BORN
A LADY

The triple -chinned wOrnan with her
expensive hat awry paused breathless
at the end of her tirade; the police-
man who had climbed, in beside -the
chauffeur told him to go ahead; the
taxicab conveying the bandaged man
who had been knocked down
peared round the corner; the croWd
that had gathered like magic at the
accident began to dissolve. Louise
t irned a shocked face upon her com-
panion.
"And that was Belle Bingham," she
psped. "Looking like that, and
s',outing like that, and making a

ly gay and frothy, later of the 'sporty'
vulgarly ostentatious kind. In their
company she hardened and coragened,
until at last, as you saw, she lost even
the outward semblance of a lady."
"It's horrible!" cried Louise.
"Yes; yet perhaps for us and for
our daughters it is well to realize
strohgly once in a while that neither
the graces, the pretty manners, the
outward refinement, nor the acquaint
ance with society are the essentia
thing. Girls; born into frtmilies of re
nement and good traditions are' like-
ly to accept them as sufficient; and to
think that vulgarity„violence, callous-
ness, brutality, only occur among a
i erent order of people. They're not
snobs necessarily; life simply looks
that *ay. Now I want my Jessie to
understand that it isn't so. Being a
lady in the real sense depends mainly
on two things, self-controi and con-
siderlititm for others. Whoever lets
sliP. those two essentials 'is in clanger
of sinking to be something very -cliff-
