Nyw YosK. January 20, 1889.

NEW YORK, January 70, 1888.
.sThere Is nothing 90 commonplace IN
all the world as the meeting Of people
every day. and yet there is nothing 30
really uncommon and rare as the maj
who knows just how TO conduct himself
under these circumstances.
This was the dictum OF the manager
OF a dancing academy. He has msde
the study not only Of ball etiquette. but
general department the specially OF his
life. and has devoted 30 much conscien-
tious attention to it that he is regarded
as an authority upon the nice points OF
conduct by all who know.
THE high art Of being q gentleman
cannot, of course, be acquired by mere
training. There are essential to the
completeness OF the character some IN
born traits, and yet ii is quite possible
for men who do not possess them to pass
for gentlemen because they have master
ed the rules Of department"
Are the rules Of department sesdo~n
in the textbooks ?"
"No. There are books on etiquette,
but the matters / refer TO are seldom to
be found in them-at least, with any
adequate treatment. ] usually give my
instruction by word of mouth or by ex-
ample"
ITARyrsG DEPoRTSfENT.
"Do You ever have pupils to come to
you for the express purpose OF learning
department?
"Very many aud they vary in age
from little children Of six years up TO fat
men Of fifty. IL is by no means uncom-
mon that a man past middle age comes
10 me 10 take his first lesson in dancing,
to learn how TO carry himself in the
street or in the car. 1t IS a curious
speculation as to what leads them at that
time of life to take up this study. 1t
would seem as If anybody who was in-
clined to attend 70 1t at all would surely
have done 80 in his younger days, and L
really suspect that my middle-aged pu-
pills are parrenus. / do not mean to
use the word in the ~dis.greeable sense.
and in fact. / think il very conmenda-
bic that a man who has suddenly &C.
quired wealth or had t.ined some years
of leisure by hard labor should under
take TO fit himself as we'll rs may be for
his new position in the world"
flow do you 20 TO work to teach an
old man these matters? ?"
"Just AZ | do with children. / teach
them fret to walk. As a rule, men walk
best when they walk naturally. but when
they come to pay particular attention 10
matters Of gait and carriage they arc
almost always inclined to some eccen-
t~ricitie. OF movement which have to be
corrected. IL is always the case, too,
that men who come to me wish to learn
to dance. and | put them through the
initial lessons with n view to cultivating
two things-grAce Of carriage, which in
cludes an easy, unconscious control OF
the limbs, and the technical figures OF
the dance. AZ the lessons progress, OF
course, | teach the pupil the etiquette OF
the ballroom, and it will generally follow
that whoever behaves in good form in
the ballroom will not go amiss else
where"
as there a recognized mode of
bowling :"

From Advent 1887 to Advent1SSS, says
the CHurchmda, the conversion OF TWEEN
ty-seven ministers to the Protestant
Episcopal Church we're noted As follows:
Methodist, 8 Baptist, 5 Roman Catho-
lie, 4 /; Presbyterian, 3 Congregational
ist, 2 German Reformed, ! Reformed
Episcopal, and two denominations
not ascertained. Ii is stated by an OBJ
server during the last eleven years that
the average of such accessions for that
time is fully twenty-siX each year but
it is probable that many cases OF conver-
sions are overlooked.
"Questioning = scholar" says the
SunddV-SchoOi Times, sis quite as i'm
portant to the teacher for his own sake
as % the scholar for his sake. A teacher
needs TO know tho limitations of his
scholars knowledge and tho %misconcep-
tons 10 his scholars mind at every point
under examination in order TO he able to
impart added knowledge wisely. and 10
this end free questioning of the scholar
by the teacher is a necessity. II,
indeed, teachers asked more questions
instead OF talking TO their scholars they
would be helped to teach more eifec-
lively"
Father Hecker, Superior-G General OF
the Paulist Fathers, has already a snc-
cessor in the person Of Father Hewitt.
who has been chosen to fill the vacant
place. Father Hewitt is a convert from
Professionalism, as was his predecessor,
but he went TO Romanism from a home
in a Presbyterian msnse. He is the
son of a man who was much vene-
rated in the Presbyterian ministry, Rev.
Nathaniel dewitt, pastor for a number
of years OF the church st Bridgeport.
Conn, famous in his day for his fervent
advocacy OF the temperance reform.
Father Hewitt went early into the Epis-
copal communion and passed through
that Church to the Roman Catholic
Church.
This is the centennial year of the
establishment of the Roman Catholic
hierarchy in the United States. The
Catholic directory for 1889 gives the
following figures: Total Catholic popu-
lation, S,l57, $50 number of priests,

"Yes, there are two. One style that
has really passed ont of recognition is
still seen in the case of gentlemen of the
old school, as we term them. Their
method OF bowling is e relic OF the
minuet, and if you have ever seen that
beautiful dance you will remember it.
The gentleman places his right hand
upon his heart and bends over very low,
and, as | say, only gentlemen OF the old
school OF persons who do not know any
better and toy to apo matters with which
they are not familiar adopt this method.
The proper bow of to-day is q far less
conspicuous movement. The hands
should be kept st the side with the arms
straight. People who are conscious of
their arms and hands probably will never
learn to bow correctly, and those who
have become self-possessed in matters
OF carriage can usually keep their arms
at their sides without their appearing to
be stiff or in tho way. With the arms at
the sides, the bow OF to-day should be
made by a slight inclination OF the head
There should be inst enough OF this for
ward movement to be perceptible and
no more, for then there wonld be danger
Of a burlesque of the form Of ~recogni-
tion."

