The extracts which the T. C. recent
ly gave from the Society Rules, ''about
TO be published for the education Of the
Bric-a-Bracks, met with such a demand
that he now adds a few intended espe.
eially for young men, those previously
quoted being principally for the gentler
sex. As a manual for hall room ETH
quette it Is unequalled:
"When you enter a house, after ma
king your deyoir 10 the hostess, stand
in a debonnaire sort Of fashion near the
entrance to the ball room, with fore
finger Of left hand in w~aistcoat pocket,
the right appraised twirling the end of
your mustache. Calmly survey the
girls. as If taking their points. IL you
ind any of the dear creatures looking
at you, half close your eyelids and give
her a glance, as though saying ia ta.'
Then another yawn, and withan air Of
intense WEAKNESS, rs if bored with eve
rything around, advance leisurely
10 the girl whom you Ia Ve select
ed 10 favor with the next waltz. Never
commit such a gducherie as to u
you could be refused, but with a lazy
air put out your hand, saying This is
mine, l believe and whirl her of into
the may dance before she has time to
reply TO you. Should she be engaged
TO the young fellow just approaching to
claim her, all the better: you are all
right Possession is nine points of law,
you know.
There are invariably present a num-
Der of young ladies whom in terest and
policy point out 10 you for duty dances.
They give good dinners, large balls, or
they belong to the exclusive set, and il
looks well TO be seen among them. A
quadrille or lancers Is all you need
venture with them, being careful to re-
turn them to their chaperone imme-
diately thed dance terminates. 1t Is a
painful fact that the eminently desira-
BILE girl, in a worldly point of view, is
generally anything but an agreeable or
attractive one. Why this is thus, is
thus explained 10y the law OF com-
pensation.n
SHOULD there be any pretty, foolish
little thing present to whom you have
been rather devoted for a ball or two
past. let prudence keep you away from
her vicinity, till, seeing her innocent
eyes expressing the anxiety she has not
b sense to disguise, give yourself the
relaxation from duty OF just one turn
with the poor girl, IL only to bring back
the smiles back to those rosy lips. This
has a good effect on your own enjoy
ment OF the evening, q feeling of be-
nevolence being n wonderful thing for
the expansion OF the organ called n
heart.
supper getting is a nuisance, ruin
ing ones gloves and making one feel
like n waiter. Should, therefore, n
young lady suggest supper, assure her
supper is bad form for young people,
and very detrimental to lightness in
dancing"
'Chose the time for your own supper
when the crowd have been fed. You
see n cosy nook where a piquant mar
ried woman is surrounded by edibles and
bottles innumerable. You naturally
are delighted TO make one of the num-
Der serving her, but somehow you sink
into a chair by her side and become
the waited on, sharing Ler supper,
brought by the other fellows, with all
the GOODNESS imaginable"
always be calm. Never show the
least suspicion OF emotion of any kind.
Let the women make love to you-the
poor sex being impregnated with what
our French cousins call Jesoin d'diDler
and they therefore escape responsibility,
and being called TO book, etc.,"
The hints on society life are varied
we have not space TO enumerate them
all, but feel the above will illustrate the
value of the ''Social Forms of Eth
quette" to the jetmcSse dorec of our ci-
ty.
