Problem Of the Debutante.

At this time of the year many par
ents are making arrangements to in,
troduce their daughters in society.
The long and costly period of incuba-t
ton is ended, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. The girl has returned from
a fashionable finishing school, or
from a tour abroad, and she is now
ready albeit with trepidation-to
cross the threshold into the scintillat-
ing ballroom and beyond that into a
world of pleasure and of pain, Of singu-'
lar follies and sad sincerities, of falsef
friends and true counselors. But what
of the immediate process of initiation?
Is the present exhausting ordeal, from,
the autumnal housewarming to the
sackcloth of lenten penitence, any
thing more than a nerve rackings
sleep destroying charivari of vulgar os-
tentation and a hectic, frantic furry
to keep pace with the procession?
What useful end is subserved by this
mad rout of overlapping gayeties that
burns the candle at both ends and re-
duces maiden, who should be buoy
ant and radiant and beautiful in spirit
and in health, to shadow-blase, ane-
mic and lethargic-of her former
charming self?

And one of them I knew, clothed
though he was in Chinese silks and
filrs. 1t was Nikolai himself! I knew
him, and he knew that l recognized
him.
Then the rage that rose up within
my breast impelled me to make one
last. supreme effort for life. The exc
cutioner was only two victims away.
With a wild, conclusive, desperate at
tempt snapped the bonds that bound
my hands, half rose, fell over, rose
again, and, still hobbled around the
ankles, stumbled, hopping, toward the
crowd. And the executioner was only
one victim away!
They broke before me. Then they
turned back. They surrounded me,
hooking and gibing,. pushing me with
their heads and shoulders bacI to-
ward where the executioner, having
disposed of his last victim, stood
calmly waiting. But at that instant
I saw disturbance among the mob.
Heads of men appeared, high above
the rest; then horses, plunging and
struggling through. their chests heav-
ing, their heads tossing beneath the
reins. A moment later / saw the
most welcome sight that has ever
crossed my vision-a squadron of
armed and mounted men. Even as
the sword flashed over my head they
rode the executioner down and, form
ing round me, held me within their
ranks, swooning, but still conscious
that Deaths hand had been stayed.
The next thing that remember was
finding myself upon a straw bed inside
the prison hospital. At my side sat a
police off1cer-the same whom I had
seen riding between me and the

TEACH RULES OF CONDUCT
Bureau Of Education Has Far-Reach,
ing Aims In Instructlng Children
Of the Philippines.

The latest publication of the Bureau
of Education at Manila is an elaborate
treatise on good manners and good
conduct for use in primary grades"
It represents an entirely new colonial
experiment-an attempt to use the
rules of etiquette as a civiliZing force.
Filipino children are learning not only
the English language, reading, writing,
geography and the other branches;
they are not only forming frst-hand
acquaintance with American history,
the Pilgrim Fathers, Abraham Lincoln,
the Constitution and such accepted
authors as Longfellow and Hawthorne;
they are learning also the proper way
to raise their hats to ladies, to go up
and down stairs in the most approved
fashion, to sit and stand and walk ac-
cording to the accepted code, to be-
have with dignity and courtesy in all
the social crises of life.
Though the parents of most of the
children dispense with table utensils
at their meals and convey food to their
mouths with their fingers, no Filipino
boy or girl can go through the primary
grades without acquiring complete
education in the use of knife, fork and
spoon. A graduate of this department,
if he profits by his instruction, will
never use toothpicks in public, never
tuck his napkin into his bosom, never
reach across the table for the salt, nor
emphasize the strong points in his con-
versation by wild gesticulations with
his knife. He will always say please"
when making a request, respond don't
mention it, when thanked for small
personal attention, never leave room
without asking to be excused, always
rise when lady enters, and never
pass in front of people without a POI
lite pardon me-"
All this instruction is given, not aca-
demically, but graphically and con-
cretely. Good manners are taught in
the form of set dialogues and little
one-act plays. Selected children enact
the several roles of father, mother,
teacher, son, daughter and the other
everyday social characters.-The
Worlds Work.

approached by several in both automo-
