Ancient "RuIes of CiviIitv."

If the seventh-century Englishman
failed in his manners it was for want
of instruction. 'The Rules of Civil
ity," book published in 1875, con-
tains the following hints on good be-
havior: Being in discourse with a
man, it's no less than ridiculous to
pull him by the buttons, to play with
the bandstrings, belt or cloak; or to
punch him now and then on the stom-
ach; it's a pleasant sight, and we'll
worthy of laughter, to see him that is
so puncht, fall back and retire; whilst
the other, insensible of his absurdity,
pursues and presses him into some
corner, where he Is at last glad to cry
quarter, before his comrade perceives
he Is in danger" And again: ct
argues neglect, and to undervalue a
man, to sleep when he is discoursing
or reading; therefore, good manners
command it to be forbid; besides,
something there may happen in the
act that may offend, as snoring, sweat
ing, gaping or dribbling."

its Infamous quality. Instead of i'm

the authorities occasionally soothe

II am afraid" said the Count Won
Werdenstein, that he is preparing q
surprise for us. l do not like his 81
lence."
COR Is he simply enjoying a long
honeymoon" was Rositta's sarcastic
comment.
But the count shook his head doubt
fully.
A year had almost passed when the
first European aerodromone was fin
ished and ready for its trial trip. 1t
was as perfect as mechanical genius
could make 1t.
Count Won Werdenstein had invited
several reigning monarchs to attend
the trial fight and Suemeg rivaled the
ancient Roman pageants In splendor.
Only a few besides the royal specta-
tors were allowed on the plateau near
the aerodromone plant. The police
compelled the uniformed thousands
who lived in the neighborhood to
keep a respectful distance.
Santos Duprel's heart beat high
when he and Rositta stepped into the
waiting machine. ROSETTA had decorat-
ed this first aerodromone with gor-
geous princely crown. and It glittered
bravely in the morning sun.
ROSETTA was clever and studied the
aerodromone under Santos direction
until she was expert in it's control and
manufacture. When they entered the
aerodromone, Santos went to the
wheel, moved the starting lever and
the wings rose slowly, then swooped
downward, causing the machine to
rise swiftly and surely. Everything
worked exactly as desired and the ma
chine soon disappeared from the view
OF the watchers, behind bank Of
clouds.
They went up and swan In the
feecy clouds that beloved in the gold
en- sunshine. They reached an enor-
NOUS height, then Santos reversed the
machine, turned of the power and
they slid downward. Rositta stood
by his side, embracing him with one
arm. In her exuberance she reached
up with her free hand and pulled the
lever that emptied the brass recep-
tacle; a binding flash came, striking
downward, zigzagging through the
clouds, and mighty thunder echoed
through space.
She realized her might, and In that
moment Of intoxicating delight she
dreamed a dream-she saw herself as
the ruler of the world.
"How long will 1t take to have twen-
ty machines like this, Santos1" asked
Rositta, eagerly.
Five or six months, my queen!"
Then, then we will see" Her eyes
g1ittered strangely with fire that was
not love.
When they landed on the spot from
whore they assembled. the Emperor Of
Germany handed Santos Duprel the
parchment with the great imperial
seal attached. and said: count Won
Duprel, ! want to be the first to con-
graduate you"
An hour later the newly made Count
Won Duprel was receiving the matri-
monial blessing from the court vicar

Bowen paused. "The fact that the
average American looks down on his
wife,"
Mrs. Fairford was up with a spring
Really, Charles-if that's where para

Bowen mildly stood his ground.
"Well-doesn't he prove it? How
much does he let her share the real
business of life? How much does he
rely on her judgment and help in the
conduct of serious affairs? Take
Ralph, for instance-you say his wife's
extravaganza forces him to work too
hard; but that's not what's wrong. It's
normal for a man to work hard for a
woman-what's abnormal is his not
caring to tell her anything about il"

death if he did,"
"Just so; she even felt aggrieved.
But why? Because it's against the
custom of the country. And whose
fault is that? The mans again.
don't mean Ralph, mean the genus
he belongs to; homo sapiens, Ameri-
canus. Why haven't we taught our
women to take an interest in our
work? Simply because we don't take
enough interest in them"
Mrs. Fairford, shaking back in her
chair, sat gazing at the vertiginous
depths above which his thoughts seem
ed to dangle her.
"You don't-I mean the American
man doesn't-the most Shaving, self
effacing, self-sacrifcing-?"
Eyes; and the most Indifferent;
there's the point. The 'slaving's' no
argument against the Indifference.
To slave for a woman is part of the
old American tradition; lots of people
give their lives for dogmas they've
ceased to believe in. Then again, in
this country the passion for making
money has preceded the knowing how
to spend it, and the American man
lavishes his fortune on his wife be-
cause he doesn't know what else to do
with it."
Then you call it mere want of
imagination for man to lavish his
money on his WIFE"
mot necessarily it's a want of
Imagination to fancy it's all he owes
her. Why does the European woman
interest herself so much more in what
the men are doing? Because she's so
important to them that they make it
worth her while! She's not a paren-
thesis, as she is here-they simply
don't picture life without her."-Edith
