NOTHING LOST BY COURTESY
Yet It Is a Somewhat Humiliating
Fact That Comparatively So Few
Practice It.
Whether In a letter or face to face,
there Is nothing In the whole big wide
world Unit does &o much to make a
good Inipwsslorr on either stranger or
acquaintance as simple, elemental, ev
eryday courtesy. It Is surprising, with
courtesy so valuable and so absurdly
cheap that more of It Isn't used,
writes Fred C. Kelly In Leslie's. If
I'm on a train, let me say, and the
man abend of me at the Ice water
tank Insists on my drinking first, or
hands, me the little paper drlnklng-cup
he was about to ii.se himself, I thank
him. I don't merely grunt my tlmriks,
as If I thought he had given me no
more than I had coming to me. I
thank him out loud, so that lie can
hear It. And at the first opportunity
J -try to get right back at him by do
ing some little favor for him. If I
haven't a cigar to give him, I at least
show that my heart is In the right
place by offering him a match.
If a stranger comes to my olllce for
a conference, I pidl up a chair for him
with my own fair hands. When be
gets ready to go, I accompany him to
the door. Thus his last recollect li
of me Is my courteously bowing him
out.
If you haven't a lot of acquaintances
I feel sorry for you. The fault- Is
probably your own. There must be
people all about you who would enjoy
knowing you as much as you would
enjoy knowing them. As a sporting
proposition there is nothing to equal
the fun of seeing bow many people
you can inako your frlepds. They're
valunble, tangible assets. If I wore
called upon to give good advice In
few words, I would say: "Know a lot
of folks."
CALL FOR UNWRITTEN BOOKS
Public Libraries Glvo List of Works
Reading People Would Seem
to Appreciate.
The Publishers' Weekly hns collected
from public libraries a list of unwrit
ten books that should be available.
Included In this list Is a book on cook
ery practice, an Illustrated monograph
on cameos or a history of Moslem aft,
an up-tO'dnte. comprehensive American
book on Iron mill steel metallurgy.
Histories of Armenia and Oregon
aro alike demanded. A book on cob
blestouo fireplaces, with dimensions
and drawings, Is wauled, and another
on European peasant costumes.
Enough Is said on the lack of a new
etiquette, book when It Is stated that
the latest good one Is dated 11)13.
, A work to "prevent amateur garden
ers from pulling up a jilunt Instead of
a weed" would bo as useful as an In
dex to essays or a treatise mi septic
tankH. The Held In concordances Is
enormous.
. Anyone with ten years to spnre can
start a Drowning concordance at once.
"A history of the novel from the very
'beginning and In all countries" Is a
rather more nmbltlous proposal, pre
paratory reading for which might oc
cupy n few decades.
Balzac's plinmo for books ho
dreamed some day of writing, made fa
miliar by Ntiivensmi, was "enchanted
cigarettes." Here are enchanted ciga
rettes by tbo gross for publishers. Wo
limy hopo that tunw of the needed
books mentioned by tho libraries will
bo supplied.
Or will authors persist In writing
the books they want to vrlto Instead
of the books that are needed? New

Vaudeville.
'The word vaudeville Is a. corruption
of Viiho de Vlre, the name of two pic
ttnesque valleys In the Doeage of Nor
mandy, France. The name wiih origin
ally applied to a song with words io
luting to some story of the day. These
songs wero'tlrst composed by Oliver
DiiHselln, a fuller living In VI re. They
were popular and soon spread all over
France, and were called by the mime
o the place where Dasselln composed
them, nunfely Vaux do VI re. As the
.origin of the term was lost sight of It
' at last took Its, present form, vaude
ville.
tVoudovIHo Is now properly used to
signify u play In which dialogue Is In
terspersed with songs Incidentally In
troduced but forming an ImnOrlunt
part of tbo drama,
Deceived by Reflection.
The rumor that there was such a
pliico as El Dorado was so Insistent
centuries ago that Humboldt, the ex
plorur, inadu a special Investigation,
ntid located the origin of the fable In
a territory between tbo Kssequlbo and
Dranco rivers In (luhinii. Great
deposit of nilca-slate and talc so'
Decked the rocks surrounding a small
lake that tho sun did Indeed turn the
meu Into a vast golden mirror, but as
fur as the vuluo of tho deposits were
concerned there was nothing to wish
for. Tho temples, houses and public
. btjjtldlngx of beaten gold were mere-
, ly, OittMmaglniition of those who had
gllitrpiu tho lake, but hud bee.npre
vented by natives from reaching it.