he had been a man OF somj importance.
and that his memory was deserving OF all
respect She finally decided to invite
some relatives and friends of the family
to stay at the house 20 as to be ready for
the sad event. Letters and kilograms
were accordingly sent out and soon the
invited guests began to arrive. The
door-bell was kept in almost constant
motion for several DAYS and trunks be-
gan to pile up in the balls for want OF
room elsewhere. Finally all the spare
rooms we're filed.
Mr.. Churchill, although very III, seem
cd 10 be amazed by this tdrn Of affairs.
He could not quite grasp the meaning
Of the presence Of so many persons in
the house OF sickness. When it did
finally dawn upon him he appeared to
resent these dnte-mortem preparations
for post-nortem effect. He refused TO
see that either propriety or affection
could inspire such action on the part OF
his wife. The guests found themselves
in q somewhat unpleasant predicament.
They walked through the house on tip
toe, and hardly dared to talk above a
whisper. Their expressions of sympathy
were not received with any degree OF
gratitude By Mr.. Churchill Their
presence outraged him, and his looks
showed that he resented it.
DISAPPOINTED THE UNDERTAKEN.
Whether it was the effect OF indigna-
ton or q determined desire TO thsart the
plans made for his disposition cannot be
said, but certain 1t is that from the day
he learned the purpose of the presence
OF bis guests there was a remarkable
change in his condition, and he began to
improve rapidly. He recovered entirely,
and the guests who were invited to his
funersl we're able to rejoice at his re-
covery.
Their position was not rendered less
embarrassing, however. because Mr..
Churchillis resentment was slow TO van
ish. His wife put away her mourning
dresses in the deepest recesses OF her
closet, but even this did pot mollify his
anger. de, being O sensible man, how
ever, finally concluded that the inten-
tons of his wife were not bad and that
his guests were at all events innocent.
As o result the pipe OF peace has been
smoked, and all is again tranquil in the
Churchill household.
Mr.. Churchill is stronger now than he
was before his last and almost fatal i'll
ness, and the probability is that the
style of Mrs. Churchiil's mourning
dresses will have TO be changed before
she gets a chance TO use them.

Yes. That is an important matter,
and one that displays a mans bad breed
ing about as quickly as anything. The
worst you can do when seated is to cross
your legs in en- ~unpsinly fashion. A
general rule TO follow in such a matter
as this is to avoid making the legs con
~spicuous. Ii is much tie pest plan,
therefore, TO sit with both your feet
squarely upon the floor aud close to-

are listening or merely waiting they had
better be laid upon the lap without

"Is there no recognized form Of greet
ing a lady upon the street ?"
"Yes. Your well-trained gentleman
will always lift his hat. II you were to
90 out upon a public promenade and
watch the people as they pass you may
probably see a hundred different ways
by which the gentlemen in the throng
greet their lady friends. Some men
simply how, some make an od-hand
srlutstion with the arm without touch
ing the hat, others put their fingers to
the rims Of their hats, others tip the
bat a listle forward over their eyes with
ont really removing it from their heads,
and from this there are all degrees to
that absurd practice that prevailed q few
years ago OF taking the hat of and rap
ping the chest with it. That was a silly
lad, and is happily entirely gone out OF
style.
HOW TO SALUTE.
"The proper form consists in taking
the hat by the forward part OF the rim
and lifting it entirely clear Of the head,
but not away from il. 1t NAV be swung
forward very slightly, in order that there
may be no stiffness III the salutation. but
a good rule TO follow would be to carry
the hat forward from the head until the
back part of the rim is just above tue
forehaad-no further than that. The
bat should be Immediately replaced and
the arm allowed to drop to the side, and
this salutstion should be accompanied,
as lar rs possible, by the bow which
spoke of before. One rule which many
men who salute very gracefully do not
understand or forget IS this You should
always lit the hat with the hand that IS
away from the lady. IT is a recognized
law of all department, whether in the
ball room. the parlor. the street, or on
the stage. that no gesture should be made
IN such a way as to hide the face behind
the arm or hand. Therefore, il the lady
approach you upon your right-hand side,
you should lift the hat with the left hand.
Some men seem to have the idea that 1t
is very bad form to salute with the lett
hand. AS a fact, 1t is much worse to put
up the right and thus conceal your face
or partially hide 1t from the party whom
you meet.
EXAGGERATED RECOGNITION.
"There is another matter about this
recognizing Of ladies and friends upon
the street. When you are upon a public
promenade where you are liable to meet
your friends several times in the course
Of q walk passing back and forward, it
is not necessary to raise the hat to them
more than once. If you tip the bat
every time you meet the lady IN the
same day it becomes an exaggerated re-
cognition. so that its respectful quality is
lost. Raising the hat the first time you
meet your friend is like passing the time
OF day and after that il is much better
simply to bow slightly or eyen to smile.
