Rules of English Court Life.

There are numerous rules OF court
life in England which would be irk-
some to the average American sojourn-
ing there, yet they must be conformed
to. In addressing the royal parsonage
"Sir" and "Your Majesty" must be
used. When the opportunity for con-
versatlon with royalty arises, royalty
takes the initiative. When passing
member of the royal family at a social
function II courtesy and bow is eX-
pected. When an Englishman enter
tains the sovereign the house becomes
for the time being his property. His
meals are served separately and the
host and hostess can only eat with him
at his invitation. a piece of paper on
which Il letter is written to the sover
eign must never be folded, but must
be inclosed In an envelope large
enough to hold 1t without folding. At
a ball subject, however high his
rank, may not ask princess for a
dance. III princess wishes to dance
with any man present the proposition
must come from her. She signifies her
wish to the equerry in attendance. who
at once conducts the favored one to
her. The obligation to comply with
the request is imperative. and a man
must even leave lady whose escort
he is in order to obey the wish OF the
princess.-Chicago Gc.Srd-Herald.

get dreadfully reckless. Only yester-
day we picked up what was left of one
of them in our front yard, and there

Cant we cross now?"
"Dear, no! All the yellow flags are
up and all the red balls are up, and all
the signal men are signaling. They
are coming from both ways. If we
have real good luck we may see a col
