SUPPOSE SHE WAS YOUR
DAUGHTER9

Editor Silver State: The other
afternoon heard a sad, sad story
from a broken-hearted and broken
spirited girl-wife. 1t seems though
some accident and Misunderstanding,
plus plenty Of neighborly srEpicions,
whisperings. she has become the
goat" Of friendly COZ gossip.
I have known the girl for many
years and there is not a more willing,
accommodating, cheerful girl any
where, and she is absolutely as good
as gold and a splendid neighbor.
Until now she has never had one
word said against her and to me 1t Is
crime the way her neighbors NAL
treat her with their tongues. Space
will not permit me to 60 into details,
but here is part of what she said to
me in confidence, poor girl. I'm glad
she feels she has one friend In me
who will stay with her through
thick and thin. She said:

life Is cruel and SO often the question

just about got to the end of my rope

one of my supposed friends, has prov

hope that some day I would see my
hopes, ambitions and iongings real

Why Manners Are important.

Manners are pleasant deceit--a
conspiracy to rob existence of much
Of its crudity.
Because of them the elusive ele-
ment Of charm fingers in the world
and gentler natures are encouraged
In their robust growth.
A lot of efficient people. though
have discarded manners as SO much
unnecessary impediments.
Why rise when a lady enters the
roomf Why appear interested when
others talk1 Why ask to be remem-
bered to the people you have hitherto
forgottenf Why thank anyone for
giving you what you have paid for7
There IL not much reason or logic
behind It all. It Is merely that with
the 6ner natures there Is an instinc.
tive courtesy that Expresses itself In
manners.
Just a. with 30 many others there
IL an instructive lack Of courtesy
which finds expression In boorishness.
Manners are not useless.
They prevent you from giving
thoughtless hurt to others. They
make you remain silent when Chopin
10 being played.
Good manners come from q good
heart.-LOndon Express.
