| "on which it stands, paste blotting The world suffered (and profited) t-war from an emic s purporting to teach cour- tesy and good manners to all the sundry, For months, young, middle- aged and old agonized over where a 'gentleman should walk when he was escorting two ladies, no girl ever dared to "ask a young man in" after the theatre, and chicken salad almost disappeared 'from the menus of the earth, Nothing could have been more as-] inine--nor yet more beneficial, Be- cause literally millions purchased the books, and in trying to assimilate them, came to the conclusion that all hard and fast rules for this display of consideration towards others whic is called courtesy, were ridiculous. Civilization turned a page as a re- sult. Many realized what had heres tofore been realized by only a few, that true courtesy and real "good manners" were just an inner desire for beauty and harmony in one's life, expressed towards others and there- by invited from others, The very fact that accepted good manners differ in every country in the world, should have made think- ing people realize the fallacy of cour-. tesy by rote. Take for example the manner in which a courteous Orien- 1al guest conveys to' his host his ap- preciation of the excellence of the food he is eating, whether the food is excellent or not, of course, Failure to indulge in this gesture was con- sidered ill bred, whereas the gesture is considered the height of vulgarity in almost every other country in the world, Yet a courteops and well bred per- son is stamped with the indelible stamp of approval wherever he or she may be. And because of his or her instinctive courtesy, any errors made against the accepted customs of the locality are condoned by other well bred people, It is only a very stupid person indeed who would take of- fense at anything said or done by a stranger to the ideals of his country, True courtesy is one of the quali- ties that springs from mobility of character, It is another of those qualities that we employ towards others--no such a thing could exist were you alone in the world, And the very fact that you employ it to- wards others shows that you must The Women's Corner For Anything of Interest to the Homemaker pA H have certain fundamentally altruistic qualities in order to be truly courte- ous, For one may be letter perfect in so-called good manners, meaning the certain formalities that are indigen- ous to his locality, and not be truly courteous by nature, Move that per- son out of his or her environment, and lacking the qualities from which true courtesy springs, he will invari- ably offend and be indexed for the apirimally poverty stricken character that he really is, ; It is unnecessary to study good manners and courtesy as one studies arithmetic and grammar, It is only necessary to keep the other person's feelings in mind, If children were taught at that good manners and courtesy were merely necessities of civiliza- tion conceived for the happiness and comfort of those around them, in- stead of being taught these things on the uninteresting and lifeless basis of "being a little lady" or "being a little gentleman," the whole world would shortly be a much more plea- sant place to live in, The art of being a woman naturally includes learning, if you have not al- ready been taught, the meaning of true courtesy, And expressing it in the form of charming manners, "Courtesy and consideration, for the physical, as well as the moral comfort of those with whom you come in contact, is a necessity of civi- lization which has become an art, Without it civilization could not con- tinue to exist, A sculptor in Paris once said that courtesy was inaugurated in the time of the Lonis merely for self-preser- vation--that the tempers and the nerves of the people were so dread- ful, that a code of ethics had to be drawn up and enforced by law or the whole race would have destroyed it- self, The idea presents an amusing cartoon, and certainly not only for the French people but for all other races as well, Courtesy is absolutely indispen- sable to civilization, It is a quality that we employ towards others, Ac- quire a viewpoint that makes you consider the feelings of those with whom you come in contact--and you will be a truly courteous and well bred person wherever you may go, home elpful ints For arassed ousewives Cold ham, chopped and seasoned, then warmed in a little butter and formed into a mound on a platter, covered with poached s, will make a very good luncheon dish.

Housewives often complain that al- hough lemon and salt or oxalic acid will cleanse brass beautifully but it is not lasting, This is probably due to the brass being polished without first washing it, Tarnish on brass, copper and bronze will readily disap- pear if lemon and salt is applied, Warm vinegar, buttermilk or oxalic acid solution are also excellent for this purpose but all traces of these cleaning agents must be removed otherwise the metal will tarnish again very quickly, This is effectually done by washing the metal after the clean- ser has been applied, then drying it by rubbing it with a little dry whit- ing, This will not only absorb all moisture but will give a high polish, Faucets cleaned once a week with the acid remover, as directed, require only a daily rub with a polishing cloth or with a cloth sprinkled with a' little whiting, Egg yolk is a necessary part of the little child's daily diet and can be used: at breakfast, lunch or supper.
