a carriage first. After much argument the
following conclusions have been reached
IF the host be a woman she should enter
first. and should seat heraelf so that her
guest shall sat 81 her right, but she should
not neglect to explain to her guest that she
wishes her to occupy the seat OF honor at
her right. ....s
If the host be a man the guest enters
the carriage first and takes the seat TO tho
right of where tho host Ia TO sit. In enter
ing a carriage q gentleman should never

samer in order TO be fortified against the
weather, because to wrinkle, spot or dampen
that new l3-Ruinea dress would constitute
an ofiense more R~riovous than tho sum of
the seven deadly sins. Moreover. that fine
gown attracts beggars and invites pick
pockets; 1t compela . liberality that il false
