piseun,ion, Ar. Taboo.

1t Is not wise to be SO thin skinned
as not to be able TO listen TO an argu-
ment in which your pet theories are at
tackled without getting angry. But
there is a limit to all things, and the
person who wantonly attacks your
friends is guilty Of gross breach Of
good manners. to say the least An
expression Of personal opinion may be
forgiven. because every one has a right
to it, but no one has a right to thrust
his opinions upon others at every op-
portunity.
In all good society discussion of
politics, religion and other such sub
poets is forbidden by general consent
It has almost come to the point that
the present war is not to be talked
about except among friends. as in
general gathering there are certain to
be persons who would feel strongly
upon the subject Of his own particular
country.
There are several things to be re-
membered, one of them that very little
is known as to what Is really happen
ing in the war zones, and another that
each country involved in the war has
an opinion as to the cause Of it that Is
entirely different from that Of every
other country. The only subject upon
which all are united is that the situa-
tion is deplorable in whatever light It
Is viewed and that 1t cannot be made
any better by unwise discussion.
The very fact that each person feels
so strongly about it is evidence that
it is not a safe subject for converse
ton and that good taste will put 1t
among those not TO be discussed except
among friends who understand one an
other well enough to forgive any ex-
travagant expressions of opinion.

The Correct Introduction.

In the case Of introductions nothing
can be more simple or more correct
than the form Of Miss A, let me in
troduce Mr.. b." and still this is en-
tirely the proper thing. The form,
however. means that the lady must
permit the man TO be introduced to
her, not she presented to him This
should appeal to the sense Of propnety
in any one. it would appear. If a mo-
ments thought is given to the matter
at all
The younger should always be pre-
scented to the elder. except in the case
Of a young lady and an elderly man.
Should the man. however, be promi-
nent in any way it is entirely correct
to present young lady to him, saying.
Mr.. Blank, I want you to know my
friend Miss F."
1t Is the very simplest thing to re-
member that an unmarried woman is
presented to the married one, a very
young girl TO any ladies that are older.

q case to his host, whether the latter
be the elder or not, Just because he Is

Classifying the Living Room.


There is usually only one living room
in the smaller priced apartments or
houses. Besides the dining room, kiteh-
en-, bath and bedrooms there Is only
this one room Of indefinite character
which can be furnished at will as a
library. music room, den. study or
plain parlor. Its future destination is
left to the judgment Of the owner.
ANY one of the above named charac-
tiers may be given this general room
For instance, II the young hOusekeeper
Is musical and owns a piano the room
at once should be classified as a music
room. II there are u good many books
belonging to members Of the family
the room takes on the character OF a
library. II there are a handsome writ
ing desk and a writer In the family II
may serve to make the room a study.
More often, however, this one room
Is a sort OF general living room with
out any definite character, just a place
Of comfort and cleanliness where the
family assemble after dinner for a
period of rest and pleasure
In the latter case comfort Is the
thing to be considered, and following
close upon its heels is prettiness, for
It is almost impossible to be perfectly
comfortable In an ugly room 1t is not
necessary for the young hOusekeeper
to spend a great deal Of money in pur-
suit OF either comfort or prettiness-
The daintiest kind Of rooms are those
furnished in wicker or reed and chintz
or cretonne.

Double Use For Dining Room.

Double Use For Dining Rooms.
A certain custom that Is much In
practice abroad In the smaller apart
ments and houses may well be adopted
here Over there whenever the dining
room and parlor adjoin they are paper
ed In the same way. Between meals
the dining room table is treated as a
library table, covered with periodicals,
books, pictures, etc Outside Of the
usual number OF stiH backed dining
room chairs there Is nothing to sug-
gest a place to eat These stih backed
chairs are placed around between easy
chairs. There is perhaps a couch
laden with cushions, a bookcase. a desk
and other furniture usual In the living
room
This treatment presents another use
full room to the family, for. after all, a
dining room Is practically useless, save
for three hours at most during the day.
In the foreign way, however, the din
ing room is very often more popular
than the formal parIor. This idea may
wen be adopted by the young house
wife who finds herself limited for
space.

Before laying away furniture covers
they should be carefully gone over and

Political Associates

Students and thinkers, pedants
and philosophers have for genera
items argued the pros and cons OF
heredity VS.. environment, wlthou-
coming to a conclusion as to the
exact per cent each is entitled IN
the final makeup of our mental
and moral natures.
There never has been much ques-
ton as to the proper way OF JdGS-
ing mans nature by tracing he
character of these with whom he
is on terms of the closest mt
macy and coed fellowship.
1t is, however, not unusual 10
hear of a man being himself de
cent" kind o. an individual, and
wonderment expressed as to just
why he surrounds himself with GER
tain associates or environments.
The decent" kind of an !ndivl-
dual may not have sunk down to
the full level of his associates, but
it is safe bet that he is seeking
those things which most appeal 20
his real inner nature.
AS it is in life, so it is in poll
tics; the man who insists upon sur
rounding himself with a low type
of political associates, does this
because this type really appeals to
him.
It is common talk to hear a man
say that $50 and So" is wrong, but
politics is politics." and a man
must do such things if he wants to
win.
As long as the people-the vot-
ers-allow such statements to go
unchallenged, and as long as they
ease their conscience by putting the
burden on political exigencies, so
long will they encourage men of
this type to stay in public Efe.
Right is Right and Wrong isWrong,
and it does not make any differ
ence whether they are found in
the Church, the Private Life, the
Business Life, or the Political Life.
We want men in Public Life who
believe that evil communications"
have the same effect there as else
where; who believe thai Birds of
a feather flock together" whether
they be the cartons of the air or
the political vultures that feast upon

Farm Notes.

The farmer who says he cannot
save any money until he gets his
settlement for tomatoes, is pursu-
ing a very unwise policy. Save
something. no matter how little,
from every crop, and the habit OF
saving is formed, and after all, the
habit is half the battle. To look
upon each dollar received as the
opportunity to save a little; that
is what counts.
