Judge Murphy, who was present at the st.

which are vital to its prosperity. Col. Utley
closed the afternoon session with a fine
expression of the statistical advantage
that would follow the opening of the Hen

Who Should Row First,

Who should bow first? Some authorities in
sist that gentleman should not bow to lady
until she bows to him; the author OF the
american Code of Manners" says that this is
all wrong: "a gentleman should always bow
first to lady, no matter whether she returns
1t or not; II he sees by her face that she
does not wish to return 1t he can refrain
from bowling the next timer This is on
the ground that "a lady, particularly an
elderly one or society leader, perhaps has so
many acQuaintances that she does not re-
member all the young men who have been pre-.
sented." This, however, does not seem to set
tie the question conclusively, for 1t may be- that
the young man has quite as many acqualnt-
ances as the lady, even If an elderly one. He
may himself, too, very likely be society
leader; In fact, very large number of the
leaders OF society at the present time are Of
what would have been considered fifty years
ago q comparatively immature age. Our own
opinion Is, and it has been arrived at after long
reflection, that both persons should bow stimuli
taneously; perhaps In the case of very near
sighted persons little latitude might be given,
providing the fact of myopia can be clearly
proved by medical evidence. There is how
ever, always danger In these exceptions to 30
cal rules, and therefore 1t may be safer for
ear.sighted persons to bow In all cases of
doubt, accustOming themselves to do this with
uniform courtesy whether they are themselves
recognized or nOt-The Nation.
