Good Manners Help. 7 A merchant who returned from England J ust before the war broke out has been .voluble ever ‘since on the maimers of thh children he to meet abroad. Apparently American parents and schools’do not lay on good manners the emphasis that they receive abroad. Yet good manners, like the gold at the foundation of all money, are current the World oyer. . Emerson noted this: “Give a boy dress and accomplishments, and you give him the mastery Of palaces and fortunes wherever he goes. He has not the trouble to earn or own them; they solicit him to enter and possess.” “All your Greek,” Chesterfield wrote to his son, “can never advance you from secretary to envoy or from envoy to ambassador, but your address, your air,' your maimer, if good, may.” “The difference betweeu a well bred and ill bred man is this,” v Samuel Johnson said: “One immediately attracts your attention, the other your aversion. Yqu love one until you find reason to hate him; you hate the other until you find reason to love him.” Civility, polished miners, mean much to a youth in his first position.— Kansas City Star. \
