ENGLISH ETIQUETTE.
Nm che Matter OF Card Leaving It La Quite
Like Our Own.


Like Our Own.
As 80 many of our customs are
borrowed from across the water, it
may be of interest to learn the Eng
lish etiquette OF card leaving, which
in point of fact differs almost not at
all from the etiquette prevailing in
our large cities.
When lady who calls without
her husband finds the mistress of
the house at home, she should, after
the call is made, leave one of her
husbands cards for the hostess and
one for the hostess husband if she
is married. These cards must be
left on the hall table or handed to
the servant who opens the door for
the callers exit If her husband
Calls with her and has seen his host
and hostess, no card is left If the
host has not been seen, the gentle
man who has called with his wife
leaves a card for him. Where nei-
Ther host nor hostess is athome, one
of the lady 8 cards must be left and
two of her husbands. Exactly the
same rule must be observed when
the caller lives with an unmarried
brother or with a father who is a
widower. His cards must always be
left in exactly the same fashion.
When friend is staying in the
neighborhood and call is made on
her, if the caller is acquainted with
the people of the house, she leaves
her card upon her frst visit to them.
It is not correct to do so, however,
if there is no acquaintance, unless,
indeed, the fact of the mutual
friendship induces both sides to wish
that an acquaintance may be begun.
Girls with invalid or elderly
mothers have frequently to make
calls for them. When this is done,
it il usual to say TO the hostess, 81
must leave my mothers card for
you, as she is unable to do her own
calling" In the same way, when
there are no grown up daughters,
husband is frequently obliged to call
for his wife. He should never omit
to leave her card for the hostess and
to make some little remark Of the
same sort to explain the reason of.
her absence.
Agentleman's visiting card should
be like that of his wife in style and
engraving, but smaller. His name
should appear intthe middle" Mr..
Blank, g" if he is the head of the fam
lily; Mr.. John Blank" if he has a
father or elder brother living. The
prefxshould not be omitted, wheth-
er that of rank, of civil or profes-
sional life. The address should be
engraved in the left hand corner OF
the card at the bottom and the Club
address in ,the.right hand corner. It
is without excuse if they do not
leave cards after an entertainment.
4 gentleman may leave cards with
cut asking if his acquaintance are
at home, but if he finds the mistress
OF the ihousesin and! not her husband
heleaves one,of his cards in the hall
after calling. If both have been
seen, he lleavee no card, but if nei.
ther was at home two must be left.

/. The heirs Of a deceased testator, who

covering such lands after a sale and CON-

on the ground that copy OF the will was
not recorded In the Probate court Of the

such sale was made, or that the widow
