My flancec and T think that we can be marrled in two years, but it may take longer than that before my family is well fixed. I know that mother is opposed to the match, as she claims I am too young. Could you kindly advise me what to do? Does my duty to my folks come first or my own happiness ? W. L M. Both of you can well afford to wait two years, or even more. Of course, you owe a duty to your family and you ought to perform it happlly. I do not/think your mother would want you to sacrifice your- self, but I think she simply feels that a young man as young as you owes it to him- self to get a good start in the world before marrying. fs not a question of which comes first, self or family, but, Instead of that, the need of tactfully and sensibly com- bining your duty toward your parents with vour duty toward yourself.

N “Good manners are the pleasant way of doing things,” says an aphor- ism well worth noting. E In the rugged democracy on which { a good many people pride themselws,' charm of manner has lost its ancient prestige. \We have a Bohemian way of announcing that conventionality doesn’t count with us, that we act as we feel, that we believe’ in simplicity and ,naturalness. That all sounds rather fine and independent. But it won't do. We have all to adapt ourselves to an’ ever-varying stream of circum- stances. And if we learn to adapt ourselves gracefully we shall at once cave ourselves friction,~ annoyance and an unnecessarily awkward ap- nearance. “Don't be affected,” says many a well-meaning adult to an impression- able child. And“the child who was probably only trying to be gracious and pleasant and to meet its elders with a iittle air of deference and sweetness shyly wonders whether ey- erybody thinks it an affected little Miss Nancy. So it tries to be natural and probably succeeds in being bois- terous and ungraceful, Charm of manner is made up of a number of things. First, Charm of Manner | there is a|goin’ to draw a gun an’ rely on rather than hurt or annoy them. Then there is an agreeable perception of what is awkward and ungraceful. Next comes quiet poise and self- possession, together with a feeling that one is a member of a social group at the same time that one is an individual. A deferential attitude to- ward other people’s opinions, a lack of intolerant haste in dismissing oth- er people's preferences and ideas, an amiable willingness to fit into the pic- ture instead of standing out from it from a background, all go to make charm of manner. Books of etiquette never yet man- ufactured a social success. A kind heart, a steady brain, a desire to please and an ability to perceive what s customary and to adjust one's self to it are the first steps toward good manuers. An actual charm of man- ner may be added thereto by anyone who is sweet and patient and willing to exert herself to be gracious and graceful. —mem——— Perilous Game. “Don’t you play bridge whist at Crimson Guleh?” . “Not any_more," replicd Broncho Bob, “It upsets all the rules.

But whist he doesn’t know what minute artner is a verdict of icans, it would first be necessary to overcome a preliminary prejudice, and then to learn the art of prepar- ing the food for the table. This art is so well understood in France that it is hard for a Frenchman to under, stand why anybody should not like snails, just as an old-fashioned far- mer cannot see any objection to pie, even at breakfast. In favor of the snail as an article of food is the fact that it is a vege- table feeder, and rather dainty in its eating when it has a choice...Its | ing in a shell, or carrying its curious- ly twisted house on itd back, is not a reason for rejecting it from the| culinary list. But I can understand how a sensitive imagination might be affected by the thought of killing and devouring a creature which walks around like a wandering Chinaman with a pagoda on his shoulders, Does not one always shrink from eating any kind of an animal which is re- markable for its beauty or the sin- gularity of its appearance? I wonder how far the splendor of the peacock’s pluml?e goes in saving it from our tables, for in the palmy days of Roman luxury peacocks layed a great part in feasts, especial- ry their tongues and brains. Now we are content to keep peacocks for liv- ing ornaments, and when we want to eat tongues and brains we go to the lamb and the calf.
