WHAT TO DO AND HOW
Court tesy to Home FoIkS-Good Man ners Needed in the Hone-Treat
 Loved Ones as Well as Outsiders.

Perhaps the most neglected feature in the whole curriculum of etiquette is the courtesy due our home folks.
 The saying that Familiarity breeds contempt is exemplified in too many American homes by the manners of the inmates-one toward another.
 The parents are largely responsible. When the children are small they take father and mother as the exam pie to follow, and what they see in the impressionab1e age is what they will copy as the correst line of con duct in later years.
 It therefore behaves father and mother to exert toward each other the same gracious courtesy and con sideration that marked their honey moon days
 When the growing son sees his ia ther retain his seat when mother en- ters the room, he will follow suit and and never think of rising and offering a chair to mother or sister.
 If father permits his wife to wait on him at table, seeing that he is served first and letting her own meal grow cold in order that the appetite of the head of the family may be quickly appeased, the boy will feel that he too, being a male animal, should be accorded the same defer ence.
 On the other hand, the wife who fails in graciously acknowledging by a word or smile the little courtesies of her husband is setting an example of bad manners and selfishness to the daughter, who will feel that it is only her due to be waited on by the oppo- site sex.
 A good plan is to keep the same set of manners for the home as prevail outside of it..
 Doing this there will be a pleasant CT spirit engendered as well as a code Of iT77Ta f n visitor with the ftrealneSs'' of the cor dial and affectionate relations exist ing between those whose daily asso- citation might lead them to become careless of the little points that count for so much in the routine of home life as we'll as in the broader social circles, where politeness is an arbi- trary virtue

 Things are not what they used to be-" sighed George R. Kline. When I was a youngster children spent their evenings at home. Perhaps if the parents were very Ienient they were allowed to romp until g o'clock, but curfew rang at that hour and taps were sounded as soon as a child could hustle up to the attic and crawl under cover. And they needed no curfew whistles to get them in the house. The curfew at my home consisted of a shingle. It didn't make a noise un- less us kids failed to be in when the clock struck the hour. People who lived in the good old days and the good old ways are nearly frantic at the way children carry on today. They are on the go all the time and there is something doing continually. They go to the skating rink, and come tip toeing in at Il and 12o'cIock. They go to the picture shows. They go to

 At this season of the year the neck begins to show the effect of high col- lars, dark furs and other mediums that give the skin a murky appear ance. Always extend the use of the cleansing cream used to keep the face smooth and clear to the neck and well up into the hair at the back To erad- icate discoloration caused by high or dark collars there is no remedy more effective than the common or garden variety of lemon juice. Select firm, juicy lemons and apply the juice to the skin after all traces of dust or grfme have been removed either with soap and water or with cleansing cream. The cucumber remedies are also used with much success, although one must be sure that they are as represented, else it will be case of wasting time and money.

On the contrary it had been given the most careful con- sideration two years ago in exhaustive hearings when every opportunity was afforded those who were opposed to be heard He told of the restrictions which had been placed around the ex- penditure of the monies and referred to the personnel of the able commits sion in charge of the work comprising, among others, the Governor of the State He said that the Senate two years ago passed the bill practically unanimously and there was less than 30 opposing votes in the House. He told of the visit made by the conn mission to other cities where harbor development of a like nature had been undertaken and named several emi- nent authorities who were enthusias- tic over the possibilities of New Lon don becoming a great tranScontinen- tai shipping centre.
 He said that the cities of New Ha- ven and Bridgeport have bills for state grants in and personally he hoped the state would look with fa- vor upon them. For himself he very the right direction It is a serious question What Connecticut is just waking up to other states have been doing consistently for years. He re- ferred to the amounts granted in Rhode Island and Massachusetts and of the work of harbor development in Canada.
 He said there should be a canal from tide water in Middletown to New Britain to allow the enterprising rnanufa cturers of that thriving city the benefits of cheaper freight rates.
 assachusetts, he said, sent a com mission abroad to investigate termi naIs and harbor development in the old world and shortly after the re- turn of the commission the state vot- ed S3 COG, 900 for work similar to that undertaken in New London by Con- necticut.
 Asked by Rep. Hall if he would agree not to come to Hartford later and ask for more money for the New London project he replied that he would make no such promise. He eaid if the benefits which he was cer- tain would come from this appropria- ton accrued and it was found that the entire state was to be benefited not only would he come again, but he ventured to say that MT. Hall him. self would come in behalf of the pro- iect. He pointed out that every cent of revenue from the rental of the ter uainas went to the state and the state was bound to be the gainer by tbe building of the terminals.
