Fine manners are a..-.charm in and of themselves, that attract and endear those who possess them to their friends, t and always recommend themselves pleasingly. -It is not possible to define exactly the outline or extent of these peculiar facin&tlons.. It is something understood and realized when seen, but of which it I scarcely possible to convey an idea in wonis Fine, manners, associated with brilliant wit and strong intellectual characteristics such as many are endowed with, are -- indeed the polish which enhances the value of even the most sterling qualities, because it gives them an appropriate setting.
