MUST HAVE NATURAL BEAUTY
Frequently Meadows In Parks, That
Might Be Mace A~ttractice,
Are Spoiled.

The designer Of a park should as
sign proper places for sundry things
for a variety Of purposes and must
meet many limitations and practical
requirements always with the beauty
OF the whole as well as of the parts
In mind as the prime consideration.
For instance, If a meadow is to be
provided as a prominent landscape
feature because of its usefulness for
~strolling and for field sports, 1t must
constantly be borne in mind that the
beauty Of a. meadow consists in its
breadth and simplicity, In its smooth.
continuous green sward and In its
naturalness. Many things are done to
a park meadow in direct contraven-
ton Of these obvious characteristics.
It's breadth is broken by conspicuous
drives and walks, its simplicity is
ruined by flower beds, its greensward
is injured by excessive trampink or
by shortcut paths being allowed to be
worn in it and its naturalness-i is de-
stroyed by grading 1t to a fairness not
characteristic Of the surrounding topo-
graphy or by harsh obvious artificial
turf terraces, or by planting regular
rows of trees along its borders.

Remark by No Means Complimentary

Representative Underwood, chair
mar of the ways and means commit
tee in congress, represents what is
known as a manufacturing district"
because it contains all the factories
and smelters In and about Birming-
ham, Ala. But he also has among his
constituents a lot Of farmers-of which
fact he is now painfully aware.
He drove out to a settlement in
Bibb county n afternoon to persuade
the farmers they ought to vote for
him. AS he stepped up to the porch
Of a little store an old mar rushed up
to him with the request:
please sign this paper. It's a peti-
ton to Congressman Underwood to
have a young lady postmistress here"
I'D be glad to sign It," said Under
wood politely; "but as I am not a resi-
dent of this community, my name
wouldn't help you"
"Oh, yes, 1t would" the old farmer
assured him. Were getting every
body to sign It, strangers and all.
Go ahead and put your name down!

except in its traditions. The old col
lege buildings have long since been
replaced by modern classrooms and
halls. and numerous endowments and
state subventions have added to the
number Of the professorships. This
old seat of learning was years ago
thrown open to women.
Among the famous men who stud
led at st. Andrews, a long list Of
whom is given in T. P.'s London
Weekly, were that prodigy of learning.

STREETS ALL TOO NARROW
Properly Laid Out, They Should BE
Pathways, Lined With Trees and
Masses of Shrubbery.

When shall we get down to a sensi.
BILE system of wide streets and ave-
nues and obtain parkways of sufficient
width SO that we may avoid straight
lines Of trees and have real parkways
filled with groups of trees and masses
OF s~hrubbery? Some of the streets of
towns and villages thickly planted to
tall, strict-growing trees, afford one
no broader views than ~obtainable in
a deep canyon. There is no question
but we plant street trees too thickly
and too often gain, after a lapse Of
years, a ~roofless tunnel Of green. Such
streets shut out lovely rural views,
mountain views or coastal outlooks
that should constitute the chief attrac.
ton to the district. Street planting,
like garden planting, should always be
done with the outlook in view, the dis.
tant prospect of earth, sky, mountain,
or sea. With wide parkways we may
have our walks in long, sweeping,
slight but graceful curves passing first
to the right and then to the left OF
trees clumps or shrubbery. They
would then be narrow parks or park.

AS THE TWIG IS BENT
IT Is EASY TO TEACH LITTLE
CHILD GOOD MANNERS.
While His Mind Is Plastic He Should
Be Trained In the Home In Proper
Behavior and Language.

Good manners, like charity, should
begin at home. Let me add that they
should begin with the little children,
while their minds are in a receptive,
plastic condition. With use, the
good manners, especially of speech,
grow toward a state Of perfection.
You do not need to have a g~overness
or a tutor for yeur child. You can be-
gin to train him yourself, being ARE
full to correct every bad tendency and
to encourage and praise every good
action.
Some little ones are painfully shy
in the presence of strangers. In
spire confidence in them and let them
gradually become accustomed to the
outsider. Do not force the shy child
to kiss a stranger or to talk to one
when you see that it is positive tor
ture. Wait till he is a little older.
In speech, begin right away with
the s of thank you" and please"
l know children with extremely linn
tied vocabularies who use these terms
correctly.
Insist that there be no Interrupt
tons when others are speaking. Give
a child his opportunity to be heard,
and when he asks a question for in

merely asking for the sake of asking.
and pays no attention to the reply.
punish him by refusing the next time
and telling him why you refuse.
When you call a child, do not per-
NIT it to say "What?" 1t is crude,
abrupt and lacks something which is
SO easily supplied that you should not
neglect the opportunity to do SC.
Very much better is, What did you
say, mothers" or Il did not hear,
father" Try this for the difference
If you doubt my word.
Children can show the required def

of respect shown by a servant to al

When an older person greets a lit.

he should not be met by a hanging
head and a sullen face, The little one
should reply, Every well, thank you"
It Is very easy to teach these little
things when the boy or girl is young.
A little girl when entering a room
should stand beside her mothers chair
until introduced. A little boy should
always rise when his elders enter a
room and remain standing until the
others are seated.
