Visiting Manners.

Many of us who pride ourselves on
our good-breeding are singularly blind
as to what is due to friends who are
visiting people unknown to us, or who
are entertaining guests whom we have
never met. Nor are we more assured
as to some of the points of etiquette
toward our own guests and to our own
hosts when we make an occasional fit
ling from home.
1t is useless to decry etiquette by
| saying that the best manners in all
cases are those which hurt no one.
This is true as a general law, but there
| always are some points which leave no
room for experiments as to what will
hurt another, and which vet may he
settled once for all by a few rules.
If you have an acquaintance who is
entertaining friends whom she wishes
you to meet, it Is your duty to call
promptly, and if possible offer some
hospitality TO both guests and hosts.
If the position is reversed, and your
friend is visiting people unknown to
you, never go to see your friend with
out leaving n card for the hostess. If
you give an entertainment for the
friend, be very sure TO invite her hosts
also. 1t does not follow that your in
vitatiOn will be accepted, but if it is,
the hostess must be treated as the guest
of honor and shown every Difference.
If, for instance, the entertainment is a
luncheon for young ladies', she may be
asked to take the seat at the end of the
table opposite to your own.
If the mutual friend is your guest,
you my be sure that, if she is a woman
of good-breeding, she, in turn, will
accept no invitation which does not in
clude you, although you may think
best to decline 1t and insist upon her
going alone. Nor will she receive
visitors without asking you to Join
them in the parlor-should her friends
be rude enough to have sent YOU no
cards. Here, too, you may excuse
yourself, or at most, JOIN them with
such delay as to give them a short
interview alone.
These same rules hold good for Won
when you are the guest. Before you
go to make the vst, send word to your
friends where and with whom you are
to stay, so that there may be no idea
that you are in q boarding house, and
therefore mistress of your time and
surroundings. This constant defer
ence to your hostess should lead you
% order all letters and packages to be
addressed to her care.
As to the disposal of your time, when
yon are visiting, no etiquette requires
you to accept all the plans of your
hostess, if you feel unable to do so;
but care is needed to show that refusal
means lack of strength, not lack of
interest and inclination. With a little
tact on both sides, you will have many
hours for your own.
Indeed, a skilful hostess will manage
to secure you this privilege, and not
make the mistake of working too hard
to amuse You, and SO absorb every
moment of your visit into her idea of
what is pleasure for Won.

me. until my eye caught sight OF an
article headed "Jenks' Dream" lmag-
inc my surprise to find it ended up with
a Recommendation to use DIR. Plerces
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
a great sufferer from sick headache, l
determined to try them, and, to my great
ioy, found prompt relief, and by their
protracted use, complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size of dose.
As a pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as an active, yet painless, cathartic.

sAvoRY JELLY.

Any amount of remnants of poultry
and game can be cut into small dice,
mixed with quarters of hard-boiled
eggs, and put into moulds filled up
with savory jelly, which can just as
well be made of gelatIne dissolved in
stock as of calves feet. This, if duly
seasoned with plenty of pepper and not
too much salt, is delicious. Instead of
poultry scraps, well-picked shrlmps or
prawns make a pleasant change.

good large teaspoon. Bake in a very
moderate oven about ten minutes. The

nicely taken off the paper.

fruit season, nothing is nicer than
fruit salad, which looks very well in a
large glass bowl.

An Anecdota of Greeley.

1t was the custom of Horace Greeley,
one of the most absent-minded of
American journalists, on Sunday fore
noon to attend church, after which he
would saunter down to the Tribune
Office and look through the exchanges.
One remarkably cold Sunday he came
down to the office after church. The
janitor had neglected to light any
fires. Mr.. Greeley went into the
editorial rooms and, his feet feeling
cold, he took off his shoes and rested
his feet upon the stove. Presently the
foreman came down on some GRAND OF
business. 1t was freezing, and there
was cold draught rushing through
the register where Mr.. Greeley sat inn
mersed in exchanges, wholly oblivious
of all sublunary discomforts "Why,
Mr.. Greeley" exclaimed the foreman,
"what in the world are you doing?
There's no fire there, and you'll take
your death of coldr' ''Confound it!'
said the philosopher, pettishly, "why
did you tell me? was warming my
self very nicely."-Once a Week.

A REALISTIC DEVELOPMENT.
Young Women should Endeavor to Reach
an Ideal That All the World Loves.

Young Women should Endeavor to Reach
an Ideal That All the World Loves.
The young woman of to-day should
not be deceived into the notion OF
preferable realistic development be-
cause the novelist of to-day gets her TO
sit to him as his model This may be
no certain indication that she is either
good art or good nature. Indeed she
may be quite drifting away from the
ideal that woman ought TO aim at il
we are to have society that is not al
ways tending into a realistic vulgarity
and commonplace II is perfectly true
that woman is her own excuse for be-
ing, and in a way she is doing enough
for the world by simply being WON
an. 1t is difficult to rouse her to any
sense of her duty as a standard of aspi-
ration. And it is difficult to explain
exactly what it is that she is to do. II
she asks if she is expected to be a mod
ell woman, the reply must be that the
world does not much banker after
what is called the model woman" IL
seems to be more matter of tendency
than any thing else. Is she sagging to-
wards realism or rising towards ideal
ism? Is she content to be the woman
that some of the novelists, and some of
the painters also, say she is, or would
she prefer to approach that ideal which
all the world loves? 1t is question Of
standards
1t is natural that in these days,
when the approved gospel is, that
it is better to be dead than not
to be real, society should try to
approach nature by the way of the
ENTHUSIASTICALLY ignoble, and even go
at such pace of realism as literature
finds it difficult to keep up with; but it
is doubtful if the young woman will
get around to any desirable state of ma
ture by this route. We may not be
able to explain while servile imitation
of nature degrades art and degrades
woman but both deteriorate without
an ideal so high that there is no earth
ly model for it.
Would you like to marry, perhaps, a
Greek statue? says the justly contempt
uous critic
Not at all, at least not a Roman copy
of one, But it would be better to mar
ry woman who would rather be like a
Greek statue than like some of these
figures, without even an idea for cloth
ing, which are lying about on green
banks in our spring exhibitions. --Chas.
Dudley Warner, in Harper's Magazine.
