How a Woman Should Receive an In
PRODUCTION.

How a Woman Should Receive an In
PRODUCTION.
A woman's manner of receiving an
introduction to a man is what makes
an impression on him. and the most
desirable effect is gained by the wO.
mans cordial and gracious greeting.
When strange man is brought to a
woman it is the woman who speaks
first, and precisely the form of her
words depends upon previous condi-
lions. Ii she has never heard of him
before and he comes to her literally a
stranger she may simply say How do
YOU do?" She does not rise from her
seat, neither does she offer her hand.
unless the man extends his. He should
not do this, but sometimes he does,
and to ignore it is the height of rude
ness.
If the woman has heard of the man
before he is presented and he knows of
her through mutual friends, her greet
ing is more personal. She may say
'This is a pleasure" or "Iow do you
do? | have heard of you so much that
l am particularly glad to meet you"
This idea of extreme cordially may be
carried SO far as for a woman to say,
'AIr. So-and-sO does not need to be pre-
scented, for l know him so well by
reputation that | feel as though he
were an old friend"
The mans answer is naturally of tho
same kind, and the conversation be-
gins with interest, according as the
two persons know something of each
other or are total strangers.
At leaving the woman again may
express her feeling Up measure. If
she has known nothing Of the man
previously and has not found him es
pecially interesting it is not necessary
that she should say anything more
than "Good afternoon or Good even
ing" 1t is courteous to say, II am
glad to have met YOU" but that de-
ponds upon how she feels. If. on the
contrary, she has found him really
agreeable and enjoyed her talk she
may say so frankly in this way: 1T
has been nice to meet you" or 81 have
enjoyed so much meeting you. l hope
l may run across you again" The
man must take his cue from the wo-
man.
The matter of shaking hands should
rest entirely with the woman, and it
is no longer perfunctory. For her to
offer her hand suggests a certain
friendlinesS, and if she wishes to i'm
ply such interest it is perfectly proper
for her to do so. In this way, while
she does not shake hands on meeting
the man, she may, if she has liked
him, give hers when they separate.
A woman never rises to meet man,
nor does she go to him. He must go
to her.

To the Editor: Referring to the
article Mutual Levy Assessments. !"
contained in your issue OF June Is,
permit me to say that your state
ments are altogether misleading
The fact is these companies levied
assessments equal to so per cent and
80 per cent, respectively of the pre-
miums charged by these companies,
which premiums were calculated
upon one half of the old line rate,
so that the actual levy in the form
er case is 25 percent, and in the lat
ter case 80 percent of the old line
rate.
The Hortonville and De Forest
Mutuals were organized in the year
1896. The assessment you refer to
is the first one that has ever been
made by the Hortonville company
and the second one made by the De
Forest company. Distributing the
actual cost of insurance (including
premiums and assessments over
this period of twelve years it does
not amount to over So percent of
the old line rate of the Hortonvllle
company. The actual cost in in the
De Forest company in the twelve
years of existence, including two
assessments is less than So percent
of the board rate.
Further more, I ask you to go
with me just little into a detailed
history Of the actual cost of insur
ance in these mutuals.

In spite of assessments Mr.. A. has

companies to pay nearly forty aG

any money out. 1t seems to me
that the showing made by these
two mutuals is creditable one in
deed. Aside from this these COM
panies are reliable and trustworthy
in the fullest sense of the word. No
one need fear that these mutualS
will ever settle their losses at 20 or
80 per cent or get out by paying
nothing at all as has been the case
with some stock companies. 1t
seems to me that merchants and
manufacturers in Wisconsin have
never had occasion to regret having

No Law Against righteousness.

Certainly, Eustace, you may wear a
striped suit with wedge-shaped peck
cts, and low shoes with buckles on
them, and a hat that turns up in
front and down in the back, and carry
a swagger stick with ribbon tied to
it, if you want to. The city comptrol-
Ter has looked up the question and
finds there is no law against it. The
public is therefore quite helpless in
the matter.-KansaS City Star.

She had heard Danilo's wild speech Of

that he was off TO Maxim's. Hence
the ambassadors wife. Gith a feeble
yearning to atone in some way for the
false position into which the widow
had been thrust for her sake, had re-

Natalie had not cOnfided her plan to

PET CROW SAVES LIFE.
Leads Farmer to Place Where Son Is
in Great Danger.

NEW YORK. January IA pet crow
belonging to Carl Enfedt, the small son
of Herman Enfeldt, of Troy Hills. Morris
county, \. j., was the means of saving
the little fellows life yesterday.
Enfeldt was working about his barn
when Kaiser. the crow, came flying from
a piece of woods about quarter of a
mile away caWing vociferously. The bird
circled about the farmers head several
times and started back to the woods. This
performance was repeated and when Mrs.
Enfeldt asked her husband where Carl
was he suspected something was wrong.
Mr.. and Mrs. Enfeidt followed Kaiser
to the woods and found little Carl. his
foot caught in vine and hanging hea I'd
downward. In falling over bank his
head had struck stone and he was rem
dered unconscious. Had he remained in
that position much longer he would have
died.
Enfedt has often threatened to shoot
Kaiser. because the bird is a robber but
now he values it highly.
