Surely good peo ple’s manners are no worse than those of bad people—^ln fact, th#y are ! better. *1 know that,” she returned, when i made this protest, yet one does ; expect better things of people—at least of respectable people—than one * tlnu s finds. I have thought of It often since then—-especially in public places— as I have watched well-dressed, in telligent-looking men and women ■ and noted their lack of courtesy—of course one sees this, especially in the public conveyances. 1 am sorry to say that I often have cause to blush for my own sex. When I see men rise that women may be seated— (yes! they do this sometimes!)—ono woman out of three, perhaps, will say, “Thank you!” Watch the Women. Do you doubt this statement? Then watch the well-dressed women and girls on the crowded cars at the rush-hour. A man who is, it may be, tired after a day’s work, rises and motions to a girl stading chatting and giggling with a friend, to sit I down. Still giggling, she says to her i friend, "Don’t you want that seat?” RhATz I DUNY MAKE No BoneN.

She certainly did not thank him. There are, of course, many in- ! stances in which the woman who re- | ceives this attention does say “Thank | you!” or."You are very kind!” or "I am much obliged to you!” 1 am not in a position to say how often' a man receives such return for his courtesy, but many of the men whoni I have consulted on this matter tell me that the woir ^ who utter nqi I word of acknowleQ ft ^ )t in such in stances are more numerous thai) Cowardly Desmond Refuses to Meet Our Young Hero in Fair Fight Dauntless Durham of the U.

It is an “every-man-for-him- self” skirmish, and if one would ‘not be jostled out of the way, one must go with the mass. So I do not criti cise that state of affairs, as the cour teous and discourteous are all in one mad scramble bent. But the cars and the shops are often places where the bad manners of the people who are> at least, good-looking are conspicu ous. Watch them rush into the swing- doors of the shops, heedless of the person coming behind who may be struck by the heavy door as it slams shut; notice the women who push others aside at counters; observe the customers who are disagreeable to the saleswomen (we will not dis cus*? the saleswoman herself—there is not room for that); note the peo ple in line at the box-oflice window who do not respect the place of each person, and who will, if the op portunity arises, “steal a place,” thus getting to the window ahead of the man whose right it was to get there first. Yet most of these are respectable, seemingly kindly folk. As to offenses in the drawing room, the dining room and fire offlc»3 —there is time to do no more than touch upon these. All of us know' the person who inquires, “What kind of work are you doing now? Why did you change from your last, position?” or who even asks. “Are you making as much money at your new job as you did at your last?” Those Who Forget. We all know the people who for get to answer invitations, who corns late to dinners, who are never punc tual at any appointed time and place. Perhaps all those thoughtless deeds and speeches may not be termed ac tual rudeness, but if "Politeness is to do and say The kindest thing in the kindest way," we may insist that people who do the things that we have mentioned are at least hardly kind. We are not discussing the big discourtesies, rough speeches, disgust* ingly bad manners, outrages against good breeding. But one wonders if many excellent people might not pav more heed to the trifles, the little considerations which, in public — private, are the drops of‘oil in the machinery of life that make it run smoothly and without jar.

Farmer Jenkins believed In the good old-fashioned idea of giving all the farm hands and laborers a real good Christmas feed at the festive season. So he determined to give them something to remetnber la*st year, and ordered the feast to start with soup, to be followed by goose, roast beef and unlimited supplies of plum pudding. The farm hands duly assembled, and. having fasted all day so as to be in good trim for the Christmas feed, were prepared to make the supplies look foolish. Roast goose and beer were all they expected. “ ’Ere, what's this ’ere?” said a dis appointed son of toil when a huge plate of soup was placed before him. “ You’ve forgotten the goose and stuf a fin'; I don't wan' all gravy!” I wR 1 l ! 1/
