_Life is not so short but that there is always time enough for
courtesy._
--Emerson.
Girls, the word _lady_ should suggest, ideally, a girl (or a woman) who
keeps herself physically fit, her thinking on a high plane, and her
manners gentle and winsome.
Boys, the word _gentleman_ means, ideally, a fine, athletic, manly
fellow who is an all round good sport in the best sense, and who has
manners that do not prevent other people from seeing how fine he is.
