Acquire Good Manners

bright, intelligent youth. ambitious to ac-
quire a pleasing department needs only
to watch and listen to the wellbred peo'
pie of his acquaintance to obtain foun'
dalton for good manners, and a knowl-
edge of the right things to dc. Then by
reading out of his mental notebook the
things which he has found displeasing
to himself I'm others. he can soon acquire
a long list of the things not to do.
A well modulated voice in men or
women and a clear-cut, distinct enuncia-
ton in speech arc important facts in an
agreeable personality. These can be
acquired by a little practice. Courtesy
to older people and to women is of great
Importance. The absence of haste or
noise in the partaking of food and the
avoidance OF Longing attitudes at the
table are also important In converse
ton with our fellow beings there are
two well known quotations which may
be serviceable.
One is
Three things to observe with care;
OF whom you speak, to whom you
speak
And how and when and where
The other is-before repeating any I'M
pleasant news or disagreeable gossip
about any one, to ask ones self: Els II
true. is II kind, is il necessary"
Sometimes an important statement may
be true, but It is neither kind nor neces-
sary to repeat. Sometimes IL is true and
not kind, and yet necessary to repeat
1t is necessary to tell a woman with a
baby in her arms IL she is about to call
at house where there is an infectious
disease, that such a condition exists
within. But 1t Is only where there Is
necessity to warn or where there is a
possibility of helping and changing the
existing conditions that one Is really jus
titled in repeating and commenting upon
the disagreeable and painful things of
life.
People who possess the refinement of
good manners always leave q pleasant
and stimulating impression upon those
with whom they converse. Even In the
brief interview in which only the ordi-
nary events or happenings of health and
weather are touched upon, the really
gond-mannered individual whose man.
ners spring from a good heart will find
an opportunity to leave an agreeable
and Frightening effect
Dig deep In your heart first, young
man, then call your brain, your memory,
your powers of observation to bear upon
life. and you will need no book of ETH
quette to direct you, although 1t may
not harm you to read ons.

TO them instead Of taking time TO realize
what Is already contained In them. The
policy | am insisting upon Is the only
one that can secure peace between In
dividuals. states and nations. AS we
have not the power to create anything
new getting more for ourselves usually
means getting II away from somebody
else; and that means quarrel; II means
war, social war or International. That
accounts for the present condition IN
Europe, and for similar conditions as
they have existed down the whole line Of
history.
Peace cannot be legislated. II will be
mace possible only by change of dis
position. individuals will quarrel and
nations win go TO war tin they learn
TO satisfy themselves with what they
have instead OF trying TO satisfy them
selves with what does not belong TO
them.
one would like to be alive a hundred
years from now IN order TO read Just
history OF the events that are now
transpiring. We are too near cur own
day to be IN a situation TO assess a fair
value upon people and their motives and
purposes. Our judgments may not be

That, however. cannot yet be said re-
garding the personages that are playing
a role In this great contemporary trag-
edy. But the time will come when that
can be done and when 1t win be done.

The last scene Of the tragedy that is
now being enacted will sooner or later be
played and the curtain runE down. At
that time. to all present appearance. our
own country win be standing forth with

While It Is an excellent rule to pass
lightly over the faults OF others and to
dwell upon their worthy qualities and
virtues, II serves a good purpose to keep
little mental notebook of the things
which annoy us in others, but to keep
these notes only as reminders OF the
things we do not wish ourselves to do
or say.
A man who was eager for an education
and who had acquired the principle Of
correct grammatical expression was
thrown much with illiterate people in his
daily associations After some years
he became notable for his elegance Of
language. and his fine powers of con-
versation He was asked how he man
aged to avoid acquiring the slip-shod
expressions and grammatical mistakes Of
his companions.
The man answered, Whenever one Of
my comrades or acquaintance uses an
expression which know to be correct
mentally say the phrase as 1t should be
said. For instance. when hear a man
say. I done it, or I seen Teller DO
that, I hain't got st. or similar phrases.
1 repeat mentally, I did It, Il saw man
do that, L haven't got It, etc. never
permit one of those expressions to pass
by without mental correction. In that
way my mental notebook is filled with
the right expressions and the wrong ones
do not come to me when wish to speak. 4"
This is an excellent rule for acquiring
of good language. The same rule can be
applied to manners. Whoever wounds
us by rudeness vuigarity. loud talking
in public places or other disagreeable
habits. should be observed and remern-

