SECRET OF cco ) HAMMERS.
Two Theories Of the Requirement
Unseiflshness and conventlonailty.

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. II my daughter
has kind heart and well trained
mind she wifi behave IN gentle.
charming fashion. will teach her
compassion, respect for age, unselfish
zeal for helping with the worlds
work. Her manners will take care OF
themselves" Another mother says,
my girls win never get on without
conventional manners They shall be
taught from babyhood ito emulate the
speech and bearing Of ladies. They
shall be instructed in the proper be-
havior for every occasion. They shall
walk and dance and write and speak
with graceful perfection" Neither
method. says the Youths Companion
produces altogether satisfactory, re
suits. Unselfshness is truly the
foundation Of good manners, but moi
the superstructure. Many convention
al restrictions have grown about so
cial relations. Some con be explained
by the demand Of kindness and some

Of all the churches with -four. corn,

also kept the country supplied with
venison from the herd of deer which

he saw n man emerge from the
smokehouse with side Of pork on
his shoulder. He recognized the In
