cords and fringed
tassels.
A new idea in feather fans has been
recently introduced. The feathers
may be coque's feathers, pheasants,
birds Of gayer plumage, or the quiet
pigeon, and the sticks tortoise shell.
When the fan is closed the head Of
the bird ornaments the first stick,
and when open it is on one side.
Thosa who like such a use Of birSs
coQsier this a charming effect.

the heat becomes less oppressive in the
evening hours, and this fact, as we'll
as the manner of ones occupation
makes practical a type of dress more
formal than is encouraged by the con-
ditions of the day. You may permit
yourself some good evening dresses;
yet even these, for the most part,
should be capable of trip through
the wash But in choosing them, as in
all other choosing, do not forget this
curious fact: Pink in the tropics,

decoration, whether indoors or out,

PLACE Fer STAMP.

A young woman who went to the
Philadelphia central postof1ce the
other day with a sealed letter in one
hand and two cents in the other made
more than one attempt before she
lfourd the window where stamps were
sold. When she succeeded she laid
the letter and the money on the win

when the salesman called her back
with the remark: "Here is your
stamp" The girl looked puzzled for
a moment, but the situation dawned
on her at last, and she picked UP the
letter and stamp, saying, 4 must put

TEACHING THE GIRLS TO COOK.

TEACHING THE GIRLS TO COOK.
AS the girls grow older they are
initiated in the art of cooking; just
little things at first and always I'M
der the mothers supervision Any
task permitted to be accomplished
alone is considered a great privilege
AS the children grow older they real
ize also the benefit, to all the mem
bers of the household, of this syste-
matized housekeeping, and more fully
understand the responsibility of the
mother and the innumerable tasks
which are still left for her to per-
form. Thus mentally and physically
are children better off for d1ties put
upon them, provided they are not too
irksome nor lengthy. 1t is in after
wears that they will more fully real
ize the benefit Of this and will bless
the mother who with common sense
was not overindulgent, overwhelming
herself with work, but who early
taught them, while her guiding hand
was strong, though gentle, the les
sons which are so difficult to learn
later.
do not think there is a woman
living who ever regrets thsse early
lessons. nor one who is lot thor
oughly grateful for her APPRENTICE

HOT BATHS FOR ACUTE MANIA.

Philadelphia Adopts Advanced Meth
DDS for Treatment of Insane.
With the formal public opening OF
the new quarters for the insane at
Blockley, in West Philadelphia, one Of
the most advanced steps ever taken by
an American municipality in the treat
ment of such unfortunates will have
become an accomplished fact. Most
striking among the innovations adopt
ed is the new hydrotherapy plant, the
first one of the kind which has ever
been constructed in a Pennsylvania in
stitution and said to be the most COM
plete one in any institution in the
country.
The hydrotherapy plant is designed
primarily for the treatment of cases
of acute mania by a system of bathing
by which the body of the patient is
kept completely submerged in running
water for as long a time as is neces-
sary to effect cure. The plant in its
present form is composed of several
rooms, of which two are specially set
aside for the administration Of these
kinds of baths.
One of these is for male patients and
the other for women. Each one con-
tains at present four baths, with room
for four more In each bath a ham
mock is arranged on which the pa
TENTS body rests. Above are hot and
cold water faucets with thermometer
attached for gauging the temperature.
There is special appliance for empty
ing the tub instantly. The water Is
generally maintained at tempera-
ture Of 100 degrees and kept continu-
ally flowing.
Each patient remains in the ham
mock for a period varying from four
to eight hours at a time At the end
OF each period he is taken from the
bath and placed on a cot, rubbed down
and allowed to rest for half an hour.
He is then returned to his swinging
hammock and stays for hours more
immerged in the water.
The only purpose for which he is
taken from the bath is occasional rest,
his meals being given to him in the
bath The head, which rests on a
circular rubber cushion, is the only
portion of the body not submerged.
The length of time during which
the patient is kept in the bath varies
from several hours to several weeks.
The system is regarded as the most
effective yet known for the treatment
of cases of acute mania. It's value has
been thoroughly demonstrated by Ger
man alienists and it's use in regarded
as assuring the highest attainable per-
centage Of recoyeries.
Recently insane patients placed In
the hammocks become rapidly quiet
owing to the sedatiye effect Of the
baths and enjoy hours of peaceful
slumber with only the head and neck
projected above the flowing water.
In another part Of the hydrotherapy
plant is the douche room, where pa
tients receive hot and cold douches,
vapor and steam baths There is a.
specially constructed douche table, by
means of which hot and cold water are
administered at the temperature de-
sired, and by an ingenious device a
bell rings when the temperature de-
sired is attained
Near the douche room are hot air
packs in which the patients are sub
iected to the action of air at different
temperatures especially adapted to in
duce the highest degree of cutaneous
activity.-New York Herald.

Henry Campbell-Bannerman, was COR

Travelled in a private saloon" as
usual, but he did not have his tea
served there, and it was when he ven
turned from his lair to the dining car
that the suffra gists, Miss Kenney and
Miss Gawthorpe, nailed him. All IN
suspecting, he took a chair at a table
next theirs. They recognized him at
once, and glanced at each other hest
family. But they didn't hesitate long.
Though c0nventionality might he well
enough in its place, devotion tt their
cause demanded that they make the
most Of their golden opportunity Sc,
while &C. B., as they love to call him
in the United Kingdom, was slipping
his tea with his gravest air, the suf-
frage ties introduced themselves to
him AID proceeded to lombard him
with arguments in favor of woman
rights. Both young women are act
i've members of the Women's Social
and Political Union, an organization
that has commanded wide respect i'll
London town. They won from Sir
Henry expressions of commentator
for the educational work Of their
union, although he hazarded mild
criticism Of it's methods. Then they
tried to obtain from the Premier a
promise that a bill enfranchising
women would be introduced by the
Government in the current session,
and, failing in that, they rained rea-
sons on his devoted head until, the
train arriving at Cannes, he was able
to escape without departure from
his proyerbial politeness.- York
