ETIQUETTE OF THE CALLING CARD

IT Us suppose that q married
woman is making a formal call

hostess is at home
It is then proper for her to give her
card to the servant. and as she passes
in she may leave two OF her husbands
cards on the hall table. one for the
hostess ard one for the husband.
This custom is generally understood
as married men do not make visits. but
leave their social duties to their wives.
Il there are other ladies in the fam
ily it IS polite to inquire for each. IN a
formal visit. and to send up ones card,
says The Delfneator
a woman does not leave her hus-
tand-s cards for young girls. but. if the
hostess has a married daughter and a
son-Ir-Iaw living with her. cards should
be left according to the prescribed rule.

coNTRovERsY WITH COUNTY. Bloemfontein oflcials Called to Ac-
 count for UsinE Property.

The County of Montgomery and the unu' nicipafity of Bloemfontein, a recently in- corporated suburb are somewhat at outs and some correspondence Is taking place between the officials of the two corpora tions.
 Bloemfontein. it will be recalled, is the incorporated town on the Three Mile branch, town with full set of officers but no white inhabitants at present. The officials who were elected last Saturday are all residents of Montgomery.
 The Montgomery Street Railway Com pany proposes to- build line from its Highland Park branch to Bloemfontein, where Western capital Is building lake. a pavilion and making other improve ments. NAorkmen have been busy at the task of making a park for a month.
 These improvements gave rise to the difference between the government of the County of Montgomery and the govern uent of the town of Bloemfontein. The County authorities allege that the work men at the new park took piling and lumber that belonged to the County. It is charged by them that some of the workmen took material from the bridge over the Mount Meigs road at the Three Mile branch and used 1t to build the dam at the lake.
 Wherefore official notice will be sent to the authorities of the town of Bloemfon- tcin asking that this be stopped.
 The officials of Bloemfontein 1t Is un derstood claim that they have nothing to do with the work now going on there. The improvements they say are being made by investors and if the County bridges are being torn down and used to build dams it is being done by the workmcn em- ployed by the investors.
