Tho Woman With the Fan.

The woman who uses fan in public
assembly must see, If she has any ade-
quate perception Of what she Is doing,
that 6ve-sixths Of the air carried by this
implement Of torture Is thrown into the
neck of the gentleman or lady who sits
in front Of her. She may have read in
works of physiology, and she must have
seen very often in the newspapers, that
pneumonia and kindred diseases are
often the result Of such careless use Of
the fan; but she would not abandon the
habit or forego the slight relief that lit
tie watt Of air brings to her cheek to
save the life of the whole assembly.
We have have had stiff neck mot the
moral, but the physical kind) for several
days following the qualification Of one
who sat behind Us in a church or lecture
room, and we regard the woman with a
fan as the ideal picture Of supreme sci.
fshness. Men are bad enough, but q
selfish woman with fan can take the
prize.-New York Journal Of Commerce
The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1891-11-14

One Of the simplest instincts Of good
manners would seem to be that man
should uncover his head while eating his
dinner with his family; yet 1t is pretty
certain that the first gentlemen Of Eng
land two centuries ago habitually wore
their hats during that ceremony, nor is
it known Just when OF why the practice
was changed. In Pepys' famous Diary,
which is the best manual Of manners for
its period, we read, under date Of Sept.
20, 1904. Home to bed, having got a
strange cold in my head by finging of
my hat at dinner and sitting with the
wind in my neck"
In Lord Clarendon's essay on the decay
of respect paid to age he says that in his
younger days he never kept his hat on
before those older than himself except
at dinner. Lord Clarendon died In 1874.
That the English members Of parlia-
ment sit with their hats on during the
sessions Is we'll known, and the same
practice prevailed at the early town
meetings in New England. The presence
or absence of the hat is therefore simply 6
conventionality, and 80 it is with q
thousand practices which are held, &C
long as they exist, to be the most I'm.
changeable and matter Of course affairs
