H. there is necessity for system OF tactics, ty
which unpleasant collisions maybe avoided, and
confusion prevented Having, in our day, lad
some little military experience, we have prepared
the following directions, which we think will be
found successful, and according 10 SCOTS system
or tautIcS-aud Scott is authority now.
Suppose then. that SIX men are quietly seated in
4 pew upon the right hand side Of the broad aisle,
when lady proposes to herself the somewhat d!f-
cuIt TASK Of taking possession OF The rnotest seal,
which foolish custom has assigned fOr the special
occupancy Of the elder lady OF household, or III
default Of her presence, any lady or anything that
wears pelticoats. though it be but child. Tins
she proposes TO take possession Of peacefully if
she can. forcibly if she must" Happily the stern-
er sex are disposed yield the point, AMI ii d,si
rable that it be done with grace. This can he done
in this way:
Let the lady advance one pace beyond the door
of TIE pew, halt, about face and salute. The pew
must Their be raeated by flank movement The
squad occupying it should rise simultaneously,
when the Lady presents, and face by the right flank,
then depoy into the axle, the head man facing tie
lady, and the rest passing to his right and rear,
changing the objection of line by right counter
march. and forming again i'll line upand down ue
AISLE still faced by the right flank.
The lady, when she sees the COST clear, cont
peteS her salute and adVaRces at to her posi-
ton in the pew. The gentlemen bCeak off by files,
from the rear, and resume their places. Great care
shOuld be taken, of course, by other parIies rot
enter the aisle where this evolution is in progress
until it is completed.
Ifthis evolution appears too formidable, we have
another mode to suggest, by which the evil can be
avoided, aud that is, let those who come first, take
the renotest seat, and as others arrive let them IL
up IN ducOrIe OF arrival, without regard 10 rank.
