Hints on Etiqaet-- The HOme---COn-

A correspondent asks the following:

A correspondent asks the following:
When a gentleman calls lady, should she
accompany lm 10 the door IN leaving, and would
Il be proper TO ask him TO call again?-AiyEtie.
First. let Myrtle remember that etiquet is
founded Oh common sense, and that good taste
and good Judgment constitute the essence of
true politeness. An absolute yes or no would
not decide the question proposed in any case.
In a CITY, where there is a servant to answer
the door and usher in arriving guests and speed
their departure. /; would be great breach of
propriety for young lady to follow gentle
man unless occupying the nearest and
dearest relations 10 herr TO her door. She
should receive him inside the parlOr or draw
ing-room, and his adieus should be spoken be-
fore leaving the room. He then retires to the
hall, invests himself with overcoas and hat, and
takes his departure.
If however, the lady upon whom the gentle
man is calling lives in a house where no serv-
ants are employed, and her father or mother is
not conveniently present to do the honors of
the house, the young lady is expected to see
that her caller makes his entrance aud his exit
without confusion or embarrassment 1t would
be ridiculous 10 allow gentleman to grope his
way out, after q helpless fumbling at strange
locker, alone and unattended. Ii is the ladys
place to precedc him to the door, open it, and
bow him politely out.
To the second question, is it proper to ask
q gentleman calling upon you to repeat his
yes. provided the call is agreeable and you
would continue the acquaintance. 1t would be
impoiite to urge him to call, but you may prop
erly say: " / would be glad to see you again"
or Call again, Dir. Smith" without seeming
10 be over-anXious to claim his attentions, some
thing always offensive to a modest young lady.
This is very different from the custom OF some,
always in very bad taste, of urging every casual
acquaintance 10 do CALL" and won't you
come very soon and spend the evening" As
was before remarked, innate refinement and
good taste viii make all these things plain and
simple. Never DE afraid of showing kindness
and hospitality to true gentlemen, who will not
impugn your motives or abuse your confidence.
OF all others it is well to beware under all cir
cumstances.

EDITORS CHAT.
A young friend tells us that education is
better than wealth. writing the first personal
singular 81" low does this strike the eye of
the Club?
Some of our Young friends would do well to
remember that accept" means To receive and
Except" TO refuse anything. Many of them
use the words in writing SO as to transpose
their meaning.
The young peoples discussion of the ques-
ton, Education Better than Riches" is very
creditable, viewing the subject from every
standpoint.
The young gentleman who spells photograph
thus, 81 fotograf,' cannot expect the editor TO
put in his request for letters. The boys and
girls should learn TO spell before asking CORE
spondence
The editor cannot give the splcc they de-
serve to the letters which come bearing true
name and address and has no use for anony-
nous contributions, however good
Here is question for the Club to discuss:
Is it proper to say Of a lady She looked nice,'
or of gentleman lie looked WE'LL? If not,
what should you say?
