ETIQU UETTE.

Ho,o TO Begin the Ddy.-Rise with the lark,
but not for one Be very careful to attire your
self neatly; ourselves like our salads are always
the better for a good dressing Shave unms-
takably before you descend from your room;
chins, like oysters, shonld have their boards
taken off before being permitted to go down.
Start with determination to be agreeable and
good-tempered, and that like an overwhelming
fire nothing shall put you out Should the tea
not be hot take it coolly should the ham be
salt, emulate the philosophic Bacon, and having
made few pleasant observations about the milk
of human kindness, the sugar of domestic fell
city, the cup of happiness being full, and the
butter resembling an actor in fresh part
because it appears in new roll, conclude with
the appropriate ballad of "Let the Toast Pass"
cracking fresh eggs and stale jokes simulta-
neously.
Ho,c TO Act AfteraDdrdS.-H in a country
house, after breakfast is a somewhat dull time,
and the really amiable person should do his very
utmost to enliven the general gloom. Nobody
but brute writes letters. The exception may
be made in favor of one letter written to the bore
who loiH send you q batch "to be forwarded"
from town. You may send him q stinger by all
means. Agree to anything proposed by any
body. If it's billiards, say you are in cue for it;
if it's walking put your leg foremost if it's cro-
quet, throw over all for mallet-y if it's cricket,
stir your stumps; if it's shopping, say BUY all
means;" if it's a ramble in the woods, admit you
are ''good lul 4lu''is.
HoU to Act at Luncpev'.; ;-Luncneon Is Jolly
meal, With Tie exception of breaktaso, eiiin'i'
ia, and supper it is perhaps the jolest meal OF
the day. 1t is breakfast arrived at years of dis
cretion; dinner with all the charming error and
heartiness of yonth, Never despise luncheon.
Eat a good luncheon. 1t is natural, and is eti-
uuette Besides luncheon is sort of halfway
house in the days Journey and by the time we
used to reach that stage our coach companions
and ourselves had generally become quite
friendly and pleasant Always eat pastry at
luncheon-none but maniacs touch it in the
evening. Don't attempt to be clever, save all
your small wit for seven o'clock, it locks like
the real thing by candle-light. Gas, too, gives
briliancy to a Brummagen bon-mot, which
would stand forth as paste pure and simple in
the midday light of luncheon.
