In speaking to young men, once said:

And in this terse epigram the great
Frenchman stated a truth that applies
equally to struggling, ambitious
young men the world over.
Insomuch as you have yet your

KINDERGARTENS FOR PARENTS.
A Place'Wanted Where They May Learn
the Kurilin»nt» of Common Kenne.
Among the numerous educational Insti
tutions of which this eountry, and indeed
the world, are in,need, is a grownup kin
dergarten to which parents may lie sent
to learn the rudiments of common sense
and the simple laws of cause and effect
that, it would eeem, must naturally be pat
ent to the meanest intelligence. If the
father is selfish and fault finding nt home,
he has no right to expect his sons, with
his example constantly before them, to bo

bripful atstf good humored. If the-mother
pmct+cca deceit and equivocation, she
should not condemn her daughters for not
being truthful and sincere. Why should
a man who reads aloud and discusses in
the presence <rf his boys the police news
and reports of the details of murdersand
executions punish them for devouring
dime novels or other sensational fiction?
Why should a woman who customarily
adopts a scolding and complaining tone
reproach her girls for not being cheerful
and contented?
Parents have no right to expect a spon
taneous development of gcxxlness in a
child. If, with all their advantages of
age, experience and mastery of the situa
tion they habitually do tilings they ought
not to do, how is the child, ignorant, de
pendent and with their conduct as its con
stant model, to habitually do right? The
peevish voice, the deceitful word, the self
ish act, the ungoverned temper, are an al
most irresistible influence beside which
mere commands and penalties are futile.
Children have a keen sense of injustice,
and when they are punished for a fault
that their parents commit with impunity
the good and sufficient reason given for
the latter's exemption from the general
law—“l am your father, ” or “I am your
mother,” does not seem a good and suffi
cient reason to the victims of arbitrary
home legislation, or even to the unpreju
diced observer. Mere parenthood does
not imply infallibility. There is, unfortu
nately, no natural law which precludes
persons entirely unfit for the responsibil
ity from having children and misgovern
ing them. If you want your sons and
daughters to be gentle, generous, truthful
and broad minded, live up to that standard
yourself.

PERSONAL CRITICISM.
Candid Friends and the Weaker Side of
Humanity.
Few mon or women are strong enough
to endure adverse criticism, says a wise
observer. The desire for praise is uni
versal." The candid friend is a nuisance
therefore, and the harm she docs will nev
er be known until the secrets of all hearts
are revealed. Most of us want helping and
cheering along the uphill road. The world
outside is too busy and hurried to heed our
individual concerns, and if we cannot rely
upon our friends for the meat of encour
agement and for the oil and wine of sym
pathy we are in hard case indeed. But
the candid friend has no regard for the
weaker side of humanity. “Why should I
not speak the truth?” she argues. “It may
wound, but it is my duty to set you right

concerning this and that." And she goes
about the world i>erforming her self im
posed task to her own satisfaction and ev
erybody else’s hurt. Perhaps the glass at
which you look less frequently day by day
no longer shows you a satisfactory reflec
tion. Your hair is becoming thin; your
eyes lack luster; you have lost a tooth or
two; you are growing stout. You are per
fectly conscious of these trifles. They an
noy you, and you are glad to think of
them as little as possible, but unfortu
nately your candid friend knows them, too,
and she lets you know that she knows
them. You smile amiably at her as you
shake hands in farewell, but there Is rage
and resentment in your heart. Only a
small wound to your vanity, after all.
Granted, my candid friend, but it is not
necessary to go through the world sticking
pins into people, be those ever so tiny and
the tissue into which you insert them ever
so adipose. Sincerity is not synonymous
with brutality, and it is possible to ignore
unpleasant facts without the aid of false
hood or deceit.

GOOD MANNERS.
Jndto Cbollrt on the Occult Law of Trifle*
In Etiquette.
One of the worst breaches of etiquette
of which you can Ixi guilty is to attempt
to teach your acquaintances etiquette. If
you invite a friend to luncheon at a res
taurant, for instance, or accept her invita
tion, you thereby confess that a degree
of social equality exists between you and
her, and if she eats her oysters with an or
dinary fork Instead of with the trident that
has been specially provided for that pur-

pose it is not within your province to cor
rect her, unless she has previously recog
nized you as a guardian of her manners.
If she chooses to convey ice cream to her
mouth by means of a spoon instead of a
fork, let her do it unmolested, the matter
is not of the slightest consequence, and to
be in constant fear of transgressing some
occult law of etiquette one’s self or of as
sociating with persons who do so Is to
prove one's self not to the manner born
and by nature a snob. Even if your coun
try guest eats with her knife in public you
will prove yourself a provincial by paying
any attention to it. It happens to bo her
custom, to which she has been reared, and
if you have a cosmopolitan mind it will
be too insignificant a thing to worry you.
However technically perfect your own
manners may be, they will exhibit a glar
ing deficiency if you correct those of other
grown persons. Besides you are not sure
of infallibility, and it is not impossible
that you may occasionally rebuke a per
son who knows even more on the subject
than you do and is behaving quite proper
ly in the eyes of the cultivated world.
When she eats her cheese with her knife,
she is merely following the English habit,
and it is quite permissible to take olives,
corn, undressed lettuce and lump sugar in
the fingers. Again, many of the actions
that you consider faulty may be due to
the absence of mind engendered by lively
conversation, while others are accidents
to which anybody is liable.
Most persons whom one meets socially
have a sufficient knowledge of etiquette to
be at ease among the people with whom
they associate, and that is all that is neces
sary. A really well bred person never
rests her faith on such minute trifles as
the angle at which the knife is left or the
number of crumbs to be permitted to fall
from the piece of bread. Consideration
for others is the foundation of all good
manners, and the man or woman who
lacks that has mere affectation in the
place of tact and true politeness.
The sketch shows a gown of rose and
gold changeable silk. The skirt drapery
is of white mousseline de sole, the bodice
of white guipure, the sleeves and girdle of
old yellow satin and the two bows of
cherry velvet ribbon. ‘
NEATNESS IN DRESS.
Haste I» the Mother of Many Sins of Omis
sion and Commission.
These are the days when neatness in
dress goes under the name cf smartness,
says a common sense fashion writer, and
the smartly gowned woman owes her suc
cess to the fact that she makes everything
secure and tidy before she leaves her room,
invariably making a final careful scrutiny
of her attire as she stands, fully dressed,
before her mirror. She who boasts that it

■ never takes her a minute to dress may be
fully assured that there will bo abundant
b shortcomings in her raiment to bear wit
r ness to the truth of her statement. The
bonnet and dress covered with dust col
r looted during yesterday’s' walk; the veil
r : badly adjusted; hooks that seem to have a
- | mortal antipathy for their corresponding
• 1 eyes; luckless hairpins hanging, like the
f sword of Damocles, by a single hair. These
■ are some of the sins of omission or coin
, i mission that tell us she devotes insuffi
< elent time to her toilet. Believe me, you
i I may possess the most expensive of gowns,
i bonnets, boots and gloves, yet if they are
i improperly cared for and carelessly worn
your neat little neighbor, with her ‘‘made
b over” dress and her last year’s bonnet, will
r put you to shame in the matter of personal
I appearance. There is a gentility about her
- which brings her the most pleasing atten
i tions, and men and women alike pay her
• homage because she is so neat and trim.
She is a firm believer in that Ust hxik in
the mirror. If the mirror is a full length
one, so much the better, for things some
times go wrong with the lower part of a cos
tume, of which the wearer, looking down
i upon herself, is quite ignorant, but which
are perfectly evident to everybody else.
