SOcTETY'S WAYS.
Today's Etiquette of Introduction
In Places Large and Small.

In PIACeH Large anu SnA0AAs
The rules of etiquette require, like
instrumental or vocal music, constant
practice to make one au fait. People
who drop out of society, having. once
been important members of it and as
familiar with all its usages as with
their A B C's, often grow rusty and
seek information about the proper
thing to do. While there is in truth
very little change Of vital Importance,
as the laws of etiquette have the test
of ages to render them stable, still new
conditions of life In certain countries
obIige the introduction of new forms,
and what is good form in metropoli-
tan city has no raison d'etre in town
or village, and in the same manner
what is done in London in the best So
ciety may be reversed in Paris.
An interesting point to the majority
of men and women bears upon intro
auctions of all kinds. The majority
depend upon them on all occasions.
At social functions ease of manner,
personal pleasure and individual adj
vantages are derived from them by the
chance of adding to ones list of &C.
quaintances, Of meeting pleasant or
notable people and Of reaping salts
faction born Of vanity in having it
known they were honored or distin-
guished by a few moments speech
with celebrity at particular house.
Present day introductions are with
out any formality at all compared to
the old regime observed through nearly
two-thirds of this century. To "have
the honor to present" is looked upon
as archaic. 1t is far more simple to
introduce Mrs. A to Mrs B by saying,
"You know Mrs A, do you not?" or II
don't know whether you have met Mrs.
A beforeY When one visitor is being
entertained and second Is announced
whom the hostess knows has no inter-
est in her man or woman caller, the
proper thing to do is to make an indi-
rect introduction, which consists in
mentioning incidentally during the con-
'CiSd Ilou just UeSuu lnc udne OF the
person present, in order that he and
she, young girl and lad, may be put at
their ease and to permit them to join in
the conversation.
Another case Is that of two residents
of the same city, but total strangers
to one another, calling at the same
house in immediate succession. No at
tempt, according to good form, should
be made on the part of the hostess to
introduce them unless she previously
knew the introduction would be agree
able. Smaller places would of course
modify the form to suit their sur
roundings.
At very small house parties the house
visitors are introduced to callers, but
at large ones they are not. At large
dinner parties men are introduced to
those they are to take in to dinner.
Small dinners are more informal. Four
or six at table should all know each
other.-Vogue.

A Healthy Sick Man.

An English paper says that one of
William Morris tribulations at Oxford
was the task, equally hard in either
case, of evading or accepting the invi-
tations of DR.. Henry Acland, whose in
timacy with Ruskin and appreciation
of the preraphaelite schcol led him to
offer constant hospitality to the young
painter.
Once, when they were to dine with
DIR. Acland, Morris invented an illness
and sent his apologies by Burne-Jones.
Unfortunately Burne-Jones arrived
with this message when there still
wanted few minutes to dinner time.
Acland, who was all kindness, in
stantly, to Burne-Jones' infinite dis
may, put on his hat and went around
to see the sick man in his lodgings. He
was found, apparently in the best of
health and spirits, sitting at dinner
with Faulkner and playing cribbage
over the meal. He had to confess recov-
cry and be led off to dinner.

the affairs of the empire could reach
such grave crisis as to bring him
from practical retirement would have
been laughed at as absurd. Yet such
crisis has occurred, and Lord Roberts
is again in harness.
"Bobs," as he is affectionately called,
is the idol Of the nation. At the queens
jubilee, when he was in the procession
to St Paul's, he received almost as
much of an ovation as did the aged
queen herself. He IS a soldiers officer.
His very name inspires Tommy At

A Large Brush In China Painting

In painting china a smooth effect Is
desirable In shading one tint into an
other of the same color. as in a leaf
or rose petal or a grape. where one col
or leaves off and the other commences,
must not be detected. This can only
be accomplished by means of large
brush. A large surface can more
quickly be covered and smoothed into
shape by this means than any other
and produces better effect than by
padding. which is apt to give work 9

he had had five horses shot under him
In battle, bad been twice wounded, re-
peatedly mentioned In the dispatches
and had won the Victoria cross. which
constitutes the climax of every Eng
iisaman's ambition.
Inasmuch as Lord Roberts. with
characteristic modesty, refrains from
giving any description in his book as to
how he won his Victoria cross. the only
reference to the matter being a brief
mention in footnote of three lines to
the effect that it had been awarded to
him, 1t may be just as we'll to state
that 1t was conferred upon him not for
one, but for several, feats of con.
spicuous gallantry at the battle of Kho.

instance he rescued a regimental flag
from several sepoys. attacking them

GENERAL METHUEN.

