Letter to a
in Praise of
A Boy Well Bred
is an Ornament to the World
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
(Copyright. 1913, by Star Company.)
I happened to bo In a street car with
you and your mother yesterday. I was
bo Impressed with your good manners
that I asked a lady who was talking1
with your mother to
tell me who you
wre after you left
the car.
So now I am writing-to
you quite an
unconventional pro
ceeding on my part,
but the difference In
our years will ex
cuse the Informality.
I happened to be
Blttlnff near the en
trvnco of tho car
and saw you stand
aside to let some
ladles step Into the
car before you cams
on. and I saw you
assist ono old lady who was somewhat
lame, and you did It In a very gentle and
modest way, which quite captivated me.
Then you steadied your mother's arm
as she was about to take a seat at one
of those' "hold-fast" places, and you
took her purse and paid the carfare and
returned the purse to her, all so quietly
and neatly and with a buslness-llko ulr.
After we had ridden a few blocks, and
while your mother was talking with her
friend, an old man came aboard the car,
and you arose and gave him your seat.
And you lifted your hat as you did this
with charming courtesy. All those evi
dences of good breedlnff were silent com
pliments to the mother and father who
brought you up. and show how fortunate
you are In having had such good guid
ance. But there are many boys of your, age
who do not practice the lessons In good
manners which they have been taught at
home when they are In public places.
They seem to think It Is not a matter of
Importance, and they allow the exuberant
spirits of childhood to get the better of
their training.
In every part of America one may see
boys of your age and older boys and
youths pushing past grown people to en
ter public conveyances, showing no cour
tesies to elderly men or women, and sit
ting while others stand, and in innumer
able ways making themselves annoying
to persons of good taste.
They shout to one another from end to
end of crowded cars; they eat fruit and
candy and peanuts and chew gum in pub
lic, and scuffle and push one another
In the aisles.
Boys whose dress and general appear

It Is a curious commentary on our

such manners can exist after boys have

their knowledge of books do them if they
are to grow into young manhood uncon

Good manners are the very foundation

What do you think the world owes to
women?
The Rev. Henry E. Jackson, pastor of
the Christian Union Congregational
church of Montclalr, N. J., says that we
have two sacred duties toward women
"to utilise them and to mako them
happy."
This minister has recently announced
his new platform: Ho will not perform a
marriage unless the bridegroom-to-be can
present a. clear bill of health from the
bride's family physician. This statement
commands Instant attention, and arouses
earnest speculation. The man, not the
woman, must have a guaranteo of fitness
for marriage and this must come from
the family physician of the bride. WhyT
There Ib a world-reason, the race must
be protected.
It seems a far cry from opium-soaked
Chinatown to Montclalr, sweet with the
perfumes and lovely with the vestments
of spring. But Mr. Jackson stands ready
to bridge gulfs far greater than conven
tion's self. On Sunday evening, April 21,
a woman who was for ten years a white
slave In Chinatown, and who escaped ten
years ago, mounted his pulpit and told
the married men and woman of tho con
gregation of the work she Is doing for
the little sisters of tho dark, who might
so easily bo led down the grim path she
had to travel. Conservatism was not
ready to allow boys 'and girls on tho
threshold of life, or unmarried men and
women, to deal with life unveiled, and as
It shamefully and sadly Is.
That day I left New York in murk and
gray gloom and went to the clean, sane,
sweet smcllnlg country. In tho groat
sunny living room of the Jackson home
an early bee was buxzing around a mass
of fragrant purple lilacs; the atmosphere
was calm, serene; the Rev. Henry Jack
son speaks with a quiet directness of
manner that Is the soul of unaffected
simplicity. And in this atmosphere of
peace I listened to some woria-truihs
that sounded a note of absolute freedom
for women once, as Mr. Jackson says,
mere household utensils.
"When Rose Livingston had finished
telling my people of the awful horrors
from which she saves some little girl
of 13 or 14 year, and of the brief life and
terrible death that Is the bitter portion
of some others, they were fairly raw In
their sensitiveness, while In their minds
was a boiling turmoil of indignation that
men and women make these conditions
by allowing them
"It is a terrible thing when emotions
are aroused with no outlet. 'Unaoted
thought Is a sin,' according to the great
Italian philosopher, Matztnl.
"That audience In my church found
some outlet for its feelings in taking up
generous collection for the work of
saving, our little girls, but that was not
enough.
'What are we going to do?" I asked
them.
Now, I believe firmly (that the twen
tieth century will vee the single moral
standard for men and women enforced.
The opinion of educated society will make

"Is this Idea of your bused on morals

minister. "We cannot take too many

The Restoration
By RKV. THOMAS B. GRKGORV.
It wns 233 years ago May 29, lseo-that
Charles II, the "Merry Monarch." went
waltzing Into Whitehall to begin the dis
reputable period of English history known
as the "Restoration."
uia onver was
dead, his weakling
of a son was offi
cially decapitated,
and tho most de
graded man who
ever fell heir to the
British throne had
everything his own
way. And It was
such a way as En-
Klund had never
seen before. Tho
court bocame a
great "flaunting
crowd of debauched men and shameless
wemen," an affair of rakes, gamblers and
degenerates. All that was noblest and
best In Puritanism was whirled away with
Its pettlshness. dodllness became a by
word of scorn. Sobriety In dress, speech,
manners, was flouted.
And the "Merry Monarch" and his
"merry" friends wcro as cruel apd un
just as they were licentious and degraded.
To their eternal Infamy they murdered
such men as Vane, Russell and Sidney,
attempted to extirpate all freedom Of
thought In rollgton and pqlitlcs, and tried
to a much greater extent even than
Charles I. had done to transform the
government of England Into a Turkish
sultanate,
In the meantlmo nature Itself seemed
to revel In the turning over of new pages
of horror. Still terrible, even at this
distance of tlmo, Is the story of the
great plague In London and the great
fire and the floods, which everywhere
prevailed, threatening to wash the "tight
little island" into the sea.
Poor old England! But poor old En
gland Is tough and hard to kill, and It
managed, somehow, to survive the Res
toration, to survlvo the worst that came
to It under the "Merry Monarch" and his
Immediate successor; and on the 13th
of January, 1C89, twenty-nine year after
Charles 11. waltzed so Jauntily into
Whitehall, It found Its salvation In that
