TRUE POLITfNESS.

Mrs. Livermore recently related the
following incident:
Twas once the recipient of very marked
politeness. When was in London my
husband and | received a verbal invita-
ton from Lady Villas, whom | had met
once or twice pleasantly. to come To her
house next evening and meet few friends
of hers. We accepted and went. But
was deceived by the informality of the
invitation and supposed it was merely to
meet half a dozen neighbors or intimate
friends of hers. So we went out riding in
the afternoon. stopping there on our way
back TO the hotel. Judge of my amaze
ment to find the house illuminated and a
very large and brilliant party assembled
in full dress in my honor. There ! was
in a plain carriage-dress, bonnet and
black gloves | went into the house and
to the ladies dressing-room, whence | sent
a note to the hostess saying that | had
Inexperienced her invitation and was
not in appropriate costume. She ran up
and reassured me by telling me they had
come to see me and didn't care for the
dress. and carried me right down with
her. All in full dress and the ladies with
out hats, and hair deliberately dressed, |
with brown dress. bare hands, bonnet on.
I soon recovered the Selfpo>,cSSion which
the tduI pas somewhat disturbed, and was
greeted with splendid cordiality In "A few
minutes Mr.. Livermorc edged around be-
hind me and whispered: Didn't you
