What to Do and What Not to Do in Social Life.

/ duction which she possibly could not
avoid and did not care for. Men do not
need to be introduced 10 other men in
society; It Is understood that they are at
liberty 10 speak to each other and make
each others acquaintance without any
such formaIty. A mans title should al
ways be used IN an INSTRUMENTATION ex-
ample. General Smith" "Dr. Brown"
the Rev. DR.. Smith" etc.
A man should never bring a friend TO
the house OF his hostess TO be introduced
unless he has had permission In advance
from the latter to do so. He should then
introduce the newcomer to the hostess
and any Of the family that may be pres
ent on his arrival
Shaking hands Is or should be express
sive Of sincerity and good will. II is a
custom which has come down to US from
barbaric and remote times when men Of
fered their hands to each other to show
that they were without weapons, thus
insurlng their friendliness or an absence
Of any hostility. This custom has come
down to US through many ages, and now
has, or should have, the very essence Of
good will. good fellowship and sincerity
POooAOAS
a great variety of meanings by your hand
shake, the manner determining everything.
1t can be cordial, honest, indifferent,
inert, affected or exaggerated each ex-
pressing the character Of the man. When
taking the hand II is correct and proper
to give It a gentle pressure, but do not
raise the hand or shake 1t and then drop
It suddenly; rather relinluish 1t quietly.
Do not retain 1t while inquiring about an
others health or business. One other val
liable point is TO remember not to extend
the hand until very near the person you
are greeting, for nothing Is more absurd
than to see a man walking some distance
with palm outstretched. Try to make your
hand shake cordial, and not render your
self liable to the description we all re-
member so well Of Uriah Heep In David
Copperield," whose clammy handshake
still remains In my memory az one OF that
hypocrite's most salient characteristics.
A man must always wait for a woman
to offer her hand to him, never offer bis
first Men shake hands on being intro
duced, but out Of doors they merely raise
their hats on being introduced When
leaving an entertainment the departing
guest shakes hands with his hostess. and
he NAV do so with friends who are near,
but he must not go about shaking hands
generally.
The fashion of raising the arm In an
exaggerated fashion when shaking hands
is not followed at present, and II Is not
good form; rather extend the hand on q
fine with the chest and take the fingers
OF the other and not grasp the palm.
Later / shall give some other sugges-
lions and advice about minor rules of
conduct that will aid every man anxious ,
TO be correct In his manners; little
things, mayhap. but the sort that divides
the well-bred and correctly Informed man
from bis unwise brothers.

Back to the Farm.

For the many who are unemployed nt
the present time because Of the financial
stringency and other causes or, at least.
for n certain percentage. there is a means
OF escape from the grinding poverty OF
the cities and the condition OF virtual
starvation which confronts many OF them.
Go back TO the farms. FOur-hfths Of
the emigrants from Europe OF the past
decade have come from agricultural dis
tricts: this Is particularly true Of the
Austrinns and the Italians. For the past
several months thousands Of these men
have returned home to take up again the
work they left TO come to this country,
for there they are able to earn q living.
ct least Their example Is a good one
for untold thousands Of our own native
unemployed In the big cities-why don't
they return to the farms which they left
TO come TO the cities? The higher wages
and sllurements Of the city have drawn
these men from the small towns, but
their departure has diminished the guam
tity OF agricultural labor and necessarily
Increased the price Of farm products.
With so many men unemployed in the
cities there should be n readjustment Of
the Eastern States, and in the Middle
West also, within a short car ride from
the cities. there are hundreds Of good
farms which are not cultivated at all,
and hundreds more which are fertile and
Gun be cultivated to a big profit, but
which are developed only In part on &C.
count Of the lack OF labor. These farms
offer splendid opportunity for a man
TO make himself independent and COM
Portable. By this time many men have
doubtless realized the fallacy Of meas
urfng wages solely by the amount of
money received. Twenty to thirty dol
lars Is paid to the single man on a farm
with his board. He figured that 81 or
$3.50 a day in the city would be much
better pay. which It Is not. On the farm
he earns his money and has his board
all the year round. In the city there
is always the uncertainty Of loss Of work
through dull times, change Of work and
other like reasons, 80 that though his
outlay for food and shelter continues
right along, bis earnings do not, and
therein comes the difference between his
position in the city and on the farm.
This difference will be In favor Of the
Lndn VINO - cuiushunB the bou, pdrlicu-
larry at this time, when there Is so great
q demand for men to work on the farms
or when q little capital wisely Invested
In some at present deserted or only par
tally worked farm will In a few years
win for him more money and better liv-
ing than. years spent In the city will do
for him II Is advice that is well worth
considering by the man in the city who
came from the country and today Is not
where be hoped he would b In the wage
earning army. '-'''''''

