Cultivate Gracefulness,

The chief distinction in society be-
tween the attentions of the thoro-
~ graceful gentlemen, and one who
simply knows the rules, is that the
former pays them without att acting
notice. A lady hardly realizes that
anything is done for her-she only
knows that the gentleman is agreea-
BILE.
Does the young man ask how be
shall cultivate this unconscious
gracefulness? Some men, the reader
says, have the gift by nature True
but with rare exceptions, nature de
cline to make her gift available with
out culture and care. There is but
one way to cultivate the ease OF which
we speak Never willingly allow an
opportunity to pay a graceful attcn-
ton pass without taking advantage
of it: Never, we say, not even with
the sister or mother, or most init
mate cousinly friend 1t is mistake
TO regard these things as too form
they are formal only when they
are awkward. There is not single
polite attention called for in society
,,sl;.I, :, s~--sra5+sasaaaasszsss----s-
appropriate at home. III
i sister drops a handkerchief, do not
give her an opportunity to pick it up
herself unless you wish to be couzg
strained and slightly awkward When
you are called upon to pick upa hand
6erchief in the drawing room Ii al
mother is getting into carriage, Of
fer her hand, even if it is purely a
matter of form.
Now are these attentions of young
men to their near relatives valuable
and called for only as matters of
practice Genuine poiteness demands
them at home as well as in society. 8
