LITTLE OOURTEKIES OF I4FE
' ..'.They cost bo little -and they are
worth so much. Perhaps no one will
ever know bow much. , A pleasant
look, a cheery good morning, that is
all, but It brightens the day for the
poor sout whom, let us not say chance
but proV'idence, has thrown in our
way. Such a little thing for a man to
...put .out his hand to b)n ; .cnu;
wnoBe turns are .filled with bundle,
on to the car. Such a little thing to
, wait until the' women and older men
have got on. '. Sot a great deed for a
man to stand until the women" are
seated, but thane things count. They
may not always receive the "Thank
you," to which they are entitled,
though that Is Kpokcn oftene r than
. would be believed. Oth-r people no
tit It and though thoe things ought
not to bo done Jur-t because of the
satisfaction which comes from doing
what Is felt to be the thing to do, that
Is a far better motive " than many
another.
There Is no place where thKe lit
tle courtesies are more neglected, and
yet where- they should be practiced
thq moxt, than in the home." Exactly
because we love our own the best 1h
th reason why we should be mowt po
lite when no trangcra'are around vs.
It Is partly the fault of our Anglo
Saxon habit of ' repreriMun, partly a
half-nnhamd feeling lent we allow
ourselves to give way to our emotions,
that kevps us from Irtting each other,
know how strong Is the bond between
us.
Not only the elders, but the children
are to be envied who live In a home
whose atnvapherft. 1- marked by little
graceful acts of courtesy. The meet

22 Z ys.a:s ago the s.iocs of tii-t- i'Tit
tTjo-jgit it necessary to pass Jaws to
protect the unsophisticated from the
many mysterious and wonderful ways
in which the fair sex have always
delighted In misleading the men. The
following la a copy of ona of these
laws: . , .
That all women of whatever age.

virgins, malda or widows, that 6hall
after the passing of this act, impose
upon, seduce and betray Into matri
mony any of His Majesty's male sub

washes, artificial teeth, false hair,
Spanish wool, iron stays, hoops, high
heeled shoes or bolstered hips, shall
incur the penalty of the laws now In
force against witchcraft, sorcery and
such like misdemeanors, and that the
marriage, upon conviction, shall stand
null and void." ....
As these laws have since become ob
solete we presume the boys are getting
wiser. However, as the women have
certainly made great advancement In
their art during the past 200 years,
one cannot help but wonder what pro
tection the men of those- times would
have needed had they met the real
