OK some time early in May and later
will go to either Newport or 70 the 9TH

10 go to Paris this year. It's bound to
be deadly dull after the wild hurrah of
last summers exposition,
Yesterday the late mail brought me a
note bearing Peggy Clements well
known signature, She has just come
back from the south. where she has
had the joliest time imaginable. Peg

anxious to see her that | called at an
unearthly hour and was told that she
was still In bed However was not
to be put off, and so / ran up stairs
past the astonished servant Che is a

The dear girl received me with open
arms. She was sitting up in bed drink
ing a big bowl Of chocolate. and she
looked the picture of health. She Is as
brown as berry, which comes Of fair

finished her chocolate she thrust a
novel into my hands and disappeared
through the portieres into her little
dressing room.

A POINT OF Etiquette,

II is certainly not according to strict
etiquette to open the door even for
ones intimate friend when the ostab-
lishment is such that there is a servant.
There IL very good reason for this APP
parently foolish formality. II may be
that the visitor, no matter how init
mate he or she may be, has only stop
ped TO leave a message and has not in
tended to come in, or 1t may be you
were mistaken In thinking you knew
the person who was entering the house,
and It may be some one you do not care
to see. So that the few moments de-
lay of having servant answer the bell
is not of any consequence compared to
preventing what might be an awkward
meeting.

WOMAN'S ODD LITTLE WAYS.

I won't have you coming in over my

Mr. Bobbsy obeyed meekly, as was
fitting. His wife hurried after him,
saying to the ladies':

As they walked away from Mrs
Bobbsy's front gate Mrs, Binxey said
TO Mrs. Minxey:

In the dance, when simply a graceful
figure is required. II you would bow
gracefully, always remember that the
more joints used in an inclination the
more grace you put into It, The most
graceful woman incllnes her body from
the waist, though a perfectly natural
and artistic greeting or acknowledge
ment may be given by a simple move
ment OF the head only.
1t is an indignlty for one to finish the
bow before the person for whom It Is
rendered has fully passed, and when
raising the head after the recognition
II should assume another curve than
the one on which 1t inclined
Mems bows are too often given with
one Joint instead of more, and then
there is the additional bother Of the
hat about which volumes might be
written.
The we'll bred man will lift his hat
with the left hand and incline his body
slightly forward his arm extended at a
right angle with his head any man.
ner Of eXaggeration either I'm the for

stamps a man as being either Ill bred
or a fool.
II one notice ones friends or oneself
even, II is quite apparent that when
overanxlous to make a good impression
or to gain favor in another's eyes IL is
the most natural thing to throw an UNI

comes that makes It necessary to ac-
knowledge the salutatlon Of the person
toward whom one has a particular

the feeling Of disdain from cropping to

Mrs. Bobbsy's conservatism takes
