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.
Manners that are brought out
only on state occasions usually fit
as poorly as clothes that are worn

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:

AFTER you have developed

there Is another thing to learn
a true sense of people's worth.
Never estimate men for what
they possess, but for whnt they'

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

the audience, and say:
"Will you pleape hold this for
me for a few minutes while I per
form my next trick." (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

No one had seen them crawling

these snails were "never known

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.
