Etiquette is to manners what the

| literally means n-sticking. The rules
of etiquette constantly vary, but good
manners are unchanging the world
over. Menelik of Africa might need

| white hoLse, but in an examination on
| genuine good manners he would pass
with honors, I trow. If good old King
Alfred came back TO England, ne might
not be familiar with this years code at

date
Etiquette belongs to the hands and

adornment of drawing rooms; manners

An Fnglishman told me that hun

was customary for napkin and glass,
guest and host, to rest in happy confu-
sion meath the table.
Seriously, at much married King

~ EAR me! Dear me! Dear me!
What a fuss over nothing at all!
So father comes right into the
parlor and visits with your friends and
talks to daughters company. too, and
makes Jokes, and you're so ashamed of
him you don't know what to do, and he
seems to think he's perfectly welcome,
and whatever shall you do about it?
Perfectly welcome" in his own
home! Where on earth do you want
him TO find a welcome. If not there?
Who pays the rent for that home,
prav tell, and who settles the electric
light bill and who bought those very
comfy chairs and that coy table, l
should like to know?
For whom did he buy them, and why
fdid ne buy them?
To be turned out of his own rooms
whenever somebody happens to come
to pay fugitive call?
What's the matter with father2
Not single thing, as far as l can
zee, but something very serious is the
matter with mother and daughter, too,

Why should you want to shut him out
Of all the fun Just because he supports
YOU
You were glad enough to see him
coming up the steps when you weren't
married TO him-what has changed him
so IN your eyes now?
Are you one of those women who
think their husbands are just conven-
fences, Just those to pay the bills, and
that's about all?
What is husband getting out of it all
anyhow
Are you such a fascinator that just
one glance from your bright eyes is
supposed to recompense him for slav-
ing all day at the office just to get the
money to buy you new spring clothes
and array daughter like one of Solo

Father earns his right to that house

What has daughter ever done to glad

came from plutonic, and could not
have come from meteoric source.
Several most interesting discoveries
have been made In connection with
the artesian waters Of recent years.
One was that the constituent elements
in some of the higher and lower lev
els in the same we'll differ very con-
siderably, the former being generally
injurious and the latter beneficial to
vegetable growth. The injurious ef-
fects of the higher level waters are
attributed to an alkali which COM
bines with clay to form a substance
known as a difiusible colloid, which
expands in soil treated with these
waters, blocks the pores and renders
the soil unfit for agriculture. Hence
the bad reputation of artesian waters
as an irr1gant for agricultural pur-
poses. But this difficulty can be
overcome by constructing the wells In
such way as to enable the beneficial
waters at the lower depth to be tap
ped to the exclusion of the injurious
ones at the upper level.
