BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. One ool place on hot Summer days was the vine covered porch at Nancy's home. She was so glad they had planned for something similar in the home they were building. As a place for entertain- | Ing the porch was ideal. Many friends dropped in and occa- sionally Nancy gave a real party. She was planning for a tea for a visiting friend and had invited a _dozen guests. They were to come for the afternoon | but not for lunch, so Nancy was trying to plan a menu for 4 o'clock refresh- She wanted something which would not take away all the dinner ap- petites and yet something which would | please them and prove refreshing. She finally decided on a salad and sandwich plate with a choice of iced tea or a combination of table cream and ginger ale. She used her large glass plates and arranged the service for each guest in this fashion—in the center was a small mold of jellied fruit salad. Three small triangles of bread were ranged around this center. One triangle was spread DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX ’ Importance of Teaching a Child Good Manners Is Shown With Results in All Spheres. DEAR MISS DIX—Can you give me some suggestions about how to teach my children courtesy and good manners? Answer.—Lucky children to hae a mother who realizes the importance of teaching them good manners, for good manners are a lefter of credit that the world honors at sight, and they' will carry a man and woman farther than talent, or industry, or all of the cardinal virtues. Better to endow a child with goodk manners and courtesy than to present it with a fortune. ‘The boorish, the uncouth, the brusque may have hearts of gold and clever brains, but we seldom find it out bacause we avold them as much as possible | #nd tim to the suave and pleasant and agreeable,who win our liking at sight. So, wise 1s the mother who teaches her children what to do and how to do it, what to say and how to say it and thus assures that her sons and daughters will be persona grata to their fellow creatures and have poise and what they call in business & good sclling address, instead of letting them grow up awkward and dumb and ill at ease in company. It i not too soon to begin teaching your children good manners in the cradle. Never let them form bad habits. “Teach even a baby to say “thank you” and to show some appreciation of what other people do for it, and the bene- fits of this will accrue to the youngster through life, because we all like to give and bestow favors on those who show some enthusiasm over our kindness and | more than their due and give no sign of gratitude. Next, teach your children to fake a gracious attitude' toward people. Teach them to make the conventional little polite speeches about being glad to meet lent that has been made. These speeches are the small change of courtesy tha { children, whereas we carry our prejudice against rude children over into their {manhood and womanhood. ‘Teach your children to answer. courteously when they are spoken to, espe- cially when they are addressed by their elders. The rude, tongue-tied, smart- they are spoken to by older people, will go through life making enemies and | rousing 1ll-will and resentment against themseives that it will take actual genius +to overcome. Teach your children to respéct other people's property. Don't let them wreck and destroy things at home and they will not do it abroad. All of us hate {with a venomous hatred the children who go through our houses like a cy- | clone, leaving,rack anc. ruin behind them, who tear up our fine books and | draw pictures ‘with pins on our old mahogany and spill ink on our expensive rugs.

