The Behavior of Cden-hee Is Vast Difference Between Liberty
and cene-A Fact Which More American Mothers Should Consider
: By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
Copyright 1914 By Star Company.

I tering a room, and girls should be
taught the same act Of courtesy.
There is too much freedom in most
American homes. It does not indicate
affection, or mutual understanding, or
good comradeship; when people bolt
into the presence of another member
OF the family with no word or sound to
prepare the way. it merely indicates
lack of thoughtful consideration
The refnementS Of life do much to
keep the affections alive
A delicate code of manners, observed
betWee husband and vile, helps to
keep them out of the divorce court
A gentle tap on a door, even If the
door is open, and a word indicating who
is coming, makes the advent Of a loved
one no less welcome.
NegIectfuI Mother Aids DiscOurtesy.
The mother who does not train her
son to show to her the little courtesies
like this is sowing seeds OF annoyance
for others who viii be irritated by this
lack Of thoughtfulness-
A woman had occasion to call at the
office of a prominent lawyer in q city
of colleges
The lawyer was absent, but his secre-
tarv was present, a well educated young
man. of good American family. The
woman who called was one for whom
he Enthusiastically felt respect, yet he
permitted her TO stand for five minutes
in his presence while she told her
e1rand; and he lounged comfortably in
his chair, with a cap on his head which
he never thought to remove
He seemed most anxious to be Of
service and in every way tried to help
her; no doubt he would be greatly
astonished and deeply panied il he
knew she thought him discourteous.
Such conduct is not at all uncommon
in America; 1t is to be met with every
day; and it is always the fault Of the
mother.
Father Not BIameless.
The father, too. comes in for his share
of blame; but it is the mother who has
the child near her hour in and hour out,
during those early years when habits
are formed; and it is to the mother a
child should look for right training in
department.
Little girls, as well as boys, need
careful coaching. They should never
be allowed to enter rooms without
previous announcement; they should
not be permitted to break into CONVEX
satiOn without apology; and they should
not lounge or sit while their elders
stand.
Teach your children these little re-
fnements, good mothers
1t is better than leaving them a
legacy Of hard-earned money.

Helen knew this was unfair To tell
the truth she was rather delighted with
her new clothes. She had always been
a quiet type, with little or no dash
TO attract attention, and now that she
was so obviously attractive to other
people besides her husband it inwardly
pleased her.

Helen followed Warren out Of the
car, and in the rush Of the after-the-

the platform Warren was striding
on ahead, and didn't notice it but
one Of the men who had been sitting
opposite in the train handed il to her

thanked him and Warren, looking
around suddenly, caught the smile and

Several people looked around at his

Why did he always have TO embarrass

crowded with people hesitating TO start
out in the drizzle, but Warren pushed
through and made his way with long
strides through the streets, Helen hur-

Helen was thankful that he did not
speak as they went up in the eleya-

the apartment she Went in quietly.
The place was warm and coy after
the wet streets. and Pussy PurrmeW

Beatrice Fairfax Writes on
How Can Know My True Love?
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Z n all the old fairy tales, prince
Charming comes riding upon
- wonderful white charger and his
happy love knows him by sight. Life,
unfortunately or luckily according as
you prefer to have your pleasures
ready made or to work for them, is
not in the least like the fairy tales Of
love.
Life is full Of people who would
not know their true love II they met.
or Of folks who get tired Of waiting
for love and marry for a home, or for
support, or to satisfy a passing fancy.
But there are many honest souls who
are convinced that they would not
know love II they met him. and they
write me in great numbers to ask how
they may recognize love when it
comes.
Now love of the right sort is based
on more than mere attraction between
the sexes. Love is a supreme longing
of one individual for another. But
that longing is to share all the realities
OF life and not emotion alone
The Longing to Share.
The person you truly love is the one
with whom you long to share all the
good that comes to you, and whom
you yearn TO protect from any evil
that threatens
Love should be based on companfon-
ship, on congenialty, on respect, trust,
tenderness and a loyal belief that life,
with the object Of your affections at
your side viii be better and happier
than Il could ever be under any other
Love has been called Friendship
without flowers or veil" In reality
II IS a tine, loyal friendship, plus sex
But congeniality of mind and spirit
IS Iully as important as the longing
for emotion and affection that many
people confuse with love.
Girls and men alike know their
true loves by four signs that point to
love as the signs of the compass point /
~ lne -FOUR great cardinal directions. |
Ehe great signs of love are four-and /
there are four minors ones too.

mothers have a large duty confronting

Rich Are UI-Bred.
When such examples of ill-breeding
can be found among the rich. one can
not wonder that the poorer classes
have not reached a standard where they
understand the importance Of including
good manners in the curriculum OF
education
A woman who employs boys OF all
work at her country home, was sur
prised TO discover that children of
Americans who came to her for work
were nearly always lacking in the little
polite habits which IL would seem every
mother would teach her boys and girls
as soon as they were able to talk
For instance, boys Of 10 came into

The girls were taken to the concerts regularly last summer and the hope is expressed that every friend of the home will contribute sol4.- thing in support of this years concerts

Boston Federation Chooses Gloomy Method to Drive
 Lesson Home

Chicago, June 26.-Most of the reports and addresses at the Sunday school con- vention here are cheerful, optimistic af- fairs, but the scientific temperance feder- ation of Boston has chosen a gloomy but effective method to drive it's lesson home. It is an exhibit of statistics with graves and tombstones as symbols
 Demonstrating the number of deaths in Basic, Switzerland, in a certain period as the result of alcoholic indulgence a row of graves painted black is used, with the statistics on the headstones. Then there is a row of wooden figures in convict garb, accompanied by statistics showing that 95 per cent of them owed their troubles to strong drink.
 A country without opium by 1920 was the prediction made for China in an ad- dress by Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts of Wash ipgton.
 "The chief encouragement of the move- ment for worldwide prohibition of the use of opium has been the Unprecedented success of the Chinese in suppressing the traffic." the speaker said. Tt was ad- mitted by the British embassy few months ago in Washington that S5 per cent of the poppy-growing and 90 per cent of the opium smoking had ceased In five Chinese provinces the suppress sion is complete, and five more will be added soon"

SUMMER-SPOILED SKIN
 REMOVED BY ABSORPTION

AS undue summer exposure usually leaves an undesirable surface of tan. dust grease often freckles. too, it Is more sensible to remove such surface than to hide 1t with cosmetics. There's nothing better for this than ordinary mercolized wax, which actually absorbs an unwholesome complexion. The thin layer of surface skin is itself absorbed gently gradually. so there's no incon- venience, no detention, indoors. Spread the wax lightly over the entire face at bedtime and take it off in the morn- ing with warm water. If you will get one ounce of mercolized wax at the drug store. use for week or so, you may expect marked improvement daily When the underlying skin Is wholly in view your complexion will be a marvel of spotless purity and beautiful white ness.
 Don't let those summer wrinkles worry you: worry breeds more wrinkles Ba2ish them by bathing the face in a solution of powdered saxolite. oz.,. dis 11 lved in 1a pt. witch hazel Used daily for awhile this will be found wonder fully effective.
