ELEVATOR ETIQUETTE.

NH HE absurd custom which constrains
man To remove his hat in an
elevator when there are women
aboard, seems a trifIe more abb
surd where 1 live than else
where" said an inmate of an uptown studio
building. 1T seems more absurd for this,
reason: The building is more devoted to
business that to residence purposes, and
men walk about its stone -floored halls and
corridors as If they were in the street They
no more think of taking off ftheir hats when
they meet woman-that is. unless they
know her than they would outdoors. Yet
tnese very men, as soon as they enter the
elevator. remove their hats solemnly. as IL
they were performing religious rite. 1
object to the practice, not merely because
II is absurd. but because when the elevator
is crowded it is bad for the hat. Why
man should take off his hat in an elevator
any more than in horse-oar. merely be-
cause women are present, 1 do not under.

One of the perennials of fashion is the

Oriental embroidery.
1t is rumored that earrings are coming
into fashion again, and the Duchess Of

1t is perhaps this consciousness of being
personally and carefully scrutinized that
accounts for the desire of many women to
stand behind chair or a table when
speaking, and to dislike very. much to
stand out unprotected on platform.
