FAMILY LIFE IN ENGLAND

AND IN FRANCE.

A Difference in Household Manners.

SATURDAY. APRIL 9, 1921,

It is this daily ceremonious- ness, respect, and restraint which

ADVANTAGES IN BOTH METHODS.

My small friend of the railway station, who was brought up to doff his cap to his father-not only to strangers-will perhaps when the day of inevitable differ- once comes, speak his mind less bitterly because the habits of yeare have enjoined on him the

It was four years ago and the father was in uniform; therefore, it was natural enough that he should turn at the last moment The manner of conduct to for a second embrace for his relations is not left to the indivi- knickerbockered son and heir, dual taste; they are treated ao- Twice I saw the soldier band cording to rules laid down by the with his arm round

Probably each race has gone the road that suits it best, and the family as the Frenchman has made it-the "class-conscious" unit would be an impossible institution with a people of It is hardly an exaggeration to necessity more migratory. That, say that, compared with our however, need not blind us to the neighbours beyond the Channel,advantages of belonging to a we have no family life; and that, class-conscious " family-the probably, is one of the Penalties-higher code of manners that its if you like, rewards of living in an island empire.

An island empire breeds colonists and sailors, and you cannot breed sailors and colonists and keep alive the idea and ideal of the household as a definite whole.

Not that we, who are English. aro unconscious of the tie of blood or lacking in affection for kith and kin-even though that kith and kin be scattered. But we are bred as individuals, not as members of a little social system; and it is tacitly taken for granted in our youth that, with years of discretion, we shall go our individual ways.

So firmly do we insist upon our individual tastes and dis- tastes in what we call our family life, so little do we aim at a com- mon unity, that we regard it as a | dangerous experiment for B mother ไป stay long with a married zon or daughter, for

It means that NEW thing in a cigarette, that does for your smoke-hunger exactly what a drink of cold water does for your thirst!

A cigarette must do more than please the taste-Chesterfields do They let you know you are smoking—they SATISFY,

And the reason is that Chesterfields have body. The finer, silkier leaves of TURKISH have been properly blended with several varieties of the best AMERICAN tobaccos, famous for their full-bodied flavor.
