His genuflections and “beg pardons” used to get on my nerves until I could hardly refrain from a protest. He wouldn’t wear his hat in the presence of ladies. and I‘ve seen him standing on a street corner bareheaded in the broiling sun for an hour ya time while he talked with a female acquaintance. The Making of a Successful Husband I‘ll bet a horse I am reminded of Perkins by some = actions of yours that I noticed while , you and Anna May were visiting us last week. That old hypocrite was the embodiment of exaggerated courtesy to every one he met, with the single exception of his wife. Unless he had company he would drop his manners on his front porch and on the other side of his threshold become the most disagreeable reprobate that ever wore a long suffering woman to the grave. I don’t mean to intimate, my boy, ‘ that there is any resemblance between you and old Perkins, but I saw when you were here that you were already beginning to follow the general tend- ency of persons who wear trousers and forgetting at home some of the ameni- ties you would never overlook outside. It’s so easy to do. We are all naturally savages. prone to drop the social graces whenever we think nobody's looking and our families are supposed to kind- ly shut their eyes. Yet the little cere- monies and verbal expressions which constitute our everyday code of eti- quette were designed for the sole pur- pose of smoothing the rough edges of our intercourse with the world, the flesh and the devil and keep us from flying at one another's throat, as we would like so much to do. A Potent Force. Next to the Christian religion polite- ness is the most potent force in the world today. and it is just as effective in one‘s own home as it is in the house across the street. Now, without any more beating around the bush. I want to say a few things to you on this sub- Do Not Fail to Be Courteous at Home.

' i t was a (risky critter, as all colts am. but father was very proud of it and de- lighted in showing it to visitors. As a rule. when he wanted to exhibit the colt it was in the pasture, and one of the most vivid recollections of my boy- hood days is that dignified old gentle- man chasing that dern fool colt over a ten acre field. He would trot along and appeal to the colt intones of strained honey. He would pretend to offer a: reguiar cornucopia of things that ‘ horses are supposed to sigh for. The colt would coyly wait until he was al- most within reach; then, with a sniff of disdain. it would raise its tail straight up in the air and gallop to the other side of the pasture. Finally the little beast would allow itself to be caught. just like a woman, and once he had his hands on him the old gentleman would let loose a flood of unprofane cuss words that would Shlle the corn in the barn. "Contaminate your meas- ly hide." he would shout. "I feel like breaking every bone in your onregen- prate cart-asst" But he never did. My parent was a humane man, and, be- sides. the colt was valuable. Before and After. That's just the way with a great many men after they marry.

No. you can’t do a better thing than to treat your wife at least as well as you do your neighbor‘s. She will ap- preciate it. I can say that with em. phasis, for nothing hurts a woman mo": than the apparent loss of that fine consideration which distinguishes the wooing days. No matter if she does feel sure of your love, no matter if you prove your affection in number- less other ways. she who has reigned as queen is never fully satisfied with less than the honors due to royalty. Ami it is so easy to gratify her. It is uzziy necessary to keep in mind all the :ina- that your wife is a woman and that good breeding works as well in a smoking jacket as in a dress suit. I have a very strong recollection of a blacksmith who lived in the little village where I went to school when a boy. He was a great, brawny. rough looking fellow, whose face and hands were grimed by the smoke of the forge. He seldom wore a coat and never a collar except on Sunday. but he was one of the truest gentlemen I have ever known. and his wife was envied by every other woman in the village simnlv because of his deference to her I l l .‘v. 4 V‘- to treat y you do 31 predate i phasis, fl more tha‘ fine consi the wooil does feel 1:03'.

He was a rustic Bayard. but his chivalry was as pure and true as that of any broad- cloth attired city man. No, my son. genuine courtesy is not a matter of dress or of ceremony. and in practic- ing it at home you don’t have to sacri- fice your own comfort to an extent worthy of consideration. On the other hand, it pays wonderfully in the pleas- ure it gives to your wife and. by reflec- tion. to you. It gays in the grace it a feel sure on prove y x other wag gl“£‘s to your own character, and. bet- ter than all else. it pays in its influence mun the character of your family. >‘~-":‘.;-e of these days, unless you are dif- x‘ez'cm from the majority of mankind. yr-n. will be a father. Your children will he very much as you make them. and your actions will have more to do with the making than your commands. They will. consciously or unconscious- ly. copy your faults as well as your virtues. and the courtesy you display it: their presence will. in some part at least. become fixed habits with them. Your own training has been such that I do not fear you will go far wrong in this particular. but notwithstanding this I have seen evidence that you are not holding up to the old man's stand- ard. and 1 want you to be rightâ€"all right. But Don’t Overdo It. Now. John. don’t misunderstand me. I don’t want you to be a jumping jack in the box at home or anywhere else.

A Luxurious Conscript. A wealthy factory owner of Chaux- de-Fonds, Switzerland, who succeeded in evading the rigor of his service as a conscript by much hospitality toward his ol‘licers, has been sentenced to two days‘ confinement to barracks and or- dered to begin military service over again. When ordered to report himself he arrived at the barracks at Colom- hicr in a motor car, accompanied by his valet. .-\t a fabulous price he se- cured a private room there. which be furnished luxuriously and stocked with tho ' “ \vines and cigars. Eventually he was permitted to live out of bar- racks and engaged a flat in the best hotel. where he entertained his officers liberally and took them for rides in his motor car.