Most men. either because OF n lack of
opportunity TO leaT1. the rare necessity
Of knowing how. OF ,ecause Of devotion to
business and the lnfrrcuent Invasion OF
the so-called social sphere where such
knowledge is indispensable and as i'm
portant a part OF a man equipment as
his clothes or his shoes. never take the
trouble to put themselves right In regard
to the countless little things which they
find needed In society. For such-nnd
they are truly innumerable-the following
suggestions will prove to be well worth
reading, considering and adopting. Their
incorporation In his conduct will differ
entiate him from the man who doesn't do
the right thing at the right time because
he is ignorant Of what the right thing
and the right time are.
One OF the FIRST and most important
things to remember-this, Of course is as
applicable to business as to social life-is
TO never economic In your politeness and
courtesy. For instance, always reply at
once to Invitations with a note and never
send a card with regrets or accepts"
written on It. This latter is very bad
form. The necessity for a reply is obyi-
Gus, for a host or hostess plans TO invite
a certain number Of guests to her dinner
or her card tables. and plans accordingly.
II you delay in replying or do not reply
at all she is ignorant Of Just how many
persons she may depend on, and this
means that the entire affair may be
marred by an incomplete number Of din
ner guests or players at the card tables,
in the latter instance preventing some
who have attended from securing a full
quota Of players at their particular table
Many people are ignorant Of just what
to do In the matter OF introductions,
whether to present the man 10 the woman
or vice versa. This Is matter that Is
subject to many variations and modi1ca-
lions. Individual tact and good Judg-
ment must often determine the necessity
and propriety Of introducing or not intro
ducng. Introductions are not to be made
Unfortunately. There should be some
knowledge that an Introduction will be
mutually agreeable to the persons intro
duced II any doubt exists the latter
should be consulted This applies to an
introduction which Is premeditated. IL
Is customary for a man to ask some friend
in common to present him to the woman
he desires to meet at any social gathering,
and her wishes should be ascertained by
the friend In advance. lest she be com
PEELED to meet some man for whom she
has a more or less tustifable aversion or
disinclination to meet. The woman al
ways has the option Of declining an in
PRODUCTION, II she has any good reasons
for doing SO; but II is rarely that such is
the case. The man is always introduced
to the woman as follows: Miss Smith,
may l present Mr.. JonesT'
An established rule is that after an
Introduction a man must walt for the
woman he has met to recognize him when
they meet again. He must not claim her
Acquaintance merely because Of the intro

Taking Care of Your Hair

not beautiful hair, ! do not mean. but a
head of hair that adds to his appearance
and aids his health in the matter of mini
mixing colds and other ills to which the
bald-headed man is often heir. An amaz-
ing amount Of harm is done to the scalp
and TO the hair through ignorance Of
brushing and the proper care. Poor scalp
circulation is the real cause of most
trouble with the hair. and anything that
will give the hair more nutrition through
better circulation Is to be advocated.

IN last Mondays Robesonian to

issued for the marriage of Miss
Bertha III White and Mr.. H. E.
Thompson came near causing
pretty howdy-do, for, look you,
Mr.. Thompson lives now, land has
uved for some time,at home with
his lawfully welded wife. So
when Mrs. Thompson saw the
oresaid mention in The Robe

how come. 1t was a simple
enough matter to explain, for Mr..
thompson had simply done for
his friend Mr.. S. P. Smith the
kind Office of securing license for
his marriage to Miss M'White-
tor MIR. Smiths marriage, not
Mr.. Thom psOn's.
Wherefore this correction is
made so that none may think that
! Mr.. Thompson has taken unit !,
himself another wife. 1t was
just a little slip made by The

Vas made quite cheerfully and
naturally. Mr.. Bethune looked

looked Mr.. Smiths name and
saw that the lady in the case vas

cheerfuily put that down in his
little book.
