LONDON, Nov. 3. Mrs Baldwin, the wife of the Prime Minister, at tho annual meeting of the Children’s House, Bow, E. at the Merchant Taylors’ Hall. Tb.readneedlestreef. ICC., yesterday referred to the teaching of manners to the children in the House. "I am old-fashioned enough.’’ • she said, “to set great store on good manners. They cost nothing am! the world would bo much poorer without them.” Sir William .Joy nsou-H irks, the Homo Secretary, said he noticed i.lmt in bke gathering of the elder children the hays and girls danced together. Ho was glad to see that there was “mixed” dancing, and added: I have never danced with a man in niv life and T hope 1 never .shall. (Laughter). Some people often wonder whether mixttd dancing leads to evil. M hy should it h It would bo much bolter for troys and girls to meet and
farm friendships which would lead to stronger ties. Marriages between young people- with the same ideas of life would lie more successful and make for ha.ppier lives than do so many of the nondescript marriages which now so frequently lead to separations and divorce.
