(Copyright, 1936, Good Etiquette is More Than Surface Veneer By Deborah Ames I WAS having an argument the other day as to the correct def inition of the word "etiquette." My opponent insisted that it meant merely the surface veneer of manners that people in the higher walks of life have acquired that it is something that is not vitally necessary to the average person. I claim that "etiquette," to me at least, is much larger than is any set of manners alone. It goes deeper than the surface of conformity to conventions, and relies on the basis of tradition that our many forefathers have given us. I think it was Emerson who said: "There is always a best way of doing everything . Manners form a rich varnish with which the routine of life is washed and its details adorned. If they are superficial, so are the dewdrops that give such a depth to the morning meadows." I have never known anyone, no matter how great a person he was, who could "get away" with just a superficial veneer. Manners, although important, are truly of secondary importance it is one's manner that is most important. Once the few basic rules are learned, you can forget the de tails and build up the biggest thing your personality. You can't possibly leave a feeling of graciousness and calmness with your fellow beings when you are worried by doubts and a feeling of uncertainty. I think the basis of all manners lies in that old proverb "Polite ness is to do and say the kindest thing in the kindest way." I tjon't know who first snid that, but I can remember it being dinned in to me from the age r. r -e until I was old enough not to need it. Make a habit o. being ecu. .c ous always and everywhere.

LESSON NO. 5 '"AMAZING I" ' That's what your friends will say when they see you perform "The Ring In the Egg Trick," the secret of which, you will learn to day. Here is a trick that will earn you the reputation of a "master of magic." A favorite stunt of professional magicians, "The Ring In the Egg Trick," when properly performed, has fooled even magi cians themselves! It's easy to do, but if you don't know how just try and fiJre it .out! So get out your secret code cards, Wizardo Club members, and here's how it's done: EFFECT: Request some lady in your audience to loan you her wedding ring, promising to return It in a few minutes unharmed. Taking the ring, remove a hand kerchief from your pocket and wrap it around the ring. Hand the City. Date By Faay Fuller) only occasionally. If you feel kindly and act kindly toward everyone even toward the person you most dislike before long you will have developed an unconsci ous courtesy. AFTER you have developed this kindliness of manner, there Is another thing to learn a true sense of people's worth. Never estimate men for what they possess, but for whnt they' are. The truly well-bred man or woman has simple tastes and makes no glorification of money. A display of wealth is as vulgar as a contempt for those who do not have it, Never treat anyone with contempt remember that there is at least one fine quality in every person. A sense of values will give you a good-humored tol erance of others. When I was a young girl I ' was an awful snob and I can see now that I must have been a rath er odious person. I had utterly no reason to consider myself better than- anyone else yet I did be cause my sister and I had a nurs ery-governess and went away to a private school when all the other youngsters in our funny little town went to the local gram mar school, and no doubt had a much better time than I did!. Since I have been out of school and have lived more or less inti mately with the nobility of Eur ope, with rough American engi neers in South America, and with Mexican peons in ranches along the border I have learned that tolerance is one of the greatest assets that can be obtained, But I beg of you don't mis take condescension for tolerance!

(The person holding the handkerchief can feel the ring through the cloth.) "And will you hold the ring tightly be tween your fingers so that it can't fall out of the handkerchief." Turning to your table, pick up an ordinary egg cup and turn it upside down showing it to be empty. Replace the egg cup on the table and pickup an egg and' hand it out to be examined. When the egg has been thoroughly ex amined and returned to you, re mark: ' "We magicians believe that everything has its proper place and after all the proper place for an egg is in an egg eup, so I will put this egg. In its proper place." Place the egg in the egg cup. Now, walk over to the specta tor holding the ring wrapped In the handkerchief and, taking hold of one comer, ask him to let the handkerchief drop. As you do this, place your other hand under the handkerchief as though to catch the ring when it falls. As the handkerchief unfolds, your audi ence will naturally expect the ring to fall into your hand, but to the surprise of everyone the handkerchief is empty! Shake the handkerchief out and show both sides and your hands to be empty, saying: "I don't know who's to blame for this, but it looks as though one of us has lost this lady's wedding ring. By the way, have you another wedding ring handy that we can give to her? Ynu haven't! Well, I gue'ss I'll have to w6rk a little magic and seo what I can do." Return to your table and pick ing up the egg cup continue: "Very few people are aware of the fact, but the common hen's egg is the real secret of a magi cian's power and here's the proof."

A tree was photographed, and it showed over 200 snails, eating for their lives, No one had seen them crawling over the ground, approaching in an army of millions. No one had noticed them until they appeared, clinging to the trees. Every shrub and green thing was covered with the monsters. The interested CEYLON OBSERVER reported these snails were "never known In Ceylon before, and their com ing continues to be a mystery." Trees sagged, heavy with their weight; branches were eaten and fell. The gnawing sound was heard day and night. Natives were bribed to gather thousands into piles and burn them.
