Pleasant Evening Reveries—A Column Dedi cated to Tired Mothers as They Join the Home Circle at Evening Tide. We hear a great deal about the inadequacy of old fashion ed methods to deal with modern problems but often we wish that the modern mother might adopt a few old fashioned ways of training. At least that Is the best remedy we can can suggest for inducing the children to take up once more a few of the courtesies which have unfortunately become so rarely used to be consideted old fashioned. One of the courtesies which has become sadly forgocten is the respect that is due old age. You see this lack every where, but more in the cities, perhaps, because there is more opportunity. Old people are jostled about on the street cais the same as anyone else and they are shoved from pillar to post quite regardless of their inability to take care of them selves. There is no need of trying to plant this respect for the aged into a child’s mind after he is grown. It is something that must be taught him from babyhood and it would be a good thing for America’s manhood and womanuood if more moth ers would realize this. Growing old gracefully is a thing which most people, wo men especially, find it very difficult to do, Yet it adds so much to the charm of approaching age that it seems strange more of us cannot form the habit. Someone has said that blossom time cannot last forever—it must pass for all of us, and to try to stay it only hinders the seed time and the harv est, each of which are quite as satisfactory if we can but ac quire the faculty of growing old gracefully. Any display of personal feelings or emotions in public is very bad taste to say at least, but there are a great many peo ple who don’t seem aware of this. They tel! all their family affairs and personal history for every one to hear. Many hus bands and wives scrap so much in public we can’t help won dering what sort of prize fights they hold in private. An other thing is all this “spooning” which we see so much. We understand the new word for this is “petting,’’ but our readers will understand what we mean. Can’t someone im piess on these enamored young things what fools they are making of themselves? It seems not. Experience is a bit ter teacher but a thorough one. With every approaching season we think that one is our favorite and just now we are all looking forward with keen enjoyment to the keen hazy days of fall. Fall days are such appetizers with their first tinge ot sharpness in the air. And fall colors are so gorgeous, all the golden brows, the reds and the deep purples. Yes, just now, fall seems to many of us our favorite season, though we may be fickie and change again in a few months where we feel the stir ot spring as “an instinct within us that reaches and towers.” Sometime! we get out patience with the people whose feel ings are, as we look at it, too easily hurt. Consequently we prepare to ride rough shod over those feelings and see if we can’t harden them up a bit. But we never do. We only make them more tender. We cannot judge what created those tender feelings in the first place, so we are rather pre suming ou our position when we attempt to cure them. If we have any sensitive spots in our own feelings we know what it means to have them stepped on, so let us be a little careful in regard to the feelings of others. .™ ♦ " APPROPRIATE GOOD WISHES.
