talking with Mrs. A. lately, who, they
say, is on the eve of separation with her
husband, and who, 1 am sure dyes her
! hair, and who, l have beer told, is an I'M
successful aspirant for literary honors.
Mrs. u. came up, and with the best inten-
lions in the world, between US, we nearly
finished poor Mrs. A. There was no sensi-
tive topic that we in our embarrassment
did not touch upon and then desire to
change the subject.
Il am so particularly unfortunate in this
respect that the other day, when l went
to call upon a woman wearing a wig, l
kept saying to myself before she came
down to the drawingroom: Susan CHATS

wig" and the very first thing l blurted
forth when she happened to say that it
was very windy was, Yes, it is enough to
blow ones wig off.
The fatal attraction that causes people
to make uncomplimentary remarks about
near relatives is proverbial, and it be-
hooves a stranger to be careful in his
comments in a mixed assemblage.
Il say, old fellow" said a man to a BUSH
ness friend, meeting him at a social re-
union, did you see the woman 1 took in
to supper? Wasn't she bitter ugly? And
she was as stupid as she was plain"
Il saw you with my siSter-in-law," was
the answer, which might have been expect

remarks seem ated to come home to

Inquiries for different members of the
family are some times awkward, and those
who have been out of their world for sew
eral years should be cautious in distribut-
ing their civilities. A lady recently re-
turned from a prolonged sojourn in
France, gave a coming-out dance for her
daughter. She wished particularly to be
gracious, and distinguished herself by say
ing the wrong thing to every one to such
an extent that she became famous, but
hardly in a desirable fashion-proving the
truth that 1T is better to seem negligent
than to run the risk of betraying absolute
! ignorance.

A lady whose hospitality was mingled
with economy, and who was giving a
| luncheon at the Waldorf, thus instructed
| her daughters:
! "Three portions are quite enough for six,
and with the two Smiths, ourselves, Jen-
ME D. and Miss A, there will be seven.
| So remember, Mary you are to refuse
| eetbreads; Minnie must refuse chops,
and 1 will refuse the dessert" But, to the
| good lady's CONSERVATION, her girls got
| hopelessly mixed; both refused sweet
breads and both took chops, making the
short allowance of the latter most obvi-
Gus.
A country lady appearing unexpectedly
