Vo,,rce1f And the Kids,

You fathers who have young sons
il YOU want the lads to be chummy
with you, you have got to treat the
boys like real pals.
If YOU are cross, bossy and arbl-
trary with them they are gong to
prefer other company.
Even at the best you can do, they
will want to get out in the world OF
society their own age, therefore, the
best way to interest them in your
self and make them forget the differ
ence in agesis to- get acquainted.
Take the boys into your con-
fdence intimately.
If you go for hike, find out
where the boys want to go.
Give that little growing man a
chance to increase his ideas of the
world by using some OF his ideas III
regards to your walks together or
on his vacation.
No use to pump in things in which
he has absolutely no interest.
Find out what your boy does like.
and then lead him along to take in
some of the things you like, and get
together that way, not by ordering
him to take what you select for him
or get nothing.

A boy from a family who never
recognized the need for good man
ners within the home was sent
away about . year ago by devoted
sodmother TO military school. lie
returned recently upon his first va
cation.
So respectfully did he arise when
mother and sister entered the din
ing room that the coatless. unshaven
father and older brother did not
have the courage 20 laugh at him.
The habit OF taking IS minutes be-
fore each meal TO make himself pre-
sentabie had become part OF the boy.
And just about now the others have
caught the spirit. Perhaps in a
couple of weeks from now they will
wear their coats and soft collars as
a mark OF respect 10 the faithful
little mother producer Of the family
meals.
And when you go to visi. in The
other woman's home-do you re.

Butter Letter" after you leave: This
may take the form OF a few hand
written lines genuinely thanking the
hostess for her hospitality. No mat
ter what walk Of life guest oc-
cupics il is expected that this letter
come.
I don't blame hostess who told
a pale-white lie over the phone
when she said there was no one
at her house to receive a certain
young man. Mr.. Young Man spent
three weeks at this woman's home
last summer. When the time ar
rived for him to depart. he care.
fully folded his bathing suit and
casually remarked--"Wcll. so long
latter all--ther' amt nothin' like
the CITY,"
He lacked the courtesy TO write
the hostess--he made no effort to
give little treat in the way Of a \
couple Of theater tickets to the two
ladies who had entertained him so
hospitably-he was just thought
less. ill-bred young man and he
wanted the world to know it.
Sometimes, of course. it is the hos
tess who displays bad manners. A
rather well-to-do young matron in
vited young woman to take din
ner with her at her country estate.
The guest was a bit dusty from
travel and straightway went to clean
up a bit. After 10 minutes of toilet
making. the guest fastened to the
dining room only to see the hostess
presiding at the table with her hair
done in curl papers and the rest of
the family eating voraciously. - The
guest had not even Leen appriscd of
the fact that dinner was served"
Yet, I honestly believe that these
s-'ts did not intend to offend. They
were just ignorant of the simple
laws of etiquette.

most come to blows concerning the S
adoption of q little Polish emigranti
