LITERARY WORLD
THE HOME AS A SCHOOL OF GOOD
MANNERS.

Not long ago visited home where
such exceptionally good breeding pre-
vailed and such fine manners were
practiced by all members Of the family
that it made a great impression upon
me.
This home is the most remarkable
school of good manners, refinement
and culture generally l have ever been
In. The parents are bringing up their
children to practice their best man
ners on all occasions. They do not
know what company manners mean.
The boys have been taught to treat
their sisters with as much Difference as
though they were stranger guests. The
politeness, courtesy and consideration
which the members of this family
show toward one another are most re-
freshing and beautiful. Coarseness,
gruffness, lack of delicacy find no
place there.
Both boys and girls have been train
ed from infancy to make themselves
interesting and to entertain and try
to make others happy.
The entire family make it a rule to
dress before dinner in the evening,
just as they would if special COM
pany were expected.
Their table manners are especially
marked. At the table every one is sup
posed to be at his best, not to bring
any crouch, or a long or sad face to it.,
but to contribute his best thought. his
wittiest sayings to the conversation
Every member OF he family is expect
ed to do his best to make the meal a
really happy occasion. There is sort
of rivalry to see who can be the most
entertaining or contribute the spiciest
bits of conversation. There is no in
dication of dyspepsia in this family,
because every one is trained to laugh
and be happy, and laughter is a fatal
enemy of indigestion.
The etiquette of the table is also
strictly observed. Every member of
the family tries to do just the proper
thing and always to be mindful of 9TH
ers' rights. Kindness seems to DE
practised for the joy Of it, not for the
sake Of creating good impression on
friends or acquaintance. There is in
this home an air of peculiar refinement
| which is very charming. The children
are early. taught to greet callers and
guests cordially, heartily. in real
Southern. hospitable fashion. and to
make them feel that they are very well
come. They are taught to make ev-
cry one feel comfortable and at home.
so that there will be no sense of re-

MEN AND MARRIAGE.

4AGvU rB~Nu<1SSVGs
Marriage puts a man up against the
reality Of life.
And makes or mars him.
II he takes up the burden Of family
life and carries 1t like a man" it puts
new power into his life.
Ever see an oriental woman carry q
great jar Of water on her head? What
power and poise and grace In her
movements! The burden does it. It
makes her figure straight and her mo-
tons supple.
And so of the family load.
He who takes up the support Of a
family fnds that the doing Of it keeps
him straight and well poised.
Marriage has made shy man self
reliant, selfish man generous. an in
dolent man ambitious, q self conferred
man self sacrificing.
Marriage is the acid test.
It puts responsibility on q mans
shoulders, and responsibility, rightly
assumed, develops character.
Here IL a man who, unmarried, II
content to live in comparative comfort
without much exertion. He takes life
easy. He may have gifts. but is with
out ambition. The man marries, and
1t begins to dawn on him that increas-
ing demands make q larger income q
necessity.
The new demand Is dynamic.
The man bestirs himself. He works
hard. He increases his income. And
in doing 20 he discovers new powers
in himself. Marriage has developed
him.
The dependence Of a family upon
him wakes up every fiber in a manly
man. He is made stronger in every
way. And
Aside from the financial require
ments, the trials and troubles Of fam.
lily life bring out in him traits Of self
denial and long suffering and devotion
little suspected.
Especially does the birth Of children
in his family draw out and give ex-
preston to all that Is strongest and
best In a husband and father.
The bachelor is not 50.
He is apt to live selfish life. He Is
apt to be cold and cautious. He Is apt
to be heart calloused by the hardening
and REFRESHING OF what is best in his
nature.
Moral?
The moral Of these observations lies
in the appreciation Of them.

Interdependenee,

From the Detroit News
Crime, drunkenness, each in turn,
has been tracked back to poverty.
Now the doctors trace tuberculosis
there. It looks as If an economic
cleanup is needed for the health of
the race. Riches are not aprotection
against the Ills of economic poverty,
for the satin on the, back OF wealth
may have been worked over by con-
sumptive seamstress. We are SO in
terwoven with each other that the dan
ger Of one Is quickly communicated
and becomes the danger of all.
