Mrs. Sherwood will each week answer
ten or twelve questions concerning points
of etiquette and manners.
Questions should be addressed to the
editor of The GAZETTE.
1t will be impossible to answer all ques-
tons, owing to the limited space that
can be given to this department. Mrs.
Sherwood viii select such questions as
suggest points of the most general inter
est to our readers.
These questions having reached the
editor, we would answer them to the
best of our ability, promising that as all
etiquette in America is in a chaotic state
(as, witness the recent dismissal of the
English minister, which had it been done
IN like manner between Austria and
France or any other two powers in
Europe, would have been instantly a
cause of war; therefore, opinions differ
so much that these answers are offered
modestly.
''Suburb'' asks: ''Findiug it impossible to
obtain sufficient time to call upon friend, and

settled the titles and boundaries of the
grant, and that congress could not con-
additionally impair or vacate the de-

in other WAYS. One of the "other
ways" was by paying the small fee

encourage the laudable enterprise,
and preferred to become honorary
