Ruth did not appear at all agttated
by the presence of Nathaniel Smith,

a light apology for the fact that it
was moist from handling the flowers,
then went about her work.

as she did not look up, he fastened
it himself on the lapel of his coat.

In spite OF which statement she
left her flowers long enough to cross

great and perfect wor +, and where
they should function the whole year
round instead of only during good
manners week.
We talk a great deal about home,
sweet home and the sanctity OF the
home, and the sacred influence OF the
home, and most of the home stuff Is
bally rot. Tho average home isn't
sweet. IL isn't peaceful, and there is
nothing sacred about it. 1t is a place
OF storm and strife, and temper and
nerves, and nagging, ana rudeness,
and everybody in II wants to get
away from 1t. And the children do
get away from 1t just as soon as they
can.
The whole trouble with the home is
bad manners. Nobody considers it
necessary to be courteous to their
nearest and dearest. Nobody even
dreams OF being as considerate of the
sensibiiitles OF the members OF their
own family as they are TO perfect
strangers. Nobody takes tho trouble
to pay the little compliments, say tho
little pleasant things. or show he ap-
preciaion OF the things done for their
happiness and comfort that they
would to outsiders.

When Johnny and Mamie go visiting

The remedy for the whole domestic
situation is the practice of good man

family would just be plainly, decent

more to stop divorce and keep young
people at home taan any other one

CHAPTER XVI

On the fourth day after Kenneth
Lang had sent letters to his mother
and Victoria Walsh he went down
stairs for the first time since his
accident.
The journey was not accomplished
without difficulty. He was still
weak. and any sudden movement
produced pain in his injured arm and
shoulder.
III the weather was cool. you might
be more comfortable in your room.
DIR. Grant remarked when he sug-
gested his patients moving But
it's turning very hot again. and up
here it's much warmer than it is
on the lower floor. Moreover, you
need the fresh air. The side porch
is screened and shaded and you can
sit there or lie there or the settee
for hours at time. Would you
like to try it?"
Kenneth answered eagerly that he
would indeed like to try it. While
his room was as comfortable as
any upper room in a small house can
be in midsummer, yet he longed to
get out of it for a few hours.
But won't ! be in your way
or in Miss Grants way--if | spend
tho entire day on your porch?" he
questioned.
Not bit" his host replied. THE
porch l speak of is away at one
side where you will not be seen from
tho street There's the parlor and
the front piazza where Ruth can sit.
il she wants to, and where she can
see any visitors who happen 20 come.
As to my callers''--with a smile
they are patients who stay right
in the office till l finish with them"
On the Vernnda
Thus it came about that on Thurs
day morning Kenneth was installed
in a great chair on the vine-screened
veranda. Although the exertion of
coming down here had increased his
pain, he smiled with pleasure I the
greepness and comfort OF his new
quarters. The smell of freshly
mown grass came to his nostrils.
mingled with the scent of roses out
side his retreat.
This is ideal," he declared when
he was settled in his chair. his feet
on a cushion. And 1t is good to
be dressed again."
His host had helped him in the
process of putting on his clothes and
shaving.
Il have given you a lot Of trouble
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1922-12-30

Fine idea! Push It along for all it
is worth! But why put time limit
on good manners? Why not make
them continuous performance? Why
keep good manners, as provincial
people do their Eunday clothes, just
for occasional wear, and for dress UP
occasions2
1t is curious how little attention
we pay to the cultivation of good
manners when we all realize what 4
great asset they are. for there is no
one SO ignorant as not to know the
value of good manners. There Is no
one such an insensible clod as not
to feel and respond to the attraction
of good manners.
Gets you By
The reason playwrights and nov
elists depict their Williams as having
polished manners is because man
with good manners can get away
with anything short of murder.
Every confidence man has good man
ners as his stock in trade, or else
he would never persuade us into buy
ing his gold bricks. and wildcat"
stocks. Every one of us Is helping to
support some lazy ne'er-do-well SIM
ply because we cannot resist his or
her good manners.
A husband who continues to treat
his wife with the galiantry that he
showed her before marriage; who
remembers to pay her compliments,
and pull out her chair for her at
the table, and pick up her handker-
chief, may beat her and starve her
and she will consider that Lady Luck
was her bridesmaid when she got
married. The first thing that an
astute business man considers in
hiring a new employee Is his manners,
and he figures that a good address
covers a multitude OF other shortcom-
ings.
On the other hand the man and
woman who have brusque, unpleas-
ant manners have handicap against
which they struggle in vain. They
may have hundred times the abil-
ity and the sterling worth of the
good hammered, but they never get
their Just deserts, because kissing
goes by favor. and people do a good
many things for us because they like
US that they would not do for us
because it is our due.
We Are Antngonized
The i'll hammered antagonize us
at the moment of meeting. They
tread all over our delicate sensibili-
ties with their brutal feet. They
wound our vanity to the quick, and
we simply steer clear of them, and
hate them for offenses against us
that they do not even know they
have committed. 1t may be that at
heart they are good and kind. and
tender and loving, but the outside of
the fruit is so priclzly that we don't
bother to get at the inside of it.
OF the value of good manners in
business, it is superfluous to speak.
When we pick out our lawyer. or doc
tor or dentist, 80 times out of 100 we
go to the one we do, not because
of his peculiar skill and knowledge,
but because he has an agreeable per-
sonality lie has made himself charm
ing to Us on some occasion, and so
when We need professional skill we
appeal to him.
For the same reason we patronize
certain shops. The thing that catches
and holds us is not the marked down,
bargain sale, but the good manners
of some clerk who makes US feel
that she is interested in serving us
instead of her wearing the air of a
grand duchess condescendins to be-
stow favor on mental.
