PoIiteness.
(By George Fitch. )

\Dy 1COA SoC Y IICll,J
 Politeness is the lubricant which enables human beings to mingle with out knocking the corners off of each other
 It is the piano finish of conversa- tion. Politeness isn't state of mind, but of words. Many a man can be. perfectly polite and agreeable to another while he s longing to leap upon him with hoarse growl and bite off his ear.
 Politeness is the art of expressing what you ought to feel. When man feels politeness and expresses it at the same time, he is perfect gentleman. When he only expresses it he is good imitation Sometimes the imita- tions sell for higher prices than the real things, in the marriage market.
 With the aid of politeness a man may make his way pleasantly through cross and perspiring world, getting what he wants and having his own way. Politeness is d greater asset than financial ability The financier has to work for his money, but the truly polite man can allow others to work for him and can make life long friend of creditor by the beau tiful way in which he apologies for not being able to pay him.
 Some people wear their politness all the time, while others take it off like an overcoat when they become heat ed and use the plain unvarnishei cussword. After using politeness constantly and to excess for few years a mans feelings and his con- versation become total strangers and have to be introduced when they meet on rare occasions.
 Politeness has made the world twice as pleasant and about halt as truth full as it was before. However, people should not attempt to live on polite ness alone. It is like living on cake. Some of our politest citizens have come to sgd ends by being shot by boorish ocrsons to whom they were spologiAihs for being compelled to ask them to elevate their hands and stand perfectly quiet.
 America is not noted as a nation for politeness. France is. Frenchmen are marvels of politeness .and pleas ant elastic manners. A Frenchman can run an automobile over a pedes- trian with such perfect manners that the boorishness of the American who picks up the victim is painfully evil dent by contrast.
 We should all strive to be polite, but not too blankey-blithering po- lite.

Nelson's secretary. He upbraids the
boy, who turns or his father and ac-
cuses him Of maintaining another es-

ters the room just in time to hear the
accusation. Nelson confesses to her
that the charge is true Nelson leaves

Apartment Hotel. His daughter deter

badly ventilated workrooms and
stores, made to assume taxing mus
cular positions, forced to spend their
strength beyond reason.
THE intensity of desire with which
the adolesCent girl Graves pleasure,
and the conditions under which it is
gratifled, are further potent causes
for confusion Of standards. The work
ing girl necessarily seeks her recrea-
ton in the evening, and thus unduly
prolongs the hours during which
strain is placed on muscles and
nerves; contracts bad emotional hab-
it's and weakens body and spirit
alike.
THE widespread commerCialization
of every form OF recreation, and its
transference from the restraints and
guardianship of the home and neigh

in every city is devoted to CONNER
ciaiized pleasure resorts further enc

The purveyors of recreation ex-

girl naturally Graves a share in the

participation only too often calls for
the more ample resources OF some
man, the way Is opened for moral

Women in particular have not only

have had to face the serious moral
problems forced upon them by the
reorganization of their sphere OF life

Chief among such is the pro-

family life. The average working

TX THAT, mother dear, is an old
w maid? Is she an accident or
a design?
That child, is a question to which
there is no answer; but It is better
to claim to her face that she is a de
sign.
What. mother mine, is this resigna-
ton the preachers talk so much
1t is the discovery, little One, that
beating his head Is harder than his
head. When he learns this, he quits
beating his head, and then his friends
say he has become resigned.
Is anyone, mother ever really re-
signed?
Everyone who stays married, my
child.
What. mother is a family reunion?
1t Is one Of those occasions, little
one, when 4 wife drags her husband
off to eat dinner with her folks, and
he is mad because he has to go.
Don't they ever go to his folks for
family reunion?
When a man Is married, child, he
has no folks but hers. You have
much to learn, little one, that is not
written in the books.
Why, mother mine, was the turkey
chosen as the national bird for
Thanksgiving?
Because, my child, when Thanks
giving was established large families
were the rule, and a big bird was
needed for the large family groups
that gathered on that day. If there
were any practical application of the
question of economies so wisely
talked of these days, the national
Thanksgiving bird would now be
wren.
Why. mother, has the chrysanthe-
mum been adopted as the football
game flower?
Have you never noticed, little one,
the similarity between It's hair and
that Of the football player? The more
both look in need Of hairpins, the
more women adore them.
Is woman ever sorry she married,
dear mother?
She Is always glad, my child, whom
she thinks OF the children.
Is a man ever sorry mother?
He is always sorry, little one, when
he thinks Of himself
And how often is that, mother?
All, child, you ask too many ques
tons.

Mother Mine?"
