SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Manners and Customs Practiced in Polite

Manners ana customs Practlced In Polite
Society.
An authority on etiquette, Directing
strongly to the terms Gladly FRIEND and
gentleman FRIEND" gives through The
World the following reasons for so doing:
The terms lady and gentleman have been
and are so misused as to have grown almost
meaningless, and their constant application
to all conditions of life almost vulgar Hence
the term lady friend does not convey any I'M
PRESTON as a rule, beyond that the friend is
feminine one. If intended to qualify, it
can only bear the inference that the person
speaking of my lady friend" has others he
OF she does not consider ladies. Every re-
spectacle woman or girl is presumed to be a
lady, and every reputable man gentleman,
until he or she proves himself or herself to be
otherwise. Among refined and cultivated
people, whose use of language is the best test
OF its correctness, the moment word or
term becomes misused and meaningless it is
dropped. Hence the reaction of late years
among refined people in favor of the old
Saxon terms, man and woman. Lady and
gentleman in other days carried an idea of
persons of good breeding and position. The
desire OF many people to have these terms
applied to them is due to the impression that
their assumption of them, or resentment
when they are not applied, will give to them
qualities and position they do not possess.
Disreputable persons of either sex are often
vehement in their claims to be called ''lady"
or ''pentleman."

Visiting and Reception TOilettes.


Very striking toilettes and bright colors are
worn this season at afternoon receptions and
for making visits. These are Directoire
gowns of flower striped silks, made with a
straight undraped polonaise tied at the waist
in front with ribbons, and trimmed with
broad revers above, or else a deep long shawl
collar Of pale rose or blue silk or moire pink,
green and buff are the colors in the stripes
of such Silks and they are made over skirt
of the material hanging quite plain below the
polonaise. White silk muslin in puffs, with
lace, forms the large cravat at the throat.
The Directoire bonnet has broad crown and
is set quite far back on the head mot merely
on top of it,, and is trimmed with gold en-
broidered band around the crown. and there
is facing of colored velvet or of shirred
tulle inside it's flaring brim.
Rose pink and pinkish mauve dresses of
wool crepe and MORE are also worn by guests
at day weddings. The small bonnet is of
English Grape, or else of net the color of the
dress, and is given character by touch Of
black; thus a pink Grape bonnet with tucks
drawn over narrow pink ribbon has its brim
edged with crushed pink. roses on which falls
gathered black lace; the strings are of black
lace tied up in close bow, with some narrow
pink ribbon for strapping it.
The new toilets seen en- Fifth avenue have
very small tournures, and already large
tournure entirely destroys the good style of
a gown, as nothing looks SO old fashioned as
the fashion which has just gone out; fortu-
nately it is an easy matter to lower the steels
of last years skirts, leaving out the third
steel altogether, and diminishing the heavy
and unwholescme pad hustle to half its size.

A Mysterious Knock.

Some years ago gentleman moved into a
new house with his family. Shortly after
he was aroused in the middle of the night by
distinct knocking at his bedroom door, He
called out, "Who is therel" but there was no
reply After a few minutes the knocking
was repeated as distinctly as before. Again
the question was asked, "Who is therew and
again no reply. The third knocking was
very loud, and the irTitated gentleman sprang
out of bed and rushed to the door, deter
mined to catch the knocker. But there was
no one outside!
1t did seem rather mysterious, and the be-
wildered man returned to bed with a beating
heart and ears painfully awake Again came
the knocking, clear and distinct as before
Although feeling rather uneasy, the gentle
man crept silently to the door, and lay down,
with his head on the boards, few feet from
the door, to find out if possible from what
part of the door the knocking proceeded.
When it came again he could distinctly refer
it to the lowest panel. Suddenly he opened
the door, but again with no result. He dis
covered, however, the knuckle bone of leg
of lamb, and fixing his eyes on this, he saw,
that it was jerked repeatedly against the
skirting of the boards.
The mystery was now revealed. A mouse had
dragged this bone to the entrance of its hole,
but could not pull it through 1t was hold
ing on by the tough bit of sinew attached to
the end of the bone, and was jerking it back
and forward, thus producing the knocking
sound which had seemed SO mysterious
This story shows that many sights and
somSls which seem mysterious may be ex.
planned by a little perseverance and common
sense
