MANNERS.

Manners are a pleasant deceit--a
conspiracy to rob existence Of much
Of its crudity.
Because of them the elusive element
IF charm fingers in the world, and
gentler natures are encouraged TO
their robust growth.
A lot Of efficient people, tho. have
discarded manners as so much unnec-
essary impediments.
Why rise when a lady enters the
room? Why appear interested when
others talk? Why ask to be remem-
bered to people you have hitherto for
gotten? Why thank anyone for giving
You what you have paid for
There is not much reason or logic
behind it all. 1t is merely that with
the finer natures there is an instructive
courtesy that expresses itself in man
ners.
just as with so many others there is
an instructive lack Of courtesy which
finds expression in boorishness
Manners are not useless.
They prevent you from giving
thoughtles hurt to others. They make
you remain silent when Chopin is be-
ing played.
Good manners come from a good
heart.

He's Reasonable
Whether Serving
Souls or Bodies

Chicago, Nov. 21.-Patrons of the
Greenwood cafeteria have been Won
dering how the proprietor could serve
sweetbreads and chicken la king
for 25 cents, candied sweet potatoes
and raviola for dime and coffee with
real cream for a iitney and still make
the place go.
The explanation was found in an
interview with the new proprietor,
the Rev. Emil Burk, pastor of Au-
burn Park tabernacle. He says it IS
possible to be a sincere minister of
the gospel and good business man
at the same time.
The Rev. Mr.. Burke refuses to ac-
cepl salary from his congregation.
He wants to prove that he can live in
dependently of the church and give
his services free to the flock.
He is assisted in his restaurant,
which is developing a capacity trade,
by his wife. who is chief commissary
and also oversees the cooking and by
his daughter, who is cashier.
Il believe in giving people fair
deal" said the Rev. Mr.. Burk. MY
prices are pre-war prices and ! find |
can make them still lower and still
derive a profit from the business. The
Lord has wonderfully blessed this en-
terprise. If he sends more customers,
| can make prices still lower.
Other cafe men say the Rev. Mr..
Burk's idea and ideals are all right
but he will change both after the bust
ness agents of the Cooks and Walters
unions wait upon him and the "educa-
tional committees" of various other
unions give his place course or two
of treatment.
