Social Amenities for the School Girl
A. school girl who would lay the foun-
datlon for good manners and social sue
cess Will refrain froLl saying things 10
hurt another's feelings. 1t is not for an
instant thought that she deliberately
makes remark to wound friend or at.-
qualntance. but the temptation to say
something clever or witty at the EXPENSE
OF another is sometimes too strong TO be
overcome. In the qualification of seeing
the smile or hearing the laugh that fol-
lows the girl does not ALWAYS appreciate
what the ultimate effect is of her re-
mark, and she learns later with aston
lshment that people consider her either
sarcastic or altogether too clever. an i'm
preston that always works to The girls
harm. She becomes a person of whom
others are afraid, and her popularity di-
FINISHES accordingly.
Gentleness of speech as well as of
manner is one of the most attractive AT
tributes young girl may have. She is
neither insignificant nor colorless simply
because her tongue lacks edge If She
tries to see good in every one and to in
4
way the atmosphere takes on an ease
most grateful to all. Other girls may
tease and call her good" but in their Sc
cret hearts they are glad of her gentle
ness, and they leave her presence with
out fear of being torn to bits, metaphor
ically speaking, afterward
Making other people a subject of con-
versation is never good thing, however
great the temptation. If girl chooses
to let herself go to talking with init
mate friends. she will comment and
criticise, though the latter NAV have
been furthest from her thoughts. AS
no one is perfect and the manners of
the most punetilious may sometimes
lapse, there is never lack of opportunity
Tor tins, and in thinking it over later
it will be found that things better left
unsaid were uttered.
A girl will feel less inclined to in
dulge in this kind of thing if she re-
members that without doubt comments
very similar might be made upon her
self unless others were kind enough to
forbear.
1t is quite bad enough to discuss indi-
viduals in private, but far worse is it to
talk personalities when in public
place. The frequency with which girls
may be heard IN street cars, at the play,
and other like places, discussing the pri-
waite affairs of others, calling them by
name, is appalling. No end of gossip
that would not go beyond the set in
which it originates is spread by stran-
gers who have heard the individuals,
unknown to them except by name,
talked over in public. Two girls at the
opera one afternoon recently RECALLED the
curious about them with details of a
family quarrel, and as the persons
named are known all over this country
and in Europe all details were eagerly
absorbed by those around.
There are no lowering of their voices
while talking, though in justice to the
girls it is unlikely that they realized the
carrying pitch of tone that they had
adopted. The strong temptation of we'll
bred persons who heard was to shut the
girls in the nursery for week.
10 learn to talk quietly when in the
presence of entire strangers is a lesson
most necessary to acquire. 1t is not
that the subject discussed may be pri-
vate, but that loud voices attract atten-
ton, never a good thing to do. To speak
quietly and gently is in itself charming,
but to talk in public in such a way as
to excite the interest of those about is
an exhibition of bad manners due fire.
