AS our manners improve, have our
children as good manners as our fa-
theirs or grandfathers had? We do not
mean by good manners what the new
er term social etiquette implies.
Among the so-called social sets we
find changing codes which direct the
form Of kandshaking, modes of ex-
preston in meeting people, repetition
of useless don't you knows" in con-
versation, ability to select from null
THORN knives, forks and spoons for
the multiform courses at luncheon and
dinner, says the Knoxville Journal and
Times. We can detect no purpose in
these flippant forms of fashion except
ing as the knowledge is a badge of
fellowship And there seems to be
much striving to get within the circle.
But these mannerisms are not good
manners. The essence of good man
ners is kindness and courtesy. They
extend below the surface deep into

lite is one who has transformed into

London, Nov 26.-No. serious fight

War May Be Avoided.
"The general opinion is" continues
the correspondent, that the questions
at issue can be settled without fight
ing. The Servians naturally are anx-
ious to secure an outlet to the sea
through their own territories, and if
Austria meets their wishes in rea-
sonable spirit the risk of war will be
easily avoided. 1t is declared that
Servia wishes to live in a spirit of
amity with Austria but that no nation
after a successful war can submit to
remain in condition of absolute tute-
lage to another power, however
friendly.
