Good Form for Men.
The title of "Good Form for Men," A
Guide to Conduct and Dress on all Occa
sions, by Charles Harcourt, (The John C.
Winston Company) rather startles the
average reader, but the title is misleading
for the book contains much that will be
read with interest by both the "novice"
and the "thorough-bred." The contents
of the book is well told in the subhead
ings of the chapters : Good Form, Dress
and Toilet, In Public, Calls and Cards,
Introductions, Invitations, Dinners,
Luncheons, Suppers, Balls, Dancing,
lleceptions, Weddings, Correspondence
and Conversation, Traveling, The Bach
elor Host, At the Club, Sports and
Pastimes, and Smoking.
Its usefulness is greatly enhanced by a
complete index which makes reference
easy.
liaug-lia as Medicine.
An English physician in search for
remedies for human ills, finds that laugh
ter stands very high in the list of prophy
latics. The effect of mere cheerfulness
as a health promotor is well known, but
an occasional outburst of downright
laughter is the heroic remedy.
It is a matter of everyday experience,
says our English authority, that one feels
the better for a good laugh, an explosion
of laughter being in truth a "nerve storm,
comparable in its effect to a thunder-storm
in nature, doing good by dissipating
those oppressive clouds of care which
sometimes darken the mental horizon."
This authority also assures us that the
memorable adage, "Laugh and grow fat,"
rests on sound philosophical basis. Portly
people are not given to laughter because
they are fat ; they are fat because they
laugh.
Johnny On JEasy Writing".
I don't believe 'twas hard to do,
When Homer wrote of Troy;
There were no rules for him to watch,
No grammars to annoy.
He had no slang to guard against
He spelt the easiest way;
The subjects were not threadbare then
Because he had first say.
And Dante had it easy, too,
In Florence when he wrote;
He made each phrase as he went on;
There were no words to quote.
The common talk of every day
Was good enough to use;
"Too trite" was something never heard,
There were no terms to choose.
Old Chaucer had no task at all;
He wrote what came along;
He put down just what people said,
And couldn't spell words wrong.
You see no one had tried before
To write this brand-new speech,
So Chaucer fixed it his own way
For all the schools to teach.
It wasn't bad when Shakespeare lived;
The right no one could tell;
There were no dictionaries then .
No wonder he wrote well.
Now it gets harder all the time ;
Each word must mean just so;
The very turn you'd like the best.
Is one that will not go.
