SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
SufTerings That the Shy and B1underinG
Inflict on Themselves and Others.


Inflict on Themselves and Others.
misery loves company" is the old saying:
therefore, the shy person and the blunderer
may take comfort in being reminded that
many another has gone through the 'agonies'
of society before him. Prominent among
these agonies, as depicted by Mrs Sherwood,
is that of having said that which lone would
rather have left unsaid.H The cold chills
and the shivers and the burning fever in the
cheeks which follow these unhappy acct
dents can be remembered by us ALL A re-
mark illustrating this was made to lady,
who met an old friend who was glad to see
her. ~ am glad to see you so happy and
prosperous, my dear" said he. Your
fathers old friends had feared that you had
not married quite as well as you ought to
have done" The gentleman opposite, who
happened to be the husband, did not seem
to appreciate this remark.
The humiliating consciousness of having
made a false move must accompany us in
many game besides that of chess, and per-
haps it is q part of some constitutions to be
always doing the wrong thing. One of the
agonies is to make an elaborate apology for
not having gone to your friends, and to have
her say; why! thought you were there!''
We are not of half so much consequence as
we think we are, and therefore, what sensitive
people construe into insults are not in nine
cases out of ten intended as such.
''Were YOU ever cut-cut dead" says the
heroine of a novel.
''No, always think people are near sighted,
or thinking of themselves" was the sensible
reply.
Another agony, after failing ourselves,
is to see somebody else fail There he
goes, putting his foot in IL again," said
a friend, observing the foundering of his
brother in a conversational sea. 1t is
dreadful to hear q reader break down, a
singer give up his song. 1t is also an
agony to hear two women saying great
deal more than they mean about some prom
inent scandal, each led on by volatile tenn
permanent and an easy fuency, not with the
downright intention of maligning and mis-
representing a friend and acquaintance, but
simply stimulated by the interest Of the occa-
sion and each emulous to know more than the
other Would that we could
Ring in the nobler modes of life
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Then no shy person would be embarrassed,
no sensitive person ''cut." No agonies of So
ciety would be endured if everybody were
kind hearted and well bred. TIE careful
chronicler of society in the days of Charles
Il, Old Pepys, however, describes the same
agonies; he was fond of COMMUNICATING his
own blunders. How he took all the pudding
sauce at dinner, thoughtlessly, and saw
everybody else looking at his plate obviously
and we have one thousand and one Aneri-
can confessions that, where pleasure and lux
ury rule set in which there is no tradition
of good manners, there must be these occa-
sional false moves.
