Home Life 2

                            A degree of good breeding is needed to preserve the best of good habits, customs and tender affections. The best person can have bad habits. Yet it is imprudent and ill-mannered to show them.
Constantly to cast remarks at each other do untold harm in the family circle. Constant habit of fault finding over petty trifles can be equally bad. Daily to criticize the type of food served, is not pleasant to the person who cooks.
                     Children who lack good breeding do not respect their parents, their elders and their superiors. In referring to these people respectable terms should be used. Good manners are really caught rather than taught. In other words these are learnt more by imitation than by precept and rule.
                     In a decent home, brother and sisters should know how to respect each other's rights, to avoid anything that can annoy or disturb. They should treat each other as they would treat a young guest whom they wish to honour. Home etiquette and politeness are much tied to their observances.
