THE SECRET OF FASCINATING.
DOUBTLESS thousands of young people, and not a small number of old ones, wish every day of their lives that they could learn the secret of fascinating others by means of their graceful, exquisite manners. The secret is an open one. It is so easy to learn that it lies all neglected by the wayside, while they who would give their dearest treasure to find it, pass unknowing. It is only this: Fill your heart with good will to everybody, and then practice at all times the best manners you know, particularly at home. If you begin at home, this charming manner will, so to speak, get settled on you and never leave you. Be just as polite to your sister as you would to your570best girl. Strive to gain the good will of mother, father, and brothers and sisters, and children, exactly as you strive to gain good will abroad. There is no place for practicing manners like the home circle, no place, permit me to say, where it will be so appreciated. It will be a cultivation of heart, mind, and body, this endeavor to feel nothing but affection for the people at home, and treat them as though they were worthy of as much consideration at your hands as if they were the president and his family. So they are worthy. Then from the home will float out around you those sweet, magnetic influences which will draw the hearts of mankind toward you.—Jenness Miller Monthly.
