Then. think Ill watt" announced
the girl. She threw of her fur coat,
and took q seat before the open crate.
the chair was large. and swallowed
her up.
Samson wanted to look at her. and
was afraid that this would be impolite.
He realized that he lad seen no
real ladies. except on the street. and
now he had the opportunity.
I'm glad Of this chance to meet
you. Mr.. South" said the girl with q
smile that found its way to the boys
heart. After all, there was sincerity
In foreign" women. George talks Of
you SO much that feel as II I'd known
you all the while. Don't you think I
might claim friendship with Georges
friends?"
Samson had no answer. He wished
to say something equally cordial, but
the old instinct against effusiveness
tied his tongue.
Il owe right smart to George Les
cott," he told her. gravely.
That's not answering my question"
she laughed. do you consent to be-
ing friends with me?"
Miss" began the boy. Then, real.
izing that In New York this form Of
address is hardly complete. he hast

l haven't any idea Of proper manners,
and so I'm, as we would say down
home, plumb skeered' of ladies'"
As he accused himself, Samson was
looking at her with unblinking direct
ness; and she met his glance with
eyes that twinkled.
"Mr. South" she said, Il know all
about manners. and you know all
about hundred real things that
want to know. Suppose we begin
teaching each other?"
Samson's face lighted with the rev.
authorizing effect that a smile can
bring only to features customarily
solemn.
Miss Lescott," he said, let's call
that a trade-but you're gettin' all
the worst Of 1t. To start with, you
might give me a lesson right now in
how Teller ought to act. when he's
talkin' to lady-how ought to act
with you!"
Her laugh made the situation as
easy as an old shoe.
Ten minutes later, Lescott entered.
WELL" he said, with a smile. shall
I introduce you people. or have you
already done 1t for yourselves?"
oh" Adrienne assured him. "Mr.
South and I are old friends" As she
left the room. she turned and added:
"The second lesson had better be at
my house. II telephone you some
day when we can have the school-room
to ourselves, will you come up!"
Samson grinned and forgot to be
bashful as he replied:
I'll come a-kitin'!"

TRAINING the Child,

In the course OF a very interesting
little article entitled. Your Children's
Manners" in the Woman's Home Com
panion appears the following wise COM
ment:
Good company manners depend up
on good home n AS for table
manners. the active child who from his
earliest years has been accustomed to
regular meals Of simple food with suf-
f1cient variety for his health and pleas
ure will be hungry enough at mealtime
to eat anything that is put before him.
If from the beginning he has been en-
couraged by example, then good table
manner will be as natural as breath
ing. They will be a part of him, and
he will make use of them wherever he
IS
"The place for a parent to begin
training hi manners Of her child is
with her own Whenever q
mother complains to me Of the bad
of her child she is uncon-
sciously lodging a complaint against
herself as a mother. OF course a Ger
tain amount Of boisterousness and will
fulness Is to be expected, and hoped
for. in the child; but bad manners
spring almost invariably from the care
%lessness, lack Of consideration, arti-
fetal ideals, lack Of time-many busy
mothers, 1t is true, cannot give the
those who are responsible for the
child's training.
THE old ideal Of training in be-
havior was based largely upon the
principle of the child's consideration
for its elders; the modern principle de-
mands also the elders consideration
for the child"

Music and Muscle.

from the Dayton news.
The band shall play while coaling,"
says al order recently ISSUED by the
United States navy. The music has moth
Ing to do with the coal, and 1t would
seem to be an unusua time to have music
when the dirtiest, most toilsome work
Is being done. But that is the order. And
1t was issued for q purpose.
1t has been u hat the men are
more cheerful when there Is music in. the

We are familiar with the effect of mu-
sic In battle. When men were led into
charges, when they met the enemy face
to face and fought 1t out In hand-to-hand
Fashion. music was deemed essential. But
music isn't playing much part In the
present struggle, for obvious reasons. 1t
wouldn't add anything to the inspiration
OF the scene. nov that men are fighting
from trenches and hurting death at un-
seen ami But It is still Of use in
the navy.
Taking the him from the recent order

ers' Record advocates music in factories
He does not claim that the band should
play all the time, while the men are work
Ing at all tasks, but he does believe that
II there were more music about the fac
tories OF this country 1t would be all the
better-that the men would be kept in
better humor, and therefore In better
form for the tasks at hand.

Of a western man and his wife. who are
making a living by sending food from
the country to city customers. In pack
ing cases they send plump young broil-
ers. thanked On one side by perfectly

lowing vegetables are acknowledgement
corn, young potatoes, green beans and
6helled peas. R%aspberries and other
fruits are also sent in season. The
author of the article goes on as fol-
lows:
Why isn't this a fine opportunity for
any woman who loves to make things
grow. and who owns or Is able to rent
a small place in the first or second zone

ut is so hard at present to procure
competent farm labor that many farm
ers would gladly rent their small e

for farm hands to live In and are now
vacant, n q small tract of land with
them. This little house may be made
quite coy. and by the judicious use Of
fertilizers the few acres will produce
wonderfully. An agreement should be
made for the privilege of renting the
ground for a ike number Of years, so
that the labor and expense Of setting
small fruits need not be lost by the ter
mination OF the lease.
Such things as ~blackberries, rasp-
berries. n strawberries bring in quick
returns. All kinds Of vegetables should

railroad have organized. as they say. to

equivalent OF a fight to get the property

Is such a challenge OF the proprlety and
