Wreathed in Courtesy Uncultivated by
the Present Generation.
1t is often remarked that with the fore
fathers courtesy was a studied art that
recent generations do not have time to
cultivate This is quite well illustrated,
says the Utica Observer, i'll the following
letter, which was shown a reporter short
time ago:
WHITES Town June 16, 1898.
Ronored Str: A few months ago you did me
the honor TO become my debtor for the purchase
OF goods at my store, amounting to II dollars
and pence. l have no doubt that small
transaction of this nature may have slipped
YOUR mind, and | trust you will pardon and
excuse me for mentioning it TO you upon this
occasion. Ii you could find ii convenient
to forward it by safe hands the same would
be greatly appreciated, for l am III eXpecta-
ton OF the receipt of some nine barrels
OF extra fine rum, for which shall owe the
which l desire TO pay Mt the earliest conven-
fence. II you should not find il convenient to for
ward the same, take no thought OF what | have
written until you might chance to come this
way, when you may quit the indebtedness IN
your time.
! should be pleased at any occasion to receive
visit from you, and should you be in need Of
rum, axes, log chains or some very heavy boots
for self or servants l should be pleased to sell
them to you. Y'r ob't servant, WIN. GREEN.
1t is understood that Mr.. Green had a
small supply depot near Oriskany Creek,
and his polite and apologize dunning let
ter-so different from the please remit at
once" of the present day-was sent to a
man named Doxtader, who resided down
the Mohawk Valley, somewhere near Fort
Plain.

changer" Not long ago the countess
entertained some four hundred guests
at a ball at Warwick castle. The
guests were attired in the costumes of
the period of Louis XIV. and XVI,
and the stately reception rooms of the
castle had been most harmoniously
decorated in the style of the same
period. Not detail was lacking in
the completeness of the illusion, even
the lighting being carried out by wax
candles and electric light adapted to
the shapes of imitation candles, while
the servants were all in appropriate
dress. The cedar drawing-room was
the ballroom of the occasion, and the
music was rendered by the White vi
ennese band, also in costume. Supper
was laid in the great banqueting hall,
whittier the guests were summoned by
a blare of trumpets. Programmes and
menu cards were printed on Louis
Quinze screens, bearing a miniature
picture of Warwick castle. The design
on the invitation cards was a view of
Warwick castle. The countess of War
wick appeared as Marie Antoinette,
and the earl of Warwick wore the dress
of field marshal of the day. All the
chief personages of the period seemed
to have risen out of the past, SO wildly
were they represented by the various
disting uished guests. The courtly scene
was indeed well worthy of the one cas-
tie in England which was never taken
by any foe in days gone by.
