Etiquette Notes.

Dyed hair is considered bad form. 1t Ger.
tainly is in the worst possible taste and
never deceves any person; neither does It
make any one look more youthful.
1t is vulgar TO overload the fingers with
rings, no matter how beautiful the hand or
the jewelry. A few very choice rim, S, say
two. are quite sufficient to wear at once
When leaving a party or reception it Is
not necessary TO take leave OF any person
but ones hostess or hostesses, and the
etaking and departure should be done
as quietly as possible.
For simple yet perfect little dinner
four courses are sufficient; they may con-
sist OF soup. a roast with It's suitable vege-
tables, u salad, and sweet dish; for in
stance pudding, or ice cresm and black
coffee
1t is not considered polite to smoke In the
presence o; ladies, and young women
should not permit it, or encourage it hy
easy tolerance. man who is gentleman
and who respects woman can and does
deny himself the pleasure of smoking when
he Is In her society.
