COURTESY.

One Of the cheapest things in thu

training Or perhaps, one should say
that any person could become measur-
hbly courteous, for there are degrees
In courtesy as in many other phases OF
human existence and comparatively
few can arrive at the stage Of complete
courtesy.
But it is easily possible to recognize
between person with only moder-
te degree of courtesy and one who has
hot the first instinct of courtesy. The
Former treats his fellow man with some

puted by certain English literary critics, who say
that Service born in England and nurtured in
Scotland, wherefore he should be reckoned among

If there is be scrutiny in these matters
Canada may have to abate some of her claims We
cannot at the same time claim as Canadians men
like Service, Gibbon. Kirby, Watson Drummond

their literary work was done in Canada. and the
same time such Canadian born writers as Gilbert
Parker, Bliss Carman. Robert Barr, Basil King Grant

Every mother thinks her children
are better than anybody else's, but
not many of the wives feel that way
about their husbands.
A fashion note from Paris says the
skirts are to be fuller. This must
be pretty discouaging to the scouts
who are trying to reduce the amount
in theirs.
A girl friend asks whether one
freckles through paint, but we guess
the only way for her to find out Is
to wait and see.
Every man objects to carrying his
wife's bundles, but SOME of them do
The Alaska daily empire., 1922-04-04

not object occasionally to toting a
package of their own.
Another reason why man objects
to telling his wife the truth and
nothing but the truth is because he
hates to see her so unhappy.
Our idea of a good girl to pick for
a wife is one whom the modern youth
considers too slow She may be slow
but she's sure
We suppose we will have to be
resigned to the women smoking, but
we are willing to bet tobacco never
will take the place of gum and the
rag when it comes to their chewing.
The girl who marries a man to get
rid of him knows what she is about,
for after the honeymoon she knows
he will spend lbs days at the office
and his nights at the club.
A lot of married men who never
touched moonshine can testify to the
terrible effects of too much moon
