Bad ill/lannerc

Not Alli-Alike

Some Are Merely the Lack of Knowledge of Anything Better.

manners are simply what we;

might call unculuvstpd man-4
here. Those bad manners indicate,
no lack of dignity. or consideration
for other people. They do not indi-
cate innate awkwardness or clumsi-
noss. All they indlrato is that the

a GOOD many cxamples of bad!

.rorsons who have them have never

( nme very much in contact with poo-I
pie who have devoted time to the,
cultivation of graceful manners.
Sometimes we call this sort of thing,
a "provincialisrn." and .we speak of!
the person who err: in this regard:
as being provintinl or rustic. These:
words. however. apply only to thei
uncultivated manners of the rural
sections. There are Just as many
"provincialisms" of the city. It is
really a mistake to think that the
country man or woman need have
less cultivated manners. Perhaps at
one time this was the case. but now-
adays country breeding has nothing
to do with it.‘ There ought to be
some word like "provfncislism" to
apply to the uncultivated manners
peculiar to certain city people.

Nothing to Be Ashamed oi.

Now. as a. matter of fact. these
uncultivated manners are nothing
to be ashamed of. You may have
acquired the habit in your home of
tucking your napkin into your dress
or waistcoat There is nothing
gross or disgusting about the prac-
tice nor is it something that shows
lack of consideration for other per-
sons. The only thing one can say
afimt it is it a local custom. that it
is not done by persons who have had
opportunity to see the world and mix
with other people.

You need not be ashamed of such
a habit. nor ashamed of your role-
tives if they persist in it. But it
you are mingling socially with per-
sons who have acquired their man-
ners in a more emails: atmos-

ere will be ng your

lots at manners like this, and most
persons change them as an uncon-
scious matter of imitatlon.

11.. Kind That um.

Then there is another sort of bod
manners that even the most cosmo-
politan of people may commit.
These are the bad moors that are
due to lack of consideration of
others. We es: it is ill-bred to
crowd our way into public convoy-

 

 

 

eries. derivod from their word for
”1-3 left hand—that are simply due
to clumsiness and awkwardness.
Sum- peoplu lunc- to Firiizg‘o mtst
against this kznl of bad manners.
There ar’ the faults peculiar to an-
other class of persons,

if you want to mend your man-

ners, start in by finding out in which|

group of faults yours lie. “'hmm-or
the cause. remember that persistent

bad manners will prove a liumlicnp‘

to any career. and surcesstul man-

ners have often carved success out‘
of what would otherwise be a. ralht‘l"

mediocrcl life.

Do You Talk

House?

a WOST as tiresome as the per-

 

son who talks shop is the per‘

son who talks house. The per-
son with this bad habit very often is
a tyro at housefurnishing and house
decanting. To. him it seems as if
this idea of taking pains over mak-
ing rooms attractive and expressive
and soul satisfying is something
new. that no one ever thought about
until this generation. 80 he tells
you of his lpng searches for just the
right sort of desk, of his wrangle
with the peperhanger to get just the
right shade of paper even if it had
to be made to order. of his sleepless
nights over the question of chinta.
of his difficulty in getting his win-
dow seat low enough and broad
enough. the general stupidity of peo-
ple who make electric natures. etc.
etc.

It he has had a well-known deco-
rator “do" his house or apartment.
he does not fail to inform you at
this fact. and when he shows you
the result he speaks with awed
reverence.

Now the fact really is that culti-
vated people have always sought to
have attractive interiors. To try to
keep out of their houses the things
that are commonplace. crude or in-
appropriate comes to be a matter or
course—something that they do not
think meet to talk about. ‘lt they
achieve an effect that pleases them
they wait for you to praise it. it
they consult a well-known decorator
they do it as they would consult a
specialist in medicine, law or engi-
neering. They do not penmt the
specialist in decorating actually to
dictate the entire course of their life
indoors to them. refusing to place
a chair or an ornament anywhere
but where the decorator lett it.

prived of beef because it is not

good for those who show certain
tendencies in health. You may be
deprived of pork because it is not
easily digested. YOu may be de-
prived of such daisties as liver and
sweetbreads because they are not
good for you. You may be deprived
of almost every form of flesh food.
But probably you won't be deprived
or chicken.

‘and cook not only because it can be
eaten with relish and safety by al-
most everybody, but also because it
may be prepared in dozens of differ-
ent ways without undue trouble.
Here are some of the unusual and
delicious ways of cooking it that are
worth trying:

One girl collected paper fans from

friends who traveied, and she alwm
asked them to invest a small amount
of money in paper fans for her.
And whenever she went any place
she herself brought a paper tan and
added it to a collection which. in
course of time. became very inter-

Tomato Red

AMONG the much-talked-about

 

new colors is love apple rod.

which probably wouldn't seem
hair so interesting if you called it
tomato color instead of by the name
which our grandmothers used for
this popular mtable.

There was a curious superstition
connected with the tomato is the
days or our grandmothers or our
greatograndmethers. according to
our age and the localities which we
came from. They believed that the
tomatoes were poisoned. Being as
Ilrmly convinced of this fact as we
are that a copperheed‘s veno- is
poison. they never put the W-
tion to the test. and they had some
vague idea. that the tomato was
peculiarly potent in love sitairs.
Perhaps they thought that witch-Is
brewed potions of it. or love philtcrs.
in the days when witches lived and
did such things.

The explanation of their sum-
tion is after all simple. The floors

late Spain. There the Marne
