1t is obligatory to reply to an invita-

Courtesy in CoDVersatic1
There are many small courtcsi"s to be
observed in conversation. These are
to look people in the face when speak
ing, not to let the glance or the attention
wander. not TO show mp1tcnce in listen
ing not TO interrupt, not 10 monopolize
the conversation, not to talk Of ones self,
put to try to be interested IN the inter-
csts Of others.
Practice makes perfect in all things,
and by practice one mas attain ease and
grace Of manners. Perfection in good
manners consists in forgetting ourselves,
in sacrificing Our own convenience, if
need be, and in maintaining self-control
in5tinctively, without thinking about it.
In the best manners there is no trace Of
self-consciousness, and ali Is kindness
and simplicity.
1t has been very beautifully said by no
less dignity than a late Archbishop Of
Canterbury, in a letter to a son At school,
Good manners give the last gr1ee and
finish to conduct They are, when per-
feet, the visible howe- and bloom Of in
ward excellence which has 50 taken pos
session OF the man as to pervadc his
ing and color the mnutest details of
his life They sweeten all social inter
course and contribute to human happi-
ness beyond all proportion to the effort
Of self-discipline which they cost. The
true man will desire to remember every
moment of his life the Scriptural pre-
cept, Be courteous.

Dressing Baked Fish
After the fish is stuffed, cut gashes
narrow strips of fat salt pork in the
gashes, and lay some on the Ash sheet
under the fish. Place the fish upright
in the pan by skewering the head one
way and the tail another. Dredge with
any water in the pan; when the -four is
brown haste often with the pork fat.
The fish is done when the flesh sepa-
rates easily from the bone. Remove it

Serving Cold
Cold fish may be made into delicious
luncheon dish or entree. The white
fish, like cod, haddock and halibut, are
particularly good tor Ibis purpose Flake
the fish, removing every particle of bone
and skin, and put into a scallop dish.

Tomato Marmalade
We are so accustomed to look upon the
humble little green tomato as fit only to
play the part of "supe" in the mixed
pickle-pot, that it is hard to associate it
with toothsome marmalade, but this
fruit-for the tomato is a berry-really
shines as a marmalade ingredient Peel
the tomatoes and cut in halves or quar-
ters. Add the sugar, allowing about
thirteen ounces for every pound of fruit,
and stand away over night In the
morning add one lemon, sliced, to every
three pounds of ingredient, and set to
cook over a slow fire. Boil two hours
or more, till the mass is thick and trans
parent The color will be an ugly
greenish-brown; therefore the wise cook
will add a little fruit coloring, as cochi-
neal, or some other of the dyes, to
give it a more appetizing appearance.

first until it is brown, lifting it up from
the Goals often that it may not burn.
The other side should be broiled just
enough to crisp the skin. The time the
fish should cook will vary with its thick
ness. There should be a clear fire, the
Goals glowing and red When the fish is
cooked the flesh will look white and
firm, and will flake easily, and sep
arate from the bone almost as soon as
touched, ever so lightly, with a fork
After the fish is cooked, slip it on a hot
platter, season it with butter, salt and
pepper, garniSh it with parsley and
slices of lemon, and it is ready TO serve
Baking Fish
The fish which are the oftenest used
for baking are cod, haddock bluefsh,
bass, shad that are too large to broil,
and small salmon. The fish should be

Rudeness Unpopular

Carlessness and selhshness lead rap
idly to absolute rudeness, and soon the
careless person ofends others and be-
comes unpopular.
1t may be that person would not in
tentionally do the wrong thing OF hurt
another's feelings Mistakes may be
made simply from not trying tc form a
habit of thinking OF others, and what
will please them, not from motives of
self-interest, but from the mere wish to
do little kindnesses, for to be consider
ate and unselfsh IS at the root Of true
courtesy.
A pleasant bow, a cordial greeting, a
friendly clasp Of the hand are not diff
cult things, and they go far toward pleas
ing yet how few people give either one
or the other

Placing People

One of the important small courtesies
is to cultivate memory for faces and
names, to be able to place" people, as
the saying rs, TO recall where one has
met them before, or with what occasion
or event they may be especially asso-
ciated and to be able to speak of some
thing personal in order to show interest
in their life and affairs.
Another point is to put others at ease
always. For instance, if one greets an
acquaintance whom one has not seen for
a long time, it is polite to say. Il hope
you remember me- am Mrs. A" This
reminder puts the other at ease, and
opens the way to conversation. It is not
courteous or well-bred to avoid men
tioning ones name while one sees that
an acquaintance is puzzled as to ones
identity.

National Municipal league, with head
quarters at Philadelphia:
"The electorate of Los Angeles GER
tainly has acquitted itself finely in
availing itself of a great opportunity
to move forward in the matter of an
effective administration of municipal
affairs. Had the result on December /
been other than it was | should have
been disappointed, but not discour-
aged. Being what it was, 1 feel that
your city has established a standard
to which other communities may
aspire.
our American municipal problem
must be worked out by with and
through the cooperation of the people.
We cannot acquire honest and efficient
government by inheritance, nor can we
expect to have it imposed upon us from
without. In so far as Los Angeles has.

siderable a victory it deserves special

make the Atlantic coast in q cOntinu-
Gus flight from Los Angeles. Prof Il.
S. c. Lowe, who holds the second best
record for distance with a balloon in
the United States, says that such a
flight is a4possibility, and that it can
be done with aerostats of the type Of
his Volant.
The second prize for balloons is $4,000
to any balloon landing east of the Mis-
sissippi river in a flight from Los An
geles and not winning the grand prize.
Another distance prize of $2500 is Of
fered to the first spherical balloon beat
ing the worlds distance record for
sphericals of 1893 miles made by Count
Henri de Ia Vaulx from Paris to Rus
sia in 1900.
Weather Conditions Will Count
Another prize of $25OO will be avail
able to any balloon which leaves the
aero field at Los Angeles and lands
within five miles of San Francisco.
Nearly a dozen eastern balloonists have
already travelled more than that dis
tance in this country. If a weather
condition permits, as was the case
when G. A. COey made his ascension
from Los Angeles early this year with
the Chicago, a balloon should be able
to take a current directly toward San
Francisco.
Any licensed pilot who wins the Lain
cup at the Los Angeles meet will re-
ceive $500 from the Aviation week COM
mittee.
A prize of $500 is also available to the
balloonist who will outdo the record Of
Capt. A. r. Mueller from Chutes park
to Ehrenberg, Ariz., with the Ferris
balloon, United States.
Additional prizes amounting to 5000
will be given the balloonist making tine
highest altitude, the longest distance,
the longest time in the air, including
second and third prizes for similar
achievements.
