With Vegetables.
You can do something really
quite wonderful with sweet pota-
toes. scooped out on one side. filled
with water, and hung up In the
light TO sprout.
This sounds, doubtless. like the
suggestion about making an easy
chair out Of an old apple barrel.
But the results of the sweet potato
are really quite lovely, and II you
are interested in experimenting
with new sorts OF growing things.

Silence That =
= Is Golden

ITO SOME persons to say that
person is noisy is just an
other way of saying that he
is i'll bred. Noisiness goes hand In
hand with pad breeding, and il
really seems as if one of the things
that mankind acquires as he
achieves civilization is a degree OF
silence, or at least he learns TO
control his noisiness. The savage
calls and halloos and shrieks TO
express his emotions, whereas if
the civilized man uses his lungs
he does so in a regulated way and
calls ii singing. In the ordinary
little everyday activities of life ne
tries to go his way noiselessly.
The man who wears creaky shoes
or heels that thump every time he
takes a step, who slams doors and
bangs the furniture as he goes
about is usually not a we'll bred
man.
But the activity above all else
in which well bred men and
women are supposed TO be abso-
lutely noiseless is in eating. In
the serving of our meals we pro-
vide for perfect silence. The
cheap. ill-managed restaurant
gives forth a constant din and
lclatter of dishes and china. The
walters call out the orders and
there is general noisiness. The
perfectly appointed dining room is
ESPECIALLY designed to eliminate all
noises. Walters and mattresses
learn TO move silently and to
handle dishes so that there is no
clatter.
So too in determining the cor
rect and the incorrect way of man
aging our knife and fork or of
eating any Sort of food we always
choose in favor of the noiseless
way. We take tea or coffee from
cup and soup from spoon in
the way in which we are least
likely to utter a slipping noise. We
handle our knife and fork in the
way in which we are least likely
to let them scrape against the
! plate. Children naturally make Z
: great deal of noise about their eat
! ing. We do not always realize
/ that it is only as the result Of con.
, siderable effort on our own par
+ that we have arrived at our pres.
! ent condition of noiselessness.
r 1t would not be too much e
say that the ability to remain
silent when necessary is the tes
of good breeding. The man O
woman who shifts noisily about il
his chair in a public place, wht
! whispers and drops his program
. sighs aloud and shufiles his fee
: at the theater, is lacking in gooi
breeding. So too the man o
woman who makes no effort t.
suppress a yawn or a sneeze
! just a little deficient in breeding

LITTLE PLEAsANTNEssEs

The woman who always has
trouble with her servants is pretty
sure to be the woman who hasn't
learned the delicate art of paying
compliments. The business man
who frequently loses a we'll
trained stenographer right in the
middle of his busiest season is the
man who hasn't learned the knack
of letting his employees know when
he is pleased with their work. The
club woman who has the reputa-
ton of being coneeited may not
as a matter Of fact be much of an
egotist, but she never gives other
women the satisfaction of letting
them know that she admires their
methods as well as her own. And
