WHAT is GOOD SOCIETY?

Our Young Folks: Somebody said
they would like to get into good
society. 1t started the question
What is good society?
Good society is that where toady-
ism is frowned down upon and the
scandal mongers are not admitted
Good society is that where one
earns ones title of gentlewoman
not only by birth, but by good man
ners.
Good society is that where men
are respectful, where off-color stor-
les are not told, and where the wo-
men do not smoke cigarettes.
Good society is that where to un-
ance than to understand courtesy in
all it's laws. and where there is a
disposition among the membership
to live by the Golden Rule.
Good society is that which is moi
personal in its talk, but which finds
sufficient topics of interest to dis
cuss without dilating on the sins OF
its neighbors.
Good society is that where the art
of welcoming the coming and speed
ing the parting guest is graciously
practiced.
Good society is, that where women
are not hastily judged, but once
they are believed to be untruthful
deceitful, and illbred, they are os.
TRACKED.
Good society is that which car
give a dinner without sending Q
notice of 1t to the newspapers; car
introduce daughter without hav.
ing her frocks made the subject OF
q paragraph, and which believes thai
the family and its happiness are Of
more Importance than being counted
among the Four Hundred.
Good society is that which, while
II recognizes the value of the con
ventional rules, Is yet sufficiently
strong to be guided occasionally by
hearts. and not of necessity to fol
low leader, as sheep do. n

1t Cured Hubby of His Cramps.

A funny little incident took place
not long since in a Manden, N. ID.
hotel, says an exchange. IL seems
that a gentleman and his wife were
stopping over night at the Blank
house, and some time during the
night the gentleman was taken with
terrible case of cramp collie. His
wife was frightened to death, but
knowing something must be done
quickly, she slipped on her wrapper
and went down to the dining room
where she emptied the contents OF
the mustard cruet into her handker-
chief and ran back up stairs. She
dived into her room Gas she
thought, and seeing man lying
on the bed she turned down the
covers and still more gently tucked
up his lingerie and slapped on the
plaster. No sooner had 1T come in
to contact with his epidermis than
the man arose and yelled out,
What in h--ll are you doing, wo-
mann" The lady gave glance at
his FACET was not the face of
her husband. A screech like that
of siren on an ocean liner split
the midnight air. There was a
sound of pattering feet and a swish
ing of draperies; a door slammed
and quiet again reigned. When the
lady got to her room she told her
husband of the mistake she had
made and it tickled him so that the
cramp took change of venue.
