On Beauty Hunger.

In speaking of the beauty-hunger
of the poor, writer says in Harper's
Weekly, Settlement workers librari-
ans and teachers in the slums sec
constant evidence of this craving for
beauty which is at once the tragedy
and the hope of the slums since the
unsatisfied longing must be the
dynamic force to break the crust of
filth and ignorance. They find, on
the whole, in the children a ben;
toward the finer things, the simpler
lines, the more delicate tints. Whe-
Their it is due to a quickness of in
tuition and desire to please the
! lady or whether it springs from
something inherently right in the
instincts of these undeveloped mites
of humanity, it would be hard to say.
Yet it makes a foundation to work
on"
inexperienced dabblers in charity
who are really in earnest in their
effort to bring forth sunshine in little
lives or into the routine of the aged
and infirm and lonely, may CLEAN
from that suggestion something Ito
work on. Many people do not EN-
ploy their charitable impulses save
in cold-blooded business like man
ner that robs the giving of it's pleas
ure and, ofttimes, of it's purpose.
Others look upon all charity in the
practical and necessary light of
shoes, clothing and hats. My friend
Sue, whose walk in life leads past
many homes of unfortunate and
wretched people and who has thus
far found time to bring happiness to
many man and woman and child,
recognizes thoroughly the merit in
the method of the practical giver
but finds it impossible, herself to
deal directly with the poor in pre-
senting them with clothing and nee
essaries. She is unduly sensitive her.
self and feels that others, in less
happy circumstances, may have de-
veloped a morbid sensitiveness which
she is not privileged to deepen.
Therefore, her charity does not con-
Germ the poor alone. She gives of
flowers and sunny words, visits and
strolls through the park with the
girl who doesn't get out often enough.
In short, she gives not so much of
money or it's equivalents as Of her.

tail which gives catchet to the mod

made blouse is a delightful thing. It's
severity is of a coquettish sort 1t
may be simply tucked, but the mater

The big millinery shops display an

of the wealthy or the generous par
chases of the comfortably "well-ofi."
One needs not money nor much of
leisure to make herself useful to her
neighbor. Some are poor in worldly
wealth and some in friendships and
some in kith and kin. In some cap
acity or other, we are starved, har-
boring an appetite for the fleshpots
we desire but hungering in vain if
1t were not for people like Sue.
He who gives of himself need not
analyze himself for seeds of selfish
ness. Sometimes, I'm thinking, II
would be an act of charity to help
out young brother on his sums or to
help that awkward sister through

first of all, an attribute to the domes-
tic circle Like all good things,
charity should begin at home to sue

Social Amenities.

One of the first lessons in polite
ness taught child is that to whisper
is not good manners. Sometimes
among the younger girls in a School
room group of two or three vii. get
closely together and carry on an ami
mated conversation In whispers, TO
the evident envy and often discom-
fort of their companions, who are en-
cluded. Among the older girls the
habit of whispering is seldom notice
able, whereas such a thing is UNI
heard of among really grown up per-
sons of refinement and culture.
Could very sharp line of dis
tinction, however, be drawn between
the whispered conversation of two
children, who quite frankly take this
means of keeping others out OF their
talk, and the chatter of, say, two or
three girls or of whole group, about
a subject of which one member pres
ent is not interested because she
knows nothing of the persons or
events under discussion? To whisper
is rude, because it cannot fail TO
show to whoever else is present that
their absence, to state it mildly,
would not be regretted.
Why,then, is II not equally insulting
for two or three to converse and
laugh enthusiastically about some
M nj hnt t.
before another girl who is not par
ticipant in this fun and cannot fsil

out of place? 1t is a simple enough
matter for one girl 20 turn to the
outsider and in a kindly way give "A
brief description of the topic refer
red to, or to tell the names of the
person or persons being now per-
haps laughed about good naturally
but called by first name or special
nickname unknown to others IL is
not necessary to enter into lengthy
details, but if the subject is not one
which can be talked of generally it
should be reserved for another time
and place, when those who feel they
must discuss it can do so in private.
The height of i'll breeding is reach
ed however, when, in the presence
of one whose name has not been in
cluded among the invitations a girl
will even mention tn another party
which one of them has recently given
or is to give. Naturally, not every
one can be included, even for a dance
but neither the girl who is unlimited
nor the hostess could help feeling
most uncomfortable at any reference
to the entertainment And no lady
ever allows another a moment of
discomfort which could be avoided.
1t is always possible to draw, another
into the conversation, or at any rate
to make the outsider feel that she is
not being eXcluded.-Ex.
