The same high authority, the die
tionary, holds as regards crime:
An act that subjects the doer to
legal punishment; a grave offense
against social order; aostractly, ma

And the Russian court holds kiss

has not been handed down without
considerable opposition on the part

men is small. yet this number Is giving
the officials food for much thought.
A prominent insurance man who has
made a careful study of the situation
and has delved deep into the figures
bearing on the subject shows that
while the mortality among uninsured
women between the ages Of 20 and 45
years is less than among men, the
mortality OF insured women of this
period is greater than among men OF
the same ages. IN other words. there
are more deaths among a given num-
Der OF insured women than among the
same number of insured men.
This startling popularity is setting
the actuaries to hazarding guesses.

SOME QUESTIONS OF ETIQUETTE.

bestow little of his company upon her
occasionally.
If a gentleman takes a young lady to a
place of amusement should she thank
him when she leaves him at her residence?
1t would certainly be discourteous for a
lady to accept an invitation from gentle
man and then not have the civility to
thank him. There is no definite stated
time nor place for expressing her graft
tude, but 1T would seem natural when
saying good evening to him to thank him
for his kindness.
What kind of slippers, white, light blue
or patent leather, is 1t proper to wear with
a light blue henrietta evening dress, also
with white dress?
Patent leather slippers are correct to
wear with any style of evening dress.
Many women think the black makes their
feetlook smaller, but you can have slip
pers to match the color of each gown if
you so desire. But 1 would not advise it
for a blue henrietta cloth. The material
is not rich enough to warrant slippers to
match, so that you had better invest in
the patent feathers.
At weddings should the groom pay for
all the carriages. or how much of the
wedding does he really pay for? Also
please say whether he and his grooms-
man can wear white vests. 1t is an even
ing wedding and tho ushers are wearing
white vests ANXIOUS.
1t is supposed that the groom pays the
church expenses and for the carriages for
himself and ushers. He also sends flowers
to the bridesmaids, and, of course, gives
the bride her bouquet. The reception ex-
penSes devolve upon the family of the
bride. but the groom pays for the car
riage in which he and the bride depart.
There is no reason why the groom and the
best man should not wear white waist
coats if they so desire. There is no fixed
rule as to the dark waistcoats
If young gentleman ask young lady
to go TO tie opera does he have to pro-
vide a carriage to take her there, or can
he arrange to meet her at the opera? If
he provides the tickets shouldn't she pro-
vide her own means of transportation?
There is no reason why a gentleman
should feel it incumbent upon him to pro-
vide a carriage for the young lady, but he
should certainly offer to escort her to the
opera and home again. She can then offer
to take the carriage herself if she wishes.
but it is very awkward TO meet any one
at the opera house, and certainly it would
be rather hard for her to have any one
meet her to take her home, Women nova
days go about much more in public con-
veyances than was formerly the case. for
their long coats cover their entire evening
gown.

hurry into an insurance which will
profit her heirs. whereas a man in the
same physical condition but with
blunter perceptions, would feel no adj
vance warnings and would neglect the
caution that is palpable to his sister.
Or, as 1t is put by this expert:
The finer constitution of the nerves
of women undoubtedly enables them TO
feel earlier and before they are per-
ceptible outwardly those ailments and
changes which may be going on in their
systems, and however indistinct such
a feeling may be in them, yet they are
more impelled by it than men to take
precautions against the threatening
evil.
"Allusion is often made to a faculty
Of presaging peculiar to single persons,
and attributed in higher degree to
women than to men. II such a faculty
| of presaging really exists it may result
from natural causes, but 1t forms at
the same time a sort of influence
| against which life insurance companies
must be on their guard. at all events,
| these offices cannot be sufficiently eau
tious in insuring women, and are per-
fectly entitled to demand a higher
premium from women than from men,
Then there are others who hold to
the view that women when they come
to be questioned by the medical men
OF the companies are apt to be less
honest in telling Of their physical con-
| dition than are men. 1t is charged
that they are prone to forget" IN
health or to argue themselves into the
belief that they have had no i'll health,
and so they do not consider it worth
while mentioning to examiners.

When a man takes his sister to a dance
Should she sit with him during the whole
evening? Can he dance with other young
ladies'? Is 1t proper If he goes alone to
dance with the same young lady more
than once? Is 1t proper IL sitting with
one young lady to get up and dance with
another? II. A. T.
There is no necessity for young man
dancing with his sister the entire evening
1t would be a stupid performance. If she
is not a belle he should look after her
pleasure oecasionally--that is, If her host
ess does not perform her duties properly
and he should introduce his friends to her,
but 1t will help neither for them to spend
tho whole evening together. 1t is a mis-
take to dance SO often with one partner
as to make her conspicuous by so doing.
Resides. it is rather presuming and con-
ceitad to take it for granted that she
wishes to dance with you and no one else
IL Is not very kind to leave girl alone
1T dance, and If you are sitting beside
one young lady and wish to dance with
another it would be better for you to see
that she has some one to talk to before
leaving her. No lady wishes to have q
gentleman stay with her when he wishes
to go elsewhere. A good disposition and
kind heart help very much with the rules
of etiquette in the ballroom, and while
there is no necessity why young gem
tleman should sacrifice his whole evening
to some unpopular young woman, he can
