Seldom does a caddy share the honor
of winning a tournament, but when Miss
Noblit was being showered with congrat-

proceedings and said. Don't forget lit

knew every foot Of the common and his
advice was Of greht value to me-" IL
was a tribute TO bright-eyed little fell

ly as did Miss Noblt.
Miss Noblit's resourcefulness at criti-
cal moments enabled her to hold her
more experienced opponent at all times
safe.
The players were square at the eigh-
teenth hole, and Miss Nobut only won
after an extra hole had been played.
Miss Noblit played the extra hole per-
fectly. with her first shot she lay well

One time I visited a certain family

BY comforts I mean the usual ordinary

Yet had she met me at the open door

GOOD BREEDING
WHAT IS IT? d?

w THAT is good breeding? This
M seems to be the all-impor-
Wv tant question to the socially
ambitious, the problem over
which they struggle when they do
not receive an invitation that they
desire and find themselves slighted by
some new-found acquaintance. What
is good breeding? Can it be ac-
quired? Is it really important? How
does one recognize it?
Is that not a number Of questions
about something that is so fanciful II
cannot be drawn by the artist and
cannot be even accurately described
by the most facile writer?
Good breeding may be acquired. I
think, although many people say that il
cannot. It is true that If one starts TO
learn all the intricacies Of this indefna-
bic essential. there may be occasions
when there will be some doubt about the
best course to pursue. But on all or
dinary occasions complete understand
ing Of the meaning of the term will be
sufficient to carry you through. I will
try to tell you of a few incidents that
viii give you some definite idea Of what
breeding really means. Letsme say first
that Il is composed of many virtues, and
that no one or two viii answer for the
whole. Almost every one possesses two
or even three Of the essential qualities,
but all are necessary to make up
breeding
In the first place there is "considera-
ton" This is perhaps. the most impor-
tant. for it is the ingredient of which all
the rest are mere accesso .ies. Then
there is generosity, hospitality. self-con-
trcl and gentleness. These are the alb
stract virtues. but besides one needs q

Another instance. A young girl-we
shall call her Mary-went to the house
Of friend OF hers CEeIlie). that they
both might go to an afternoon tea to-
gether. Mary wore a street gown. al
though of rather dressy style. while
Nellie was going to receive at the enter
tainment. and was. therefore, gOwned in
some light frock. When the time ap-
preached for the girls TO 80 20 the house

telephoned for a carriage. When II ar

poor breeding that needs a little expla-

the moment. and. therefore. her mother
violated all laws Of hospitality. She cid
