Hints to Young Gentlemen.


Don't give up your seat in the cars, when you
are tired out with your days work, to pert young
Miss who has been amusing herself with q little
shopping-she won't even thank you for it; and if
man is going to sacrifice his comfort, he has
reasonable right to expect, at least, little graft
tude. No use being polite to some ladies-there,s
an old provefb about casting pearls hefore-what's
ther names?
Don't submit to be crowded off the pavement
into muddy gutter by two advancing balloons of
silk and whalebone. Haven't your newly baeked
boots as good claim to respect as their skirts 2
Look straight before you, and stand up for your
rights like man-the ladies' can contract them
selves little if they see there's no help for it!
DON'T talk literature and the fine arts to the
pretty girls OF your acquaintance until you are
sure they know the difference between Thomson's IS
Seasons and Thomsons Arithmetic. And if they
look particularly sentimental, then you may know
they don't understand what you are talking about I!
Don't ask nice little girl about her dolls, unless
you are very certain she hasn't ''come out I and
been engaged in two or three flirtations already
Don't, say complimentary things to a young lady
at party without first making sure THAI her in
tended is not standing behind you the whole
time.
Don't accept lady's invitation to go shopping
with her, unless you have previously measured the
length Of your purse
Don't stay later than eleven o'clock when YOU
spend the evening with pretty frend-the wisest
and wittest man in Ghristendom becomes bore
after that hour.
Don't believe any woman to be an angel II
you feel any symptoms of that disease, take dose
OF sage tea and go to hed-it is as much malady
as the small pox, and it is your business to get
over it as quickly as possible. An angel, indeed
If you don't find out pretty soon that she lacks
considerably more than the wings, tre are mis-
taken
Don't make up your mind about any creature in
belt ribbon and velvet rosettes without first ask
ing your sisters advice. Depend upon it, one
woman can read another better in live minutes
than you can in five years.
Aud a1n oil IoY,.+
keep your ladytak and gentleman talk in separate
budgets, labeled and sorted, unless you want the
girls to laugh in their sleeve at your Wish-washy
| sentimentalisms. Talk to them in frank, manly
| style, as you would to intelligent gentleman
Don't suppose, because they are women, they don't
/ know anything.
Remember all this advice, sir, and you may
make rather less of a fool of yourself than you
would otherwise.-[Life Illustrated.
