Not flower did we place OIL
James Monroe Taylor's coffin, nor

each of us over the roughs and

strewed made life sweet and the
throbbing heart sad. We care not
a whit for flowers on Our coffin

RULES POLITE BOYS OBSERVE.

Little points of etiquette distinguish
the well bred boy from the poorly
bred. An authority has formulated

following things should be done:
HAT lifting in saying Goodbye or
How do you do?'
HAT lifting when Offering a seat
in car or acknowledging a favor.
Keep step with any one you walk
with.
Always precede a lady upstairs,
and ask her if you may precede her
in passing through a crowd or pub
lie place.
HAT off the moment you enter a
street door and when you step into
private hall or Office.
Let a lady pass first always, I'M
less she asks you to precede her.
I'm the parlor stand until every lady
is seated.
Look people straight in the face
when speaking or being spoken to-.
Let ladies pass through a door
first, standing aside for them.
In the dining room take your seat
after ladies and elders.
Never play with knife, fork or
spoon.
do not take your napkin in a
bunch in your hand.
Eat as fast or as slow as others

THE CORRECT THING FOR A
FUNERAL,
1t is the Correct Thinq:-

II is the Correct Thing:-
For the relatives and nearest friends
of the deceased to have Masses said
as soon as possible for the repose of
his soul.
To have the funeral conducted from
the parish church.
To have Requiem Mass celebrated
on the day of the funeral
To place a crucifiX on the lifeless
breast in the coffin.
To keep blessed candles constantly
burning around the remains.
For a Catholic to be buried in a
Catholic cemetery.
To pay church expenses connected
with funeral in advance.
1t Is Not the Correct Thinq:-
For relatives and friends to spend
a great deal of money for flowers and
the trappings of woe and little or none
for Masses.
For those in attendance at wake"
to make it the occasion of merriment
For friends who cannot afford the
expense to send expensive floral offer
ings.
For friends to spend money for a
carriage and for flowers and neglect
to have a Mass offered up for the dee
parted soul.
To make vulgar display of pro-
fusion of flowers and long line of
carriages.
To expect a consecrated grave and
a priest to conduct funeral service for
one who refused the ministration of
the Church whilst living.
For mere acquaintance and stran-
gers to crowd the church through a
morbid curiosity, and to attempt to get
front seats which belong by all cour-
tesy and right to the mourners.
And worse still, for them to take ad-
vantage of so sad an occasion to get
free drive, and occupy carriages pro.
vided for relatives and friends.
Correct Thing for Catholics. -

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
LULus ROSARY AND HER DREAM.
(story from Life)

Yes, am called a keepsake now,
and it is a long time since l have
felt the fingers of my dear mistress,
gently touch each little joint of my
body. You ask me where Tam, where
is my mistress, and why / am called
a keepsake? Listen, dear friends, and
I will relate to you the story of my
simple life.

hands of a sweet, gentle num- AS she
formed my slender body she whisper
ed fervent prayers to her beloved
Spouse. A few days after my COM
pletion, young girl named Lulu visit

AS she laid me carefully away in a
case heard her say:
What pretty Rosary"
So .hen | knew I was Rosary.
How lonesome and homesick felt
in the little case! What a change
for me! In my former home | had
companions; here l had none.
My first experience in the world
was rather strange to me. WAS
carried all around by Lulu. Wher-
ever she went she took me with her.
One morning was taken out of the
case and, to my establishment, / be-
held beautiful sight. 1 was in an
immense structure, so different from
my little home. 1 was bewildered.
looked around, and saw affairs with
burning candles upon them, lighted
hanging lamps, statues of saints and
angels and beautiful pictures.
l was turned in the hand of my
mistress and saw everywhere many
faces looking toward the altar. Later

House of God. Then / felt more at
ease. l knew that was highly priced
and was to be used for a good pur-
pose. / gained this information from
brother of mine whom recognized

kneeling next to my mistress. We
were speaking to each other, planning
how we should meet as often as posi-

THE THREE euARDsMEN.

An Opulent Frenchman, who com.
bned with the nobility of lineage a
many-sided intellectual cultivation, and
who had for long time been project
and incumbent of many exalted state
offices, who was beloved by rich and
poor alike, weary of world splendors,
resolved to retire from the world and
to enter Trappist monastery. Every
body marveled at the step he took,
and his relatives invoked all their
powers of persuasion to divert him
from his intention. In vain. IL was
not long before he had laid aside the
gorgeous apparel of the world and
donned the coarse monks cowl and
gown. But his friends even pursued
him into the very monastery, itself,
and pressed him to leave there. He
calmly answered them: 81 cannot"
But why not them"
did you not see, at the entrance to
the hall of the monastery, the three
guardsmen who keep me here"
Three guardsmen?" inquired the
friends; mo, we did not see Them
Then spake the noble monk: cover
the first arch of the entrance in bold,
large letters is the inscription: Death!
Judgment! Eternity Those are the
/ three guardsmen, whom I can not
escape; and / shall, therefore, re-
main"
Would there not, too, be many one
of us, who would remain faithful to his
calling and fulfil the duties thereof,
conscientiously, if he were to have
these three guardsmen as his SEN
tinels? In all thy works remember
thy last end, and thou shalt never

DAUGHTER CAN SAVE MOTHER.

There is so much daughter can do
for her mother that it is hard to know
where to begin. Remember, girls, that
all your lives your mothers have been
sacrificing themselves for you. Now
you have a chance to reverse things.
Your shoulders are young and
strong; help lift the burden a little
from the tired shoulders that have
borne it so long. Let mother see that
you appreciate all that she has done
for you. Take the heaviest part of the
houseWork on her hands, Make her

stay in bed in the morning while you
get the breakfast Send her out to
enjoy herself while you look after the
children.
Of course you cannot do this every
day, but you can do your share of it.
II you are business girl you can
not do much of this sort of thing, but
there are many little pleasures you
can give her.
Something pretty to wear will please
her. She likes pretty things as well
as you do. Confide in her and tell her
your hopes and ambitions. She is bet
ter than all the girl friends in the
world and will never tell your secrets.
The trouble about mothers is, that
we get so used to them that we don t
half appreciate them until we lose
them. Then quickly enough we real
ize what all that divine care and ten
derness meant No matter how much
you do, you can't begin to return all
they have done for you, but do the
best you can. A little love and pet.
ting is always appreciated by mothers;
try it with yours and see if she does
not thrive under it.
AS for the girls who talk and act
disrespectfully toward their mothers
for them no criticism is too harsh. II
only they knew what outsiders think
of it believe they would stop it.
The prettiest girl in the world is
absolutely devoid of charm if she is
impertinent to her mother
Begin today, girls, and save your
mothers all the worries you can; show
them all the consideration you can
and give them all the love you can.
