the nose, says Berlin paper, is a conse-
quence OF the wearing of a veil in win
ter. The discoloration is most prbnounc-
eu at those points where the veil is most
intimately applied to the face. The ef-
rect is due partly to the mechanical action
OF the sharp and rough texture upon
sensitive skin. and to the influence of the
Watery yapor that collects within its

whether low should be made or wheth-
er 1t would be more correct not to bestow
this mark of recognition uron this or that
person 1t can be readily understood to
make mistake in tn s matter-that is to
say to bow to enc who is not expectant of
the clvility-is hum Hating experience, the
reverse of pleasant, and therefore ii is not
surprising that, when any indecision ex-
lists, the opportunity for bowling is not
taken advantage Of save by those who act
on the impulse Of the moment without al
lowing themselves time 10 consider the
for and against.
Men as well as women, says the Phla-
delphia Times, are concerned in this cues
tion of bowling, and a very frequent in
stance with regard TO bowing in this res
pect is constantly brought to our notice
VIZ. when Two men are walking together
and they meet lady known only to one of
the two; the one wfo is a stranger TO the
lady In question bows TO her and wonders
whether he was right in so doing; or the
wonder is on the side of the lady. and
she asks Why did that man take off his
hat to me?" We can only say
that man who bows to lady
he does not know-however wen
acquainted she may be with the
friend by whom he is accompanied-makes
social mistake; he is not expected to Of
fer this mark of respect to a stranger, and
there is goed sense in this ruling, as il
would oblige her either to ignore the sau-
tation altogether or to coldly return 1t,
thus reversing the English custom, which
DEGREES that lady should take the inia-
tive in the matter of bowing. To pursue
the matter further, it may be said that at
subsequent meetings some little awkward
ness could moi fail to arise and "Do l
know this mann? or DO know tn wo-
MANI" would be at the moment difficult
question to answer. Old-fashioned ideas.
however, on this subject are not easy TO
eradicate, and some men still obstinately
hold that they should take off their hats 10
those lsdles who either low 10 men with
whom they are walk ng, or who stop and
speak, 10 the no little surprise of the la
dies so honored. Another side OF this ques-
ton is that when husband and wife are
walking together, and man ncds TO the
husband, he not unfrequently takes off his
hat to the wife, although she does not
know him. To do this is clearly an error
of judgment, as the friends of a husband
are not always those he cares to introduce
10 his wife. But, apart from this, to low
to lady under such conditions is not in
accordance with etiquette.
Another phase in bowling which comes
under our notice now and again relates to
bowing to people known only by sight.
Under certain conditions II is correct to
bow, under others it is the reverse. AS
an example of its being the right thing to
do, 1t should be understood that when,
as is often the case. calls have been ex-
changed between two families, and they
have not as vet met, although known to
each other by sight, they could exchange
bows if disposed to do so, and could also
stop and enter into conversation, when
mutual regrets at not being at home etc,
could be expressed. Although it Is quite
permissible to take this line, many prefer
not thus to introduce themselves, and to
await a more favorable opportunity. On
the other hand, however well people may
know each other by sight, it does not
give them the privilege of commencing a
bowing acquaintance. In provincial towns
this phase of the subject not unfrequently
presents itself, and an inclination is some
times felt to set aside this received rule Of
