If a man puts on his overcoat in the par

Do not help him on with it, let him struggle

as bad form as for young woman to act
as valet to her caller.

take care Of ii himself.
Don't relieve him of his cane. his gloves.

Remember that every man likes to take
care of his own coat and hat.

There are little points of personal eti-
quette which should be remembered, for

Do not ask a man personal questions
about himself: intimate inquiries are out of

Don't laugh too much; the giggling girl

that they do not mean all that they say.
Don't take too much for granted. The
English language is remarkably well
equipped with words, and when man
loves you he will generally manage to tell
you so, even though he be deaf mute. He
may have been only trying to be polite.
Don't Toll when receiving a caller. Sit up
straight.
Don't introduce unpleasant topics. Try
to adapt yourself to your caller; and, IL
you have a hobby, don't air II at this time.
Don't tread on your callers prejudices,
even though you know him to be a vege-
tartan a pure food enthusiast. Let II go.
Don't argue.
Don't rock.
Don't of course, chew gum.
Don't gossip.
If you serve your caller with refresh
ments during the evening. don't ask him TO
hold things in his hand. Provide him with
a little tea table. an elbow table, IL is
called.
Don't give your caller wine. 1t may be
against his principles, yet he cannot well
decline.
When your caller gets up to go. rise also;
and while he is putting on his coat you
may express the wish that you may see
him again. Shake hands with him in the
parlor, If you care to do so, and bid him
good night in the parlor.
Above all, do not go to the front door and
