has been hardly time to consider the matter"
"Do YOU not think it proper that such an exaini-

and teachers in the various parishes will nat

They spend on an average while

ment made by Broadway travelling
commission firm to Q journalier. The
importance Of these annual pilgrim
ages, which are increasing year by
year, has developed system of ocean
etiquette that governs the conduct of
what may be termed the best circles of
maritime society,"" Nowadays the
Captain of crack ocean steamer must
not only be first class sailor, but he
must also be man of infinite tact and
method, with a thorough knowledge
of what society" requires at his
hands.
TO sit at the right of the Captain"
at the table at once accordS to the
occupants of that distinguished honor
the highest place in the social scale
on board a ship, and the position is
competed for with an amount Of anx
iety that is very amusing. The senior
surgeon and his assistant when two
are carried) act as deputies, and rank,
socially, next in importance to the
Captain himself. How to accommo-
date the various claims for this COW
eted distinction is matter Of serious
moment. The personnel of the pas.
senger list is closely searched at least
forty-eight hours before the vessel
sails. Very often the purser is called
for consultation, and the difficulty
is finally settled by placing card bear
ing the persons name upon his or her
plate. From this decision there is no
appeal. 1t frequently happens, how
ever, that one or more persons may
consider themselves slighted, and
where it is probable that the imagin>
airy slight will disturb the social har.
mony, the Captain escapes by taking
his meals in his own room.
In the frst>class ships, as the Both
MIA, the Alaska, the Britannia, the
Arizona, the Baltic and the Spain,
which carry from $50 to 200 cabin
passengers apiece, it is becoming the
rule to dress for dinper-ladies in
semi-evening toilet, the gentlemen in
irock coats. A good story is told
By Purser Neppens, of the Cunard
Line: 1T is a rule, sir" said a stew
ard to tall, fair passenger, to put on
a frock coat at dinner" This was
after the vessel had been two days at |
sea. The passenger persisted in wear
ing his suit Of light tweed, and the re-
quest vas reiterated on the following |
day, which happened to be stormy |
one. The vessel lurehed heavily, but |
the passenger appeared in frock coat
of exquisite 6neness. The contents |
OF plate Of soup, however, soon de
stroyed its gloss. and the gentleman |
retired abruptly In confusion. He
said nothing, however, until Liverpool
was reached, when, placing letter in |
the hands Of the purser, he desired |
him to give it to the manager of the
line, Its contents were as follows:
