society that leave-taking has been re-
duced to fine art, says the Chicago
Time Herald. Nowhere in this coun-
try are visits and visiting made 50
much a matter Of business. When the
call is at an end one who is not, from
long habit. accustomed to formal visit
ing, should keep in mind the point of

thing she wishes to say, rise quickly
and easily and shake hands with her
hostess, making some pleasant, friend

directly out.
1t is impossible in the rules which
govern all social intercourse to direct
anyone how to act under given circum-
stances. because we cannot presuppose
any and every situation. Confidence
and simplicity are the great requisites.

Jersey City Heights has brought out
a new game in the swindling trade.
Anywhere between II and o'clock in
the morning the bell Of house in some
good locality will be rung and as the
disturbed householder puts out his
head he sees young woman on his
doorstep.
Can you give me something for a
pain?" she says breathIessly. MY
mother has been taken with violent
pains and | can't leave her long
enough to go to the drug store
The first man appealed to offered the
girl a glass Of whiskey, saying that
whiskey was the safest thing to take
for an indefinite pain, and with this
she gratefully departed. On relating
the circumstance the next morning, the
man discovered that four Of his neigh
bors had been aroused in like manner
and had each contributed whiskey
One man had added camphor and an
other witch hazel Two days later he
met another neighbor, who confessed
that he had been visited the previous
night and had cheerfully parted with
bottle of whiskey. This neighbor
was strong temperance advocate,
and the whiskey being bought as medi-
cine, had never been opened.
The woman comes Of a respectable
family. who say they hope she will be
given UP to the authorities; all their
efforts to reform her have been use
less. and no vigilance they can exercise
is too strict for her to eIude. Sipp
avenue and tina Boulevard have been
among the most successful fields for
