BAD FORM.

WHERE DOES CONVENTION END?

A NATURAL INSTINUI

Where does convention end and bad form begin In other words, why is it considered wrong to do certain things in certain ways and even to phrase certain t sentiment in certain words, when they are," in intention, just as courteous 43 the me thods and words which are accepted as right?

"It is not a question of bad manners- bad manners may go hand in hand with the most oxquisite social correctness-por is it altogether a question of fashion-- a man may be unfashionable in every conceivable way but always be perfectly good form.

Good form in this particular interpre tation of the phrase is a kind of social cament which helps one to get through life easily. But why some things should be good form and others not l'have no precise idea, though I think thera is kind of in- stinet for differentiating..

·་

Of course one may assert if one likes that the good forin of one class is not the! good form of another; but as a matter of fact we use the words as though they were not relative and were applicable to no nao clasa in particular. One speaks as if a thing either was or was not good form→→→ and there is the end of it.

PLATING THE GAME."

But there is another aspect of good form. which is of much greater importance, and that is the aspect which deals with condu in the real meaning of, the word. In this significance it stands for "playing the game." When a man skrugs his shoulders in regard to another man's behaviour and observes coldly "Bad form." it is the most deadly way he has expressing the opinion that the other is n cad.

The unwritten code which says that certain things are not done, with its penalties of social ostracism and contempt, is a kind of acknowledgment that the actual laws of the country are not sufficient to deal with all forms of social menace.

I do not mean to imply that good. form, however. rigorously interpreted, covers every question of conduct. Unfor turately it does not. Like all codes, it is bound by certain conventions of what is or not permissible and these conven- tions are not always entirely reasonable.

But what one can say is that it does cover many of the most serious questions of conduct. A boy who has once sesini- lated its spirit very rarely runs counter to its teaching.

SCHOOL TRADITION.

Indeed, the inculcation of what is good form in regard to conduct is probably the most lasting asset a boy can carry away from school. He mostly derives it from his school tradition. And that is why such institutione as public schools, which have definite and strong traditions, are reliable oren when their teaching is negligible, they develop an ideal of character if they don't always impart much knowledge.

Luckily, however, for the nation, a great many people who know nothing about good form in the drawing-room serve, and who have bad, further, no opportunity of such an education as would teach them its broader implications, have nevertheless a natural instinct for it. Some of the finest gentlemen. I have ever met were not polished in the accepted sense But they would certainly never have done a mean thing or a thing that showed a Their good want of innate delicacy. form was not a conscious co-le, but it was there in the ultimate meaning of the word.

ANOBEISHNESS BAD FORM.

Like all those things which, generally speaking, bave an artificial manner to cloak their real importance, good form is often regarded as a sort of snobbishness by those who don't know what it stands for. But, as soon as it actually becomes that, it is no longer good form, but exceedingly had form. It is, in its essence, It is wanting, a way of regarding life. perhaps, in generosity of outlook, because it is a rigid code from which there must be no falling of; but, on the other hand, cold, though it be, it is to be relied on.

Many a man would rather die than do something which he knew his companions would consider bad form, just as many a man would rather pay his gambling. debts than bis creditora,

On the whole, therefore, good form does stand for an admirable ideal, though, of course, it is petty in some of its manifest- ations and stilted in others. If it is a social code in one direction, it is a moral code in another.-By Jous BLOUST, în the Daily Mail,

FOUNDING OF THE CAPITAL

THE

UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA

RESIDENCE, FARMING, TRAVEL

The Union of South Africa is of interest to Europeans in the Far East. -If they are retiring on peasios, there are many pleasant South African towns in which to live. If they seek a career, and have a moderate capital, there is scope in South Africa for planters and farmers. And for those in need of a holiday, the country is famed as a travel and health resort. The climate is equable. It is sanay but temperate, being, neither sa inclement in winter as that of Northern Europe, nor so caervating in summer as that of the East. It is a genial, wholesome climate in which Europeans thrive.

The rougher work in South Africa Is done by coloured labourers and domestics. Educational facilities are good, the young can now take their University degrees in South Africa." The larger towos are modernly equipped, and many of the smaller enes are very congenial residentially, There are numerous resorts-maun tain, river and marine, for an occa sional change. Sport is plentiful. The cost of living and income tax- ation compare favourably with these elsewhere.

in short the Union of South Africa is an uncommonly attractive country.

Foll particulars may be obtained from the Publicity Agent, Office of the High Commissioner för the Union of South Africa, Trafalgar Square, London, .c.2. Specify requirements.

King Edward 1.'s pre-occupation in his Welsh and Scottish were brought a large! concentration of offices of government to Shrewsbury and York. Had the third Edward been successful in his revival of his grandfather'a Northern policy, York might very well have taken the place of Westminster as the State capital. It was the wealth of London that made its claim fpreeminent and its greater accessibility when Edward III, turned from his Scot tish adventure, to spend the nation's resources in the conquest of France.
