When You Are introduced.

When she is being presented to an
older woman, lady should rise, but
she keeps her seat when younger wo-
man or man is presented to her. A
hostess, however, always rises and Of
fers her hand to all her guests. Upon
receiving au introduction, it is not nee.
essary to say anything at all, such as
how do you do, pleased to meet you,
etc. A woman may smile and bow her
acknowledgment, unless she wishes to
show special friendliness, when she ex-
tends her hand. Men usually shake
hands with each other Ii is a mistake
to embarrass lady by leading her
about room aud presenting her thus
to roomful of people. If there be a
small group of people, the hostess then
may say, after greeting her, Mrs.
Black, let me present Miss Brown,
Miss Elsie Brown, Capt. White and
DR., Green" Men should always be
taken to lady to be introduced. In
her own home hostess may introduce
as she pleases, everyone to everyone
else, but it is always well to remember,
at other places, such as large balls, re-
ceptions or indlscriminate gatherings
of any kind, that we must consult the
the wishes of others before giving in
PRODUCTIONS As the introducer is al
ways responsible for the person pre-
sented, much care should be taken in
ibis respect, and the possibility of
thrusting upon another an unwelcome
acquaintance avoided. A lady's per-
mission must always be asked before
presenting to her a man who wishes to
make her acquaintance. OF course,
there are exceptions to all rules and at
small, informal dances among young
people who know each other well, girls
lnds boys freely introduce their friends
sithout asking permission. New Idea

April was chosen for the Easter num-
ber of THE DESIGNER because costumes
appropriate for Easter are more suita-
BILE for April than for March. And the
designs of the new spring dresses are
very attractive. The grace and prac-
ticsbility of The DESIGNER models are
winning many new friends among we'll
dressed women because of the ease of
making and correctness in the fit.
Several articles, illustrated in detail,
are devoted to the April bride. They
discuss some new styles of wedding
gown, and besides giving the patterns
for them describe the latest accessories
that go with them.
New spring hats are illustrated SO
cleauly that thev may be copied, aud
the regular advance article by Laura
Selplr, this time on the coming dain-
ties of dress, has its accustomed place
in the center of The Designer.
Mary Kilsyth, who is well-known
interior decorator, contributes an illus
trated article entitled "Some Unusual
Interiors. This, like all such material
in The Designer, will be found to be
of practical application in the home.
The fiction in the April number is
of more than ordinary interest. The
continued story begun in the March

ity for home entertainment. And be-
sides these there are many more aticles
of use aud interest among the regular

Euphemism Of Death.

"Decease" is now a regular form of
word for death. But it began as a
gentle euphemism, "decessus" (depar-
ture) seeming much less harsh to the
Romans than "mors" All languages
abound in euphemisms of the kind,
which go back to superstitious reluc-
tance to mention death plainly, that
gradually passed into q kindly desire
to soften the idea Passed away, "
departed, "gone," "no more" "ex-
pire" (breathe out), 'no more" "de-
mise" and even "the late" are express
sions of this nature. Most striking of
all is the Roman euphemism for she
for "he is dead "vixit, he has lived.
