What Those Long Nights Mean

All, yes, fond youth! It may be very
nice to court girl in the far northern
countries where the nights are six months
long; but think of the vast amount of
peanuts and gunadrops the young man,
when going to see his girl, must lug
along with him in order to kill time and
induce her to believe that his affection
for her is as warm as ever. And then
the sad leavetaking a few weeks before
sunrise! He whispers, 'Goodnight, love, y
and she softly murmurs, Goodnight,
dear. When shall I see you again 2"
Tomorrow night" he replies, as he kiss
es her upturned face. ssTo-morrow
night" she replies. with a voice full Of
emotion. "Six long Weary months!
Can't you call around few days before
breakfast, Charles2" Finally Charles
tears himself away, with promise to
write her one hundred and sixty letters
before the next day draws to a Close
No7ristoson Herald.

Points in Etiquette

Letters should never be crossed.
Anonymous letters are beneath notice.
Letters OF introduction should be brief.
yours, DC, is a rude ending to let
ter
Never wait over fifteen minutes for a
tardy guest.
Say "dood-by," and not "Good-
ing"
Upon introduction at once enter into
conversation.
Upon leaving room one bow should
include all.
a call should not be less than fifteen
minutes in length.
"Genteel' and "gentility'' are words
tabooed in good society. -.
Strangers arriving should notify friends
by card OF their presence. p
Regrets in reply to invitations should
contain the reason thereof.
At table you are not required to thank
the one who waits upon you.
invitations for evening parties should
be issued in the name OF the hostess only.
'Yours truly" is the correct form for
closing business, not for friendly letters.
You should exchange calls with indi-
vlduaIs before inviting them to your
house.
Only letters TO unmarried ladies and
WIDOWS are addressed with their baptis-
NAL names.
10 return personal call with cards
enclosed in an envelope signifies that Wis.
1tlng between the parsons is ended.
Unless there is great difference in
age lady visiting should not rise, either
on the arrival or departure of other
ladies.
