Eleanor Clayton was rising in plau-

There is one shining exception to
the disfavor generally visited upon the

which they are held by Tiske. At
different times she has played nearly
every one that could boast theater,
and some that could not--and she has

thing she loves the continual change
that playing them brings, the. new

OPTIONAL PoLITENEss.
By Mrs. Frank Learned.

(Author of etiquette of New York
Today."D
Any one who has regard for charm
of manner will not forget the many lit

to those among whom we are thrown
continually in all sorts of situations in
life. These may be termed the cop

which may or may not be done, or said,
yet mean so much in kindly considera-
tion.
To be civil in offering a seat in one 3
pew in church to a stranger is nice
courtesy. If seats are free and one has
taken an end seat, it is best to move
on politely rather than to let people
step over uncomfortably. If one pre-.

is best to rise and move out and allow
others to pass and then resume the

ners to move along on seat and not
force others to push buy.
Certain civilities are always offered
by polite man. For instance, if, af.
ter call, lady is leaving house to
go to her carriage or motor, and it is
raining, a man of the family, who may
be at home, offers to hold an umbrella
over her head. She would say: "Don't
let me take you ont in the rain" OF
course, he would not be expected to
withdraw his politeness, but, in mere
spontaneous kindness, she would make
the remark, almost deprecating his Of

In ones family circle a man shows

is attentive at home in offering

for his mother; never failing in these
