gress the laws of politeness were called
to this matter, some might thereby be
led to take heed unto their ways, for it
cannot be supposed that any right
minded person wishes to make her
friends afraid of her, or desires to be
numbered among them, and hold a
place upon their visiting lists simply
through sufferapce.
But do you not perceive, beloved
questioners, that as regards certain of
your acquaintance, presumably, too,
those whose friendship you most prize,
these things will result from your
thoughtless, possibly politely inten-
toned inquisitiveness, as surely as
from the impertinent curiosity Of Mrs.
A. or the mischief making of Mrs. B.,
whose failings you deplore and whose
society you avoid?
Doubtless to persons of certain
mental cast your interrogations are
agreeable, but Dorinda and many an
other are not of these, and if it be not
clearly manifest to you to which class
an individual belongs, then, 1 beseech
you, steer your conversational bark
clear of all personal questions that are
open to doubt on the score of accepta-
bility.
Let this rule, dear inquiring friends,
lay, from henceforth, its restraining
hand upon your lips, and many sensi-
tive soul shall bless instead of fear you.

Music Hath Charms.

Gontran occupies apartments imme-
diately below pianist and composer,
who kicks up terrible rumpus all day
long. The other day, maddened to fury
by the incessant row, Gontran ran up
stairs and burst into the room of his
tormentor: "Sir. can't stand this any
longer. You would bring corpse to
life! What are you playing now?''
"That," coolly remarked the pianist,
gently, combing out his hair with his
fingers, sis slumber song."-La Voix
du Peuple.
