Ceremony of InfrOI ton.

There can be no question as to the
safeguard thrown around society gem
orally by the ceremony of introduc
ton. The man or woman of the world
who has become possessed of the prop
er savior faire may speak to whom he
or she pleases, because it is never his
or her pleasure to speak to the wrong
person, says the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat
But the introduction is en- essential,
and the introducer should be held re-
sponsible. Nothing so evidences the
proper knowledge Of the correct as
ones way Of introducing-th younger
ITO the older, the maid to the matron,
the man to the lady. These are correct
as well as that the distinguished guest
should always have others presented
to him or her, not he presented to
them.
Names should always be most dis
tinctly pronounced, as much embar-
,rassment results and sometimes great
mistakes. 1t is pleasant to mention a
mutual acquaintance also in making
introductions.

cular force of an expert in physical
culture.
Ezra Miggs looked dazed at first; but,
relieved from the influence of the ma

unmitigated fervor, and he clasped
Miss Hooper to his heart with no words
but those of forgiveness and love.

deep and absorbing, if somewhat ig-

ventiOns and looked upon her betrothed
as something better than a Franklin
and Il little wiser than a Lavoisier.
And so it happened that when Mr..
Miggs burst enthusiastically into her
presence eXclaiming. MY dear Mabe.,

gladly and responded:
"Oh, Ezra, l so hoped you would
You see. Mabel" he went on, "the

"And the machine" went on Mr.
Miggs, approaching her alteration, but
unable during the stress of his present
intellectual excitement to respond to it.

wall and placed it, with the cooling
adjustment still going, in his inside
breast pocket.
The effect, though gradual, began at
once, and after a few moments Mr..
Miggs could look calmly on while his
betrothed flirted desperately with an
other and handsomer man. This was
well, and, able now to rejoice fully in
the success of his great invention, Ezra
Miggs gave himself up to the gayety
of the occasion and chatted entertain
ingly.
After the tea was over and the last
guest had shaken hands and gone out
into the pleasant, balmy dusk Mr..
Miggs, by virtue Of his presumptive
connection with the family, stayed be-
hind to dinner.
He was enthusiastic over the vir-
tues of his mitigator, and Miss Mabel
was even more fattering than usual,
for she knew that she had neglected
Ezra during the afternoon and felt
trifle guilty.
But for a wonder Mr.. Miggs paid
little attention to her kindly speeches
and seemed more interested in convers-
ing with her father and mother.
Miss Mabel was a little annoyed at
this; but, still remembering Philip
Boynton, she redoubled her efforts to
