CADET ETIQUETTE.
Some Anomalies OF the Rules OF Social
Life ut West Point.

The etiquette Of West Point is GER
tainly a curious institution. 1t has been
evolved on of the peculiar conditions
which exist ut the military academy.
and only those who have been there can
fully appreciate how harmless and prop.
er 1t seems in its surroundings.
For instance, when a cadet receives
permission TO make out a girls hop
card, he signs her name, with his own
opposite, in a book provided by the hop
managers for that purpose. Then, any
other youth who wishes to dance on
hat girls card knows to whom he must
apply for them.
Many are the complications arising
from this system, and it behooves him
who wishes to dance with a belle to APP
ply early, least he find her, card full,
says the Illustrated american.
Often, when there are few girls visit
ing on the post, a man who has been
fortunate enough to secure one and who
wishes to dance q good deal himself will
refuse to give dances, except to such as
can give them in exchange.
A story is told of one astute youth
who wished for more than his allotted
four dances, yet feared it would look
strange for his name to appear six or
eight times. In order to overcome this
difficulty he put down the names of the
guard detail that day.
They, of course, could not be present;
80 when the time came for their dances,
with profuse apologies he appeared be-
fore his charmcr and explained that Mr..
IlHnlInhn knnS xYAi1,llV IANsaal
and might he offer himself instead?
At graduation hop, however, there is
usually such a multitude of girls that
many men make out more than one
card, and rumor hath it that once a
"spoony" youngster was nearly driven
frantic in a vain effort to keep thirteen
cards from being tangled up, But then,
cadets will exaggerate.
There are other reasons why this hop
Is an important event at West Point.
Not only does IL mark the departure of
the hedgling l~ieutenants from their
hitherto well-guarded nest, but it also
brings socially to light the erst unde-
veloped of the plebe or lower
class.
Throughout the first year at West
Point regulations and custom do every
thing to suppress the exuberance which
freshmen at other colleges feel, and the
plebe is taught to consider himself SC

his first year has clicked him into shape
And, in the long run, this view is about
correct.
If a maiden comes to West Point with.
out friends at the academy she can have
her hop card made out just the same by
sending her name to the hop managers
They will provide partners for her and
introduce them at the proper time. And
this is another of those anomalies tc
which West Point etiquette gives rise
