ETIQUETTE OF CALLS.
Some of the Things That Are and Are
Not In Good Taste.


Not In Good Taste.
Every one IL aware that Il married
woman when paying formal call on
another married couple leaves two of
her husbands cards In the hall when
coming In or going out.
But every one does not know that
when the hostess Is II widow only one
card should be left.
punctiious people always call at u
house from whence they have received
an invitation, and this whether 1t has
been declined or accepted. But with
the one exception Of returning first
call. which should be done as reason
ably soon as possible. the question as
to what time should elapse between
social visits IL one that must be left
to the good taste and good sense of
the caller.
Many people with II large and in
crcaslng circle keep n book In which
they note the date Of their calls, and in
this connection II should be stated that
II Is Il compliment to call on the right
day=that Is, when the hostess Is
known TO be ut home to her friends.
II used to be considered the right
thing for formal visit only to last
about a quarter of an hour. 1t not IN
frequently happens that an idle WON
an will arrive early and stay late If
she happens to be amuscl and If She
has nowhere else to go. Such behavior
IL parti ulnrly lnconsideratc when the
drawing room Of her hostess happens
to be Il small one and when other Wis
itors are many.
In the country long, calls are, of
course, permissible, butInot In Il town.
Again, 1t IL not good ktnstc to make
appointments to meet M friend at an
other friends house, ami yet this Is
frequently done, TO the mtural annoy
ance of the hostess, whosfeclS that her
reception room is beingtuscd much as
might be n station waiting room New

A WOMAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY

France does not want her, nor does
Germany. When she finds her way
here she Is expelled. and when she
treats the fatherland to friendly Wis
it she meets with similar fate. This
IS a queer predicament for a woman
who has served as cantiniere In a reg
iment of zouaves. It is true that the
Judge in the appeal case just heard
in Paris dryly remarked that she
had certain number Of condemna-
tions-fifty-6ve"-to her record, but,
as the heroine of this adventure quiet
ly replied that she did not know why
she had been expelled, adding, proud
ly. that her father had been gen
darme, it is to be presumed that the
offenses for which she had been pun
ished we're not very serious. Infringe
ment of the decree of expulsion fram-
ed against her seemed, indeed, to
have been the worst cantiniere, who
can now enjoy little breathing time
in France pending, perhaps, the franz
ing of a new decree which will drive
her again over the border.-Paris Cor.
