Politeness in the Family Circle.
- By D0H0THF DIX.
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

The one thing that causes more
misery than anything else in the
world Is the lack of Just plain, or
dinary. common politeness IN the
family circle.
This sounds like an extravagant
statement. but It is literally true
| that more heartaches have been
caused by the lack Of politeness tn
the family. more tears have. been
shed over IL, more homes broken UP
by 1t, more wreck and ruin caused
by it than by war. drink and inf
deity all put together.
For war does not last forever.
Nobody is perpetually drunk. or for
ever philandering. These. at worst,
are episode. But our daily life with
those Of our own household Is for
ever with us. It is something that
We rise up and alt down with, that
We never escape from, and IL that
frets and gals us It is torture from
which there is no relief.
Our home life Is the more impor-
tant thing in the world to us. II
it is unhappy. nothing atones for 1t.
What are struggle, hard work, pow
erty. and lack of appreciation from
the outside world to the man and
woman who can shut the door OF
their home and find within II love
and tenderness. gentleness and ad-
miration? How empty the triumph
and success. how worthless the
money of the man and woman who
know that when they go home they
will meet only brutal criticism and
nagging. surliness and complaints!
We talk about home, sweet home. II
We sentimentalize over 1t and poet
ize' about it, but when millions OF
us sing that "there is no place like
home" we thank God for 1t. There
is still somewhere left for US to &c
where we can receive courteous treat.
ment. and have some consideration
shown to our feelings. .
Moralists and students OF social
conditions write learned essays about
the causes. Of divorce and the deca-
dence of family life. They talk about
economic causes and the trend OF
the times toward individualism, and
so on. Piffle. It's nothing but the
lack OF politeness in the family cir
Gle that bursts 1t into smithereens,
It's the impoliteness of husbands anc
wives and of brothers and sisters tC
each other; the impoliteness of par

that there is nothing else so merci
lessly cruel as the candor OF a neal
relation, and that your worst enemy
treats you with more courtesy than de-

This is why, when anyone says to US

famiiy, we never go. We don't want
to be treated as a member of the
family. We want to be treated as a
perfect stranger. Neither do we want
to be treated like anybody's mother or
son. father or daughter. We want the
consideration that would be shown TO
somebody else's parents and children.
The other day I was dining with
some friends and the little 6-year-old
son accidentally knocked over his
glass OF water. Instantly the mother
pounced on him in fury. scolding
him for his carelessness, calling him
a little Pig and finally sending him
away from the table.
The little fellow got up with his
baby face convulsed with grief and
shame. and as he climbed from his
chair he said:
Why don't you treat me like was
company, and say IL doesn't make any
difference like you did to Mr.. Blank
when he turned over his wine glass
last night?"
And I thought why not7 Why don't
we all treat the members of our
family as politely as IL they were
company? Why don't we use our
company manners every day, and
take as much trouble to be pleasant
and agreeable to those whose happi-
ness We make or mar as we do to
I chance acquaintance whom we shall
probably neser see again. and to
whom our attitude is a matter Of pro-
| found indifference? But We don't.
The brutality OF the conversation In
the average family circle Is something
to make even a savage shudder with
horror. Husbands and wives strip
each others souls bare of every rag
OF decent reserve and cry out their
knowledge of each others every fault
and weakness. Nothing is CLOSED
over. Nothing is left to silence as It
would be IL they were unmarried.
They act as IL a marriage license
| gave them carte blanche to be as rude
as possible to each other. and they
wonder why marriage IL a failure,

Leew's Columbia-sBIue BIaEes
Rawden.'

William S. Hart in his latest photo
play. "Blue Blazes Rawden." was the
feature at Loew's Columbia yesterday.
1t will be shown for the entire week
This new picture is something entirely
different from all other Hart vehicles.
This time the famous two-gun man is
Rawden, boss of a timber crew in the
woods of the Canadian Northwest. In
the spring Of the year he comes to
the nearest town. where he made
'Ladyfingers" Hilgard. owner of the
local hotel, and CANDLES with him
until he has won not only Hilgard's
personal possessions. but also Babette,
his woman companion. Hilgard has
the caps removed from the bullets in
Rawden's gun and then challenges him
to duel in a darkened room. Raw
den accepts. HilRard's bullets go wild,
so Rawden closes in on him and kills
him. The dead mans mother arrives,
and to save her feelings Rawden tells
her that her son was a good man.
Babette takes her revenge by telling
the truth to a younger brother of the
dead man, who shoots but does not
kill Rawden. As woodsmen are about
to string him up Rawden comes to the
rescue. Hart's performance in the
title role is the same Hart as of old,
but 1t shows an unexpected side which
he reveals in expression of baffled
rage and wonder as the old lady be-
slows her love upon him. The Hearst
Pathe News and other supplementary
reels are also shown.

The Midnight Trail" Is built
around a Jewel mystery. A young
lady whose father is a divine, en-
cages a detective to run down the
thief who is responsible for the dis
appearance OF many costly gems.
The real detective cannot take the
case at once, so by a clever ruse a
rich youth who has fallen desper-
ately in love with the rector's
daughter, undertakes the job under
an alias. 1t then develops that the
owner Of the jewels herself is the
culprit. hiding the lost. articles in
a different place each midnight

real detective puts in an appearance
at precisely the wrong time and by
bungling things generally puts
