ADVICE ON SOCIAL
CUSTOMS

brother OF your cousin remove his hat
when he accosts you on the street. De-
mand that your kerchief be picked UP,
the door be opened and the little acts
that are so little that they dwindle to
ton, but nevertheless are the impor-
tant factors Of good breeding, be scru-
pulously rendered.
Little civilities are easily recognized
by even the unframed. Gentlemen
should remain standing at a dinner
table until the ladies are seated; young
people should be sure that older per-
sons have been well provided for at
table. public places or in any position
where comfort results from the
thoughts Of others.
Chairs should be pulled out as a
woman or an elderly person enters the
room. Trouble must be taken to pass

stances should man, woman or child
break through a line or group Of peo-
pie without begging a pardon.

such an uncommon occurrence that the

women, to smile. Therefore, he stop

Chronic Flushing

Dear Mrs Symes.
Would you kindly tell me Of some remedy
for chronic flushing OF the face? When I

due to indigestion, as am very careful

I fear that nothing can be done to
cure the habit. for the blood is always
more or less noticeable In the faces OF
persons who have thin skins. The
chronic flushing Is probably due to a
nervous temperament, which cannot be
overcome One comforting thought you
may have Is that as you grow older the
color will be lessened, and at a later
day you will feel glad that you have
such a touch Of beauty.
