HOW TO TALK.

In practicing conversation, don't
make the mistake of being always Sc.
rious or solemn.
Some people have an idea that con
versation must always and every
where be "a serious educative matter
They think that people should con-
verse only to improve their minds !;
to increase their knowledge. that
there should be no frivolity or light
ness about it. One might just as well
say people should go to theaters only
to study and be instructed; that they
must not go for enjoyment, for the
purpose of being entertained. In ac-
cordance with place and person the
changing of the tone of conversation
from grave to gay, from serious to
light and playful, is restful to the
mind
A popular society woman counsel
ing a debutante protege on behavior
is quoted as saying, Talk, talk, talk.
1t does not matter much what you
say, but chatter away lightly and
gayly. Nothing embarasses and
hores the average man so much as a
girl who has to be entertained.

CHILDREN LEARN MANNERS
FROM PARENTS.

Much of child's earliest education,
often the most valuable and most
enduring part, is that which is un-
consciously acquired at home, not by
precept or teaching but by imitation.
From the earliest beginnings of
learning the child is copying the
sights and sounds about him. This is
important in the religious training of
a child.
Thus he learns to speak his first
words, and from this time until he
begins his formal education in
school, and indeed through his entire
childhood, he is initiating the Ian
guage, manners, and emotions of the
older people about him. His be-
havior and opinions are undoubtedly
to some extent the direct result of
this copying of his elders. He will
repeat the tricks of speech and
manner which they constantly en-
ploy, says the Children's Bureau of
the United States Department of La
bor
PSOPAO
whose language is correct and agree
able, whose manners are pleasant,
who show always a thoughtful con-
sideration for others and whose be-
havior is gentle and kindly, he un-
consciously acquires similar ways
The habit of courtesy comes not
alone nor chiefly from direct instruc
ton, but from imitation. If child
sees that his elders are habitually
courteous in their association with
each other, if kindness and con
sideration for each other are the
habits of the home, these qualities
will inevitably stamp themselves up
on the child Good manners are an
invaluable asset to every person, but
good manners have their root anC
foundation in fine qualities of mind
and heart, and only the constant
daily exercise of them will help give
the children that charm of manner
which is such delight in persons o.
every age. The opposite qualities are
likewise initiated and help to produce
another sort of child.
Clearly, therefore, parents have al
enormous responsibility in moldins
and shaping a child into the kind o
man he is to be, for these early les
sons in conduct and manners ar
probably never quite eradicated
Men who as children were accustomet
to hearing uncouth language still
lapse in manhood into this fault, how
ever well educated they may have be
come, and the same is true of physica
mannerisms and even of the menta
attitude If child grows up among
people who are scolding, faultfnding
complaining or quarrelsome, he is a.
most sure to show a tendency t
these qualities, however much he ma,
learn to abhor them in later life.

A SANITY BROTHER AND SISTER

st. Scholastica, sister to the great
founder of the Benedictine Order,
consecrated herself to God from her
earliest youth. She founded monas-
teries one of which, at Plombariola,
she chose as her retreat after her
sanity brother had moved to Mount
Casino, five miles distant
Scholastica visited her brother once
a year. AS she was not permitted to
enter his monastery st. Benedict,
with some of his monks, went out to
meet her at house not far distant.
These visits were spent in prayer and
spiritual converse. A remarkable cir
cumstance is related of the last of
these visits.
The day had passed as usual, the
brother and sister had finished their
evening meal when Scholastica urged
her brother to delay his return until
the. following day.
st. Benedict, unwilling to transgress
his rule, asked that his sister would
not insist upon such a breach of mon
astic discipline. AS if forewarned that
this would be their last interview,
Scholastica laid her hands upon the
table and, resting her head upon them,
with tears begged of Almighty God
to interpose in her behalf.
The night was clear, but Scholas-
tica's prayer was scarcely ended when
there arose storm of such rain,
thunder and lightning that st. Bene-
dict and his companions could not set
foot out of door.
God forgive you, sister," he ex-
claimed; what have you done?"
Scholastica answered:
81 asked you for a favor and you
refused it me; l asked it of Almighty
God and He has granted it me-"
st. Benedict was therefore obliged
to comply with her request.
The next morning they parted and
three days after st. Scholastica died
in her solitude.
st. Benedict was then alone in con-
temptation on Mount Casino and
lifting up his eyes. to Heaven he saw
the soul iof his sister ascending
thither in the shape of a dove Filled
with joy because of her happy death
he gave thanks to God, announced her
death to his brethren, and caused her
remains to be brought to his monas-
terry and laid in the tomb he had pre-
pared for himself.
