ETElUETTE.

The following rules of etiquette are laid
down by Southern Jouraal:
lst. Before you bow to lady IN the
street permit her to decide whether You
may do so or not, by at least look OF
recognition.
ID. When your companions bow to O.
lady, you should do the same. When
gentleman bows to a lady in your COM
pany, always bow to him in return.
In giving them publicity, the Albany
atlas and 4Argus makes the following
timely and truthful comments:
Nothing is so i'll understood in Amer
len, as these conventional laws of society,
soweIl known and practiced in Europe.
LADIES complain that gentleman pass them
in the street unnoticed, when, in fact the
fault arises from their breach ofpoliteness.
It is their duty to do the alniable first, for
it is privilege which ladies enjoy of
choosing their. own associates or acqnain-
tances. No gentleman likes to risk the
"cut'' in the street by lady through q
premature salute. Too many ladies, it
woald seem, don't know their trade of po-
1T ness.
Meeting ladies in the street, whom one
has casually met in company, they seldom
bow, unless he bows first; and when q
gentleman ever departs from the rule Of
good breeding except occasionally 10y
way of experiment, his acquaintance do
not multiply, but he stands probably
charged with rudoness.. A lady must be
civil to gentleman into whose company
she May be casually placed; but gentle
man is not upon this to presume upon an
mountaineering the first time he af
forwards meets her in the, street. If it be
her will she gives some token of recogni-
ton, when the gentleman may bow;
otherwise he must pass on and consider
himself a stranger. No lady need hesi-
tate to bow to a gentleman for be will
promptly and politely answer, even il be
has forgotten his fair saluter; no one but
a brute can do otherwise; should he pass
on rudely, his caractcr is declared, and
there is cheap dd,n,e. Politeness or
good breeding is like law-the treason of
things"
