GOOD BREEDING.
The best-bred women do not fuss. They take their gowns and their furniture and their jewels as a matter of course. They are unconscious of their veils and their gloves, and they expect everyone else to be equally so. If they see an intimate wearing a handsome gown they refer to it admiringly, but they also preface their comment with an apology. Their differences with their husbands are not aired, neither are the domestic upheavals. The repose of the well-bred woman is not the quiet of weakness. It is the calm of trained faculties, balanced so nicely that an earthquake may cause a. change of colour, but will not bring forth a loud cry. Wellbred worn-en are a boon to the human race. They help the world to maintain a high standard both of morals and behaviour.
