From the house opposite had

Are You Well Bred?

OF coure you may not want to be
we'll bred. Some people don't But
YOU ought to know whether you are
or not, just the same. Then If you
ARE we'll bred, and don't want to
be. YOU can cure yourself of the
habit. If you are NOT we'll bred,
you can be better bred, which isn't
the punning bakery advertisement
that it sound like.
We recently tried to find out if we
were well bred by taking p tests
which we found in a magazine. We
failed. We passed about so per
cent of the tests and flunked the
rest of them.
We thereupon decided we would
get up some tests of our own-tests
that would really tell US something
about ourselves. Here they are:
Are you clumsy? Do you al
ways trip over the umbrella stand
when as a guest you enter a house?
Do you spill the soup on the table
cloth? Do you eat food with a
knife that is obviously intended to
be eaten with the fingers?
Are you rude? Do you say,
"Rotten," when your hostess asks
you how you like the corn fritters?
Do yon sniff at the butter before
you spread it on your bread?
3.-Are you dishonest? Do you
slip knives and forks in your pocket
and take them home with you? Do
you pick the pockets of other
guests?
Are you quarrelsome? Do you
get into heated arguments with
your fellow guests, and threaten TO
knock their blocks off if they don't
agree with you about the League of
Nations, or if they think Gov. Cox
will have a chance in 1924?
5.-Are you gabby? Do you do
all the talking and refuse to listen
TO any one else?
6.-Are you sullen? Do you sit
in a corner and refuse TO say any
thing but, law beat It outa here"
when anybody addresses you?
Are you a tight wad? Do
you find an errand in the telephone
booth when the waiter is due TO
bring the check? Do you always
wait 10 reach for the car fare till the
other fellow has paid it7
S.-Are you disputatious? Do
you always insist that every state
ment made by anybody else is based
on ignorance or misinformation? Do
you invariably pull out a FIVE dollar
bill when for example a man says il
will be a cold winter and offer to
bet him that il won't?
9.-Are you slovenly? Do you
like to sit around the house in your
stocking feet when there is COM
pany?
1O.-Are you lazy? Do you keep
right on sitting down when ladies

come into the room. and let them
pass their own cake at afternoon
teas?
11.-Are you boastful? Do you
tell a room full of people in loud
tone OF voice that you could buy and
sell the whole gang and not think il
worth while TO record the trans
action?
12.-Are you tactless? DO you
ask ladies who have had family mis-
fortunes whether il was the peni-
Tertiary or the county Jail that
their brother-in-law was sent 20 in
1915, and how much time he got of
for good behavior?
13.-Are you incorporate? Do
you come into a strange house ask
ing the hostess TO call you early be-
cause you are to be the Queen OF
the May?
14.-Are you addicted TO flattery d?
Do you tell a woman who is obvi-
ously so years old that she looks
like a mere child and ask her what
boarding school she is attending
Do you insist that a very plainly
furnished house is far more sump-
tuous than the Vanderfeller man
sion, where you dined last week.
15.-Are you rough Do Won sian
