SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Calling Customs That Have Become Es-
tabiished by Good Usage.


According to the social etiquette of New
York, a hostess must pay a visit to each Of
her proposed guests before sending dinner
invitation to them-proVided she owes them
calls-and it is obligatory that each person
who receives a request to dine, whether ac-
cepted or declined, must make call upon the
hostess within ten days, except when grief or
illness mas been mentioned as the reason for
sending regret. This call should, if posi-
BILE, be made upon the hostess receiving day,
or if not, cards must be left in person.
Calls Of formality are not expected after a
luncheon that is given in simple fashion, but
calls must follow grand and ceremonious
ones within ten days.
Party calls in the usual manner follow a
theatre party which is a pleasing and popu
lar form of hospitality.
After the announcement of an engage
ment, the friends of the bride call upon her
or leave cards. and in the interval between
the announcement and the date fixed for the
wedding, the bride does not pay ceremonious
wedding visits first. Before her wedding
invitations are issued however, she should
leave her wedding card in person upon her
friends. This last call is strict etiquette and
hardly to be dispensed with.

The Olive Tree.

The olive tree, Olea Europa, grows album
dainty in all the countries bordering on the
Mediterranean sea. 1t thrives upon the most
rocky, calcareous soils, seldom exceeds TWEEN
ty feet in height, but is much branched and
spreading; it lives to a great age, and in
creases very much in bulk, SO that one tree
may easily, at a little distance, be mistaken
for group. There is an olive tree at Pescio
seven hundred years old and twenty five feet
in circumference. The trees also grow abun-
dainty in Judea, and there are some still
standing in the Garden of Gethsemane, which
are SO large and old that they are thought to
have been in existence ever since the time of
our Saviour