POLES

This evening affords a final oppor- tunfty to Bridgeporters to see the very fine vaudeville and photop1ay program that has packed Polls for the last three days.
 The program is well-baIanced throughout and contains many big features. One of the most interesting of these is the ''naovfe'' lecture by Paul Panzer, the t'yil1atn'' of the famous ''PeriIs of Pau1ine' serial. Mir Pan ger explains the making of films, using g four subjects on the screen. It is most interesting and a very unique novelty in the varieties.
 The feature photop1ay is "The Kreutzer Sonta,'S filmed from the great play by Count Leo Tolstoi The drama is most adequately presented by Nance O'Netl, the eminent trag- edienne, and a large cast
 Other vaudeville features are: Fogarty & Kirk, in up-to-date non sense; The Four Lukens, presenting a thrilling aerial exhibition; Annie Kent, singing comedienne; Midgely & Eldon, in a very amusing comedy playlet; and Buckley, Braxton & Garter, in dancing, acrobatics and instrumental music. Tn addition to '"The Kreutzer Sonata there are other photoplays.
 Manager PoH announces two big picture- features for Monday, in addi- ton to the big vaudeville bill. These are Charles Chaplain, the inirnitabIe comedian, in a new two-reeIer, s'The New Champion; and the first authen- tic pictures of the recent Italian earthquake in which nearly 10000 were killed.

PLAZA

The "Six Military Dancers are heading a sp1epdid1y balanced vau- devi1Ie program at the cosy Plaza to- day for the last times and all lovers of the popular craze should make it their business to be present at some performance to-day. The Six Mill tary Dancers are made up of three girls and three boys and they offer one of the most pleasing exhibitions of the art ever staged locally. Their u1ar dances of the day, from ball room dancing to clog and eccentric steps and they have many original in novations as we'll.
 'Travesty in Slices'' is the way San ders & Won Kuntz bill their delightful and screamingly funny oddity. Both are gifted comedians and there is nothing on the program but laughter firm curtain to curtain in their act.
 The Four Slikers drive right into popular favor with the opening num- Der and stay there till they finish. Two boys and two girls form the per sonnel of this comedy quartet and they all possess remarkable voices that harmonize exQuisitely, while the fresh-from- -the-bFain comedy they put over is responsible for many a laugh. The remainder of the vaudeville at fractions include the Sa1ambos, the electrical dynomatic wonders in an
 
 at it's highest pitch from the begin ming to the end of their act and Burns & Kissen, two conical boys with a comica1 line of songs and chatter.
 The Keystone comedy; From Patches to Plenty;'' seThe Gun F'ight-'' er," in two reels; Fortunes of War; story of Mexican war trou- b1es in two reels and '"The Fatal Black Bean'' are shown on the pie lure sheet.

LYRIC

Treating, as it does. of the terrible conditions of the slums, which force those who live there, into lives of crime, the play tKind1ing," which is to be presented at the Lyric theatre by the CaIburn Stock players next week, is play which will be of spe- cial interest to the members of the Bridgeport Good Housing association. The purposes of the Good Housing as sociation and of the author of the play, ''KindIing,'' are one and the same-in both cases the end sought is the betterment of living conditions among the poorer families of the city
 The women members of the Hous- ing association have been invited by the management of the Lyric theatre to attend the afternoon performance of seKindIing'' some day next week and they have been invited also to have Good Housing advocate address the audience between the acts of the play.
 The tooth performance of the Cal burn Players, which will take place Monday evening, bids fair to be the greatest performance of the season at the Lyric theatre, largely due to the fact. that Miss Eleanor Cleveland re- turns to Bridgeport stock circles on that evening. She will take the lead ing role in the play. The souvenir vanity cases which are to be given to 1l1 I410 Aa01SS 4IISLo4nS the fhOnQay evening performance are beautiful lit tie souvenirs and will be we'll worth receiving.
