Being Polite Pays Profits Respect of Others Is Reward For Behavior By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON WE live near one of the smaller colleges, and daily I meet groups of the young men on the street. Whether I know them or not, off come their hats, if they wear any (usually they don't) and before I know it I hear a friendly, "Good afternoon," or "Good evening." Then I catch up my manners and reply almost too eagerly, "Oh, good evening, good evening," or "Good morning" or whatever it is. The other day, a couple of fine upstanding youths, who are working their way, through school, were here under the gardener's tutelage, rolling the winter-swelled lawn.

One spot in a triangle, I was afraid they'd forget. So I called, "Boys, keep your eye on that little place, please. Everybody forgets it." And one of them replied, "We'll be sure to look out for it." And he added. "Thank you." Naturally I thought I was dreaming. Having lived near a big university where crowds of boys and girls were about at most any hour of the day.

I wasn't used to such Chesterfieldian courtesy. Indeed, often ther actions were entirely the opposite. I AM not one who goes about thinking. "Tch-sch, what are young people coming to," because times and people are what they are, and when itf comes to too much bowing and scraping, I'd rather they didn't. To be natural goes further with me.

I dislike superficial people intensely. But these youngsters around here go about it differently. They are trained at school to live courteously and think that way, to take orders with a smile and, in good old parlance, show a willing spirit and a friendly one. NATURALLY schools feel that students outside its walls are old enough to know what they are doing. Besides they are not holding classes on that kind of culture.

Test tubes are their business more than cordiality. However, one cannot help feeling that here is an opportunity for influence along lines that may be quite as valuable to youth later on, as short hand, political economy or differential calculus. One can be polite in any language. Nuptials Former Pittsburgh Artist Weds in East MR. AND MRS.

Mrs. Huntington came for us and we have visited houses and gar dens to our Mrs. Roosevelt heart's content all morning. I have never seen a greater wealth of carved woodwork, paneling and more beautiful mantelpieces. THE HOUSES which have been restored seem on the whole to have been done with extraordinary taste and feeling.

The gardens, with their high walls and careful planting, give one a sense of complete privacy. One gentleman pointed out an interesting fact. As we looked back from one corner of his garden we seemed to get a vista of an endless number of tree tops going into the distance. He remarked: "That has been done so cleverly in Charleston. You get a sense of infinite space, even in small gardens." We ended up our morning by YOU'RE sure to look as neat as a pin in a suavely tailored frock (No.
