THE ETIQUETTE OF MOURNING.
Some of the Latest Regulations in Good
English Society.

Boston Gazette.
Here are some of the latest regulations
aL'Auglaise: Mourning for a parent is worn
for twelve months, six months with crepe,
six months black without crepe, then slight
mourning, such as gray or black and white, is
worn for few months longer. The same
rules apply to parents mourning for children.
For quite an infant mourning is not worn
more than three months. For brothers and
sisters mourning. is usually worn for the same
period as for parent, though some persons
consider six months sufficient length of time.
In each case the exclusion from society is for
two months, though of course in this, as on
many other points, one must be guided by per-
sonal inclination and circumstances. For
grandparent, from six to nine months is the time
mourning is generally worn, half the period
with crepe, the latter half without. The time
of seclusion from society is from three weeks
to month. For an uncle, aunt, or cousin,
nephews, and nieces, mourning is worn for
three months, generally without Crepe and
few persons go into society for month. For
more distant relatives mourning is only worn
for month, and seclusion from society is not
necessary. Mourning for step-mother would
be regulated by the relations existing between
her and her husbands children it is usual,
however, to wear mourning for year as for a
parent, A wife would wear mourning for her
husbands relations as she would for her
own. Jet ornaments are the only jew
elry worn in mourning. Jet is dull
for very deep, and bright for slighter
mourning Mourning is generally given
to servants on the death of a member of a
family, such as master, mistress, or child. Ne
mortal cards are quite out of date. Friends
of bereayed family usually leave cards with
'To inquiren written on one corner; return
cards, with "Thanks for kind inquiry and
sympathy" are sent after the funeral. When
persons in mourning desire to enter again into
society they leave cards ON their friends, who
return the cards by visit. In the matter of
/ mourning paper and envelopes some new
styles of these have recently been introduced,
lures made from the long-accepted border,
with address, monogram, or crest in black.
Extremely wide borders are considered bad
form even for deepest mourning. The black
borders of visiting cards, like the edges of
gree of relationship and the time mourning
has been worn.

What a Woman Physician Says About the
Wants of Patients.

What Woman Physician Says About the
Wants of Patients.
New York Evening Sun.
woman physician in the city told most
remarkable thing a day or two ago. "Ittakes
deal of copscientiousness to keep physician
from becoming quack," she said. a"Its
such an easy thing to quack when you know
your patient wants you to, and that because
the patient wants it, it would perhaps be
beneficial in the end. By quacking 1 mean
resorting to clap-trap and unscientific methods,
such as the faith-cure and its like. No one
but physician has any idea how great a
demand there is for this among intelligent
people.
'sThey don't want the honest, straight
forward exhibition of the action of drugs on
the body. They want mystery about 1t,
an exhibition of healing as a divine force
something that appeals to the imagination
And because it is a subject for the imagina-
tion the demand comes not from the ignorant
and unthinking, but from the most intelligent
and best-informed people.
81 have known some of the most logical
and clear-headed people in this city to offer
such resistance to scientific rational meas
sures in medical treatment and insist SO
strongly upon some illegitimate and made
quate course, as to put the honest physi-
clans patience to its last resort.
sit isn't quite that they like 20 be hum

though the physician does They want some
thing for the Imagination to work on. And
that's the stronghold of the quack pfacti-
tioner. 1t takes an honest man or woman

DIPLOMATS ARE MACHINES.
Little Expected of Them Than to Tie
Their Cravats Properly.

Expected OF Inem IMAM TO lie
Their Cravats Properly.
Edmund About has defined diplomacy as
the "art of tying ones crayat'' definition
which would seemingly place most American
representatives abroad outside the pale. Only
the new-fedged diplomat ever thinks of
thinking for himself or of doing anything
upon his own responsibility. The old hand
never takes step without express instructions
from his government, which is jealous OF in
reference with its conduct of affairs, regard
ing as its most satisfactory agents those who
act as mere machines, executing dextero usly
the orders telegraphed orwritten to them.
Thus ministers and ambassadors are at lib
erty to engage themselves chiefly with the
elaboration Of matters of etiquette, which are
of greater importance to-day than ever before,
because the ocean greyhound and the electric
cable have made all the nations next door
neighbors. These ENJOYS find little more ex-
pected of them than to pay calls attend din
ners, and wear their clothes properly; but woe
be to him who pays his calls wrong or ties his
crayat crooked! He will be declared a per-
sonal ingrata and recalled. This subject of
visits is one of the largest consequence in the
preservation of international relations.
