A LOVING FRIEND
REPLY TO QUESTION OF MANNERS,

1 think it sounds brusque to say
"yes" or mo-" to a question-although
yes and no are emniently respectable
words to use. The law is perfectly
satisfied to accept yes and no from
parties on the witness stand.
L find that cultured and elegant peo-
pie in higher ATTITUDES in replying to
questions that I ask of them use the
following-"Yes, Mrs. Felton," or mo,
Mrs. Felton," as the case may be. That
relieves the brousequeness of the plain
yes and no.
In southern ATTITUDES where we were
accustomed to servants in the house
and around-the yes, ma'am ana
no. maam," prevailed and it has con-
tinued through the years since the
Civil war Children were taught to
say Eyes, ma'am" and mo, ma am
because plain yes and no were account
ed stubborn in their attitude to their
elders.
If had to make a legal decision
on this subject, / would say ii is more
proper and perhaps more elegant for
me to say to a visitor or questioner
ives. Mrs. jones'" or mo, Mrs. Smith,
than to say only yes and no. :
The great majority of northern and
western people do say plain yes
and plain no, and expect
our ives. ma'ams' and mo, sirs" are
considered more or less servile, when
thew listen to our conversation. / am
glad this question has been presented
and 1t has long been question OF man
ners.

Dear Household--It has been seven or
eight years since 1 visited you. / was
then a Georgian, l am now a South Car
Gilman, but 1 don't think 1 will ever
love this state as did dear old Georgia,
my native state.
l have just read a Broken Hearted
Mothers letter and a sad one it is. My
sympathy goes out TO her, but 1 do not
agree with her in regards to not marry
ing for love, surely the happiest mar
riages are those where true love really
exists on both sides. There are some
who rush into matrimony before they
are sure that they really and truly love
the one they are taking for life part
ner
I think a mans love is harder to re-
tain than a woman's. After marriage
she sometimes has to work many ways
to retain her husbands affections. Dear
broken hearted mother. don't think I
am trying to intimate that you have not
tried to retain your husbands affections
for I am not, but we sometime do things
unthoughtedly.
Sometimes a poor woman can do all in
her power, and hardly be respected IN
her home, but think there is as a rule
some neglect on our part. Just ask
yourself the questions. Have 1 done
all that 1 could have done? Have l al
ways had our home as attractive as l
could when he comes home? Have I
attended to my own personal appear
ance."
Some women think because they have
landed" a husband she need have no
further pride in her personal appear
ance, but she makes the biggest mistake
Df her life. l don't mean to say a wife
should spend a great deal of her time in
dressing and neglect her household du-
ties. L have children and do all my
housework, washing and ironing. But
with our work and children there is no
reasonable excuse for gross untidiness.
Married women must keep up with their
husbands regarding personal appearance,
manners and attractiveness. l have
known a most attractive young lady
degenerate into a most slovenly married
woman, while the husband remained the
same neat person she had admired be-
fore marriage.
Without his knowledge his feelings
were undergoing a change and in time
he regarded her with indifference, when
.e little care on her part could have
retained the love she had won.
| think that after we are sure that
we have acted we'll our part and then
they do not show us due respect we
should demand our rights and our chill
drens also. / don't think a woman
should sacrifice all her health. strength
and happiness for mans comfort with
no consideration. AS a rule a mother
has more anxiety than any other MEM
her of the family and neither husband
nor children will love her any more for
sacrificing everything for them. She
should be just to herself and not stay
at home and work until she feels there
is no time for anything else but work.
1 did not mean to preach sermon,
but / have not said half ] wanted to
say on the subject.
With love TO all.

ices at Coxington under Pastor Steele
L barely met President Few, but Dr.

THE cH1LD's NATURAL NURSE.

1t is unnecessary TO tell you that the
child's natural nurse is its own mother
and the material instinct is exceptional
" keen in finding unpleasant symptoms
when the baby is manifestly unwel, but
the mother who does not nurse her baby
and who relies upon the hired baby's
nurse to care for the child soon loses
that keen instinct of motherhood, just
as every human faculty grows dull by
disuse and neglect.
Maternal instincts hold no immunity
from becoming blunted. Our grandmoth-
ers who raised large families would not
allow a baby to cry and continue crying
without prompt investigation as to what
was hurting the complaining child. Now
adays you find mothers who will not
allow their own babies to nurse but
