HOME LIFE.
Unless people are habitually'polite and amiable and courteous in their home-life, they will not be so when they are out, however much they are under control —little tricks of manner, slang words, &c., will come out. If mothers and fathers aim at their sons and daughters being- refined and* agreeable in society, they must begin by insisting on their being at home as courteous, as obliging, and as perfectly polite to each other as they would be to strangers. Freedom of intercourse should never produce rudeness, and those families agree best who make a point of treating each other with uniform politeness and courtesy.
