Sophist puts the following, case: If q
lady and gentleman call and find the family
at home, is it necessary to leave cards? The
etiquette of cards is as momentous as saliva
tion and as perplexing as the various ways
of salvation. When making first call, un-
u I. H.
the place OF an introduction, and thus let
the entertainer know who she is entertain
ing. As to whether or not they should be
ever presented afterward, there is
diversity of opinion. Some people send
card with the servant every time
they call, while others content them
selves with giving the servant their
name. But this LASH has its drawbacks, as
some servants are notoriously stupid In re-
peating names, and the hostess has to make
her appearance in total ignorance of the
identity of her visitors. 1t probably is best,
except where you are very well known, to
announce your presence by your card. The
woman. however, who dropped her card on
the table as she was going away from the
house after seeing her hostess put it to no
useful purpose, and the action as certainly
founded on no good common sense rule. In
variably cards should be left when the an
nouncement comes to the visitor of "Not at
home"
Miss Corinne Mcfarland, of Washington,
D. c., is visiting the family of Timothy
O'Leary, Esq, of Fifth avenue, being pertic-
uarly the guest of his daughter, Miss Annie
O'Leary. At the Randall Club fete last
O'Learys, it will be remembered that Miss
Mcfarland led the grand march with Gov
ernor Campbell, of Ohio, and was then re-
marked on for her graceful bearing.
The Rev. Mr. Chalfant of Lincoln ave-
nue., East End. has two interesting visitors,
. couple of young American ladies, daugh-
ters of an American missionary, who were
born in Siam during tine residence of their
parents in that country. After Mrs. Will
sons death, her daughters were sent home
to be educated, and one became an in
structor in Southern college, while the
younger is still a student. Both will return
to Siam in the winter to join their father,
who is still prosecuting missionary labors
in that country.
One of the most persistent of pedestrians
is the Rev. Alfred Arundel, rector of Trinity
Church, who sees a walk where others
would see nothing short of drive. During
Mr.. ArundePs visit to Cresson, where he
preached last Sunday. he made various e1-
cursions through the woods and in his en-
thustasm even reached on foot the historic
Prince Galitzin's Church.