CRAIG. . August 3, 1861.—While recent speeches in Congress and agitation in some newspapers in favor of removing the National Capital to the geographi- cal center of the United States are likely to have no result, so far as re- moval is concerned, Jocal interests here are becoming aroused because of the depressing influence such talk is hav- ing upon Washington city ang the Dis- trict of Columbia generally. It has bo- come custoniary lately for some persons to disparage this city, when in reality it is an exceedingly healthy place in which to live, and is fast becoming one of the most attractive cities in the country. The heat here in Summer is less op- pressive than in many of the cities with which it has been compared, and tne Winters are much milder. With its | wide streets and the prospeet of an in- creasing number of parks, Washington scems destined to become one of the ! most beautiful of the world's capiial | citles, not many vears hence. ‘When Congress shall second the ef- forts of the more enterprising local citizens to increase the city's railroad | facilities, Washington will doubtless | have as cheap markets as any city in the United States. The question of the ruitableness of this city for the National Capital, now and in the future, is intimately con- | nected with the movement, now in progress, for a consolidation of the citles of Washington and Georgetown. A prominent member of the Washing- ton municipal government, who signs himself “An Old Citizen of the New School,” says in a communication printed in The Evening Star today: “When the size of this city is con- sidered, Georgetown slould be regarded as a part of it. The dividing line be- tween the iwo is less marked than that which separates the seventh ward from the rest af Washington. Unite the two and our city would present a well im- proved street, 4!, miles long, a river { front of greater length, the terminus | of a great canal, two fine colleges, with medical departments of great efficiency and high reputation, a population of say 120,000 souls, and, in fine, every essential, as is now practically con- fessed, to give eclat to a great metrop- olis and to attract to its precincts, as permanent dwellers, the best people of | cvery section of the Union. | *“The consolidation of these two citics {in one municipality, as now proposed, ! will. of course, prove a measure of im- mediate economy. but i*s results in es- tablishing sympathy and co-operation | will very soon give a delightful impetus | 1o enterprise and prosperity.” | scalp dail FEATURES.” PARIS—Casual clothes are social necessities right now.

About midway in the short vista which “my dreamy vision took in, one small cireular island, profousely verdured, re- “posed upon the bosom of the stream. My position enabled me to include in » single view both the eastern and wes ern ends of the islet. and I observed a | singularly marked difference in their | aspects. * The latter was all one radiant | harem of garden beauties. It glowed | and blushed beneath the eve of the | slant sunlight. and fairly laughed with | flowers. The grass was short, springy. | <weet - scented and asphodel - inter - spersed.

A zomber, vet beautiful and peaceful gloom here pervaded all things. The trest were dark in color and mournful in form and attitude—wreathing them- selves Jnfo sad, solemn and spectral | shapes that conveyed ideas of mortal : sorrow and untimely death. The grass wore the deep tint of the cypress and | the heads of its blades hung droopingly. | and hither and thither among it were | many small. unsightly hillocks, low and | narrow, and not very long, that had the | aspect of graves, but were not, although | over and all about them the rue and | the rosemary clambered. The shade of the trees fell h(‘lv“_\'i upon the water and seemed to bury. itself therein, impregnating the depths of the clement with darkness. I fancied that each shadow, as the sun descended lower and lower, separated itself sullen- lv from the trunk that gave it birth, and thus became absorbed by the stream, while other shadows issued mo- mently from the trees, taking the place of their predecessors thus entombed. ‘This idea having once seized upon my fancy, greatly. excited it, and I lost my- self forthwith in reverie. “If ever island were enchanted,” sald 1 to myself, “this is it. This is the haunt of the few gentle fays who re- main from the wreck of the race. Are these green tombs theirs? Or do they vield up their sweet lives as mankind vield up their own? . In dying, do they not rather waste away mournfully, rendering unto God little by little their existence, as these trees render up shadow after shadow, exhausting their substance unto dissolution? What the wasting tree is to the water that im- hibes its shade, growing thus blacker by what it preys upon, may not the life of the fay be to the death which en- gulfs it2" As I thus musad, with half-shut eyes. while the sun sank rapidly to rest, and | " eddying currents careered round an round the island, bearing “Eon their bosom large, dazzling white flakes of the bark of the sycamore, flakes which, in their multiform positions upon the wa- ! ter, a quick imagination might have converted into anything it pleased; while I thus mused, it appeared to me that the form of one of those very fays | about whom I had been pondering made * jts way slowly into the darkness from out the light at the Western end of the | island.

One day, recently, the girl's mistress asked her to go down to the mail box and get what letters might be In The girl went down- stairs and was gone an unusually long time. Suspecting that something was wrong, the lady herself sought to find her. The girl was not in the hall nor any- where in sight. Going out to the side- walk she gazed up the street.

Rushing up to her, she frantically explained that the box belonged to Uncie Sam, and forthwith escorted her back to the house. * ok ok Many stories entitled “Now it can be told” have been printed since the war.
