Is Your Child Well-L-ied?
By HELEN GREGG GREEN.
1 remarked to a friend the other
■day, ‘Do you think it. \v li-bred furl
Jiinsy to sit ‘in the house with hi-:
■hat on?”
"Oh, any dear, v• • n perf . tlyj
absurd! Jimsy's only tiv • an t
half.”
i Which. was tlio prol a to a rath
. r lengthy, amt a hit to otic discussion ;
<4 when, where and v i < iiil.i
should acquire gooml V« :■ !t« ».
.Vty friend contended ttm. a parent’
weed not Ixmlier \.;:lt ".-ich 1 iLtJ ■ ■
'things” until the child is old enough ,
to become interested himself.
“WJiea Jia is int.-cn. ■ I enough,
Oie’ll pick Jt up," she decl.i . d.
flood (breeding is nut t: 1 up. It
is either learned in childhood orj
not at all. Of course i certain su-|
‘pert'icial type of gc j I bre-aling may
1m acquired, 'but not the way-down I
deep, nlways-have-iiad ii kind that is
really charming and worth while.
A young banket in nr: town, a
(hap about 21. has pa I i.i r pt u
idly on the street, and spoken with '
cut so much as touching his hat. Ill
seems unbelievable.
It should be as natural far a smalt
'hoy to lift his hat at the proper
■time, to stand when ;i woman enters
the room, and to do th • hundred miff
',,itn other little -thine lint are so
I
charming, as it is for him to eat three
minis a. day, and sto to Dreamland
at night. If tii.se habits are inol
■ ..tod hi youngsters at, an early age,
they wiil never ;be forgotten.
Then thero are the many little
tilings 4hat children shottkl bo taught
l. f t <1,>, except in privacy.
J s ailing at a friend's home the
other day, when the son and heir of
tit '.imts ‘hold joined us on the porch.
He was a handsome youngster, just
ready .for high school. He had no
ooner sat down titan jt. was ap
ir tu 'ho had tarried only long
on ugh for a first class manicure, t
could see his mother was very much
. lubarms- d. Personally, 1 think sho
deserved to 'bo.
She asked, "J im, isn’t' your bed
room the place for that?” J
J ilin was unimpressed. II,is mother f»
had ,i »kcn eight years too late. The |
m a ire was completed with flying1
colors. j
You tan tell a well-bred child,--one
taught the many 111110 niceties of life',
wiim quite voting, by his lack of j
:.>lf• eonsiionsuo-ss. This is the .beau
ty of it. all. This and his thought
fulness.
And. after all, courtesy, charming
nanners and good-breeding are sy
n- nymotts with forgetfulness of self.