For the space Of three weeks this ex.
petition disappeared entirely from hui
man ken. At length it emerged from
the trackless and, for the most part,
waterless regions between Kabul and
Kandahar and under the walls of the
latter city fought battle and won a
brilliant victory, inflicting crushing
defeat upon the Afghans.
This is not the first time that Lord
Roberts has been ordered out to South
Africa. He was assigned to the chief
command there after Majuba Hill, but
on reaching the Cape found that the
Gladstone government had in the
meantime concluded peace with the
Beers.
In many ways the direct antithesis
of Lord Roberts is General Horatio
Herbert Kitchener, lord of Khartum,
who is second in command. He is
more than six feet in height for one
thing. His reputation has been won

Ethics of the Long Box Coat, Etc.
1t appears that when the long bor
coat came to US from England its tradi.
tons were left on the other side and
not imported with it. There the long
box coats are for driving only. Thew
are employed strictly as wraps and ara
not considered suitable for walking
The three-quarters semisack coats fin
that want. Long fawn boxcloth coats
have stitched bands, with or .withont
fur.
The long coats in satin or velours On
nord are cut in a manner to enhance
the grace of slender figure. They are
mostly rounded off in the front and
bordered with narrow fur, having
high collar, wide revers and cuffs that
fall over the hand. These close fitting
garments, of liberal amplitude, form A
dress in themselves.

Few outside the brotherhood of the

play poker over the wire. 1t is, never
theless, a fact, and the diversion is fair
ly common.

fighting the Zulus. He has found the
Beers very different proposition.
Early in his career he won favor with
Lord WoIseley. This was during the
China war of 1860. He also took part
in the Red river expedition and was
chief of staff in the Gordon relief ex-
petition of 1884. But whatever pres
tige he ever had has been sadly dim
med.
General Methuen's reputation, which
went down in that catastrophe o. the
Modder river, was, it might almost be
said, a heritage. He comes of a dis
tinguished family of soldiers and dip
lomats. AS the heir to a peerage it
was a comparatively easy matter for
him to gain promotion when he went
in for an army career. His active serv-

GENERAL LORD RoBERrs.

But there has been a change Of policy
since Magersfontein and Modder River.
In the early days of the war the
British spoke of ''the expedition" which
they were sending to the Transvaal.
That was when Butler was talking
about eating Christmas dinner in Pre-
toria. The English have ceased to re-
fer to the war as ian expedition"
also they have summoned their best
fighting leaders and sent them to the
front.
Fine looking leaders these men are,
too. each and every one with his repu-
tation, his title and his glittering med
ais. Alas, many of them have left only
their titles and their medalsl Their
regulations. won in India for the most
part, lie buried along the borders of
the Boer republics.
In sending Lord Roberts, the hero of
India, and Lord Kitchener, the hero of
the latest Sudan campaign, the British
war office admitted the gravity of the
situation. Lord Roberts has reached
the verge of threescore and ten. and 1t
was supposed that he had done his
work A year ago the suggestion that

Ii you want to make friends with q
dog, you will find that there is nothing
that this animal likes better than to
have some one rub his ears. If you
will take a dogs ears and curl them
softly up in your hands and squeeze
them very gently, you will make ca
nine friend very soon. If the dog
wears a collar, you can add greatly to
his comfort by scratching that part of
his neck where the collar rests. These
same methods are said to be used by
dog stealers.
Dog tattooing is now done in cities
and is quite a sensible notion. as it
affords means of identifying lost ami
mails. fancier says he has tattooed
dogs for a number of people who own
valuable ones. The marking is mostly
done in the bend of one Of the legs.

How to Clean OiIcIotb

The best way of keeping this in order
is TO nave it regularly rubbed up with
DeesWax and turpentine or with anv
good furniture polish at stated inter-
vals' according to the amount of wear

damp cloth and then well dried but
