equally good where intimate friends

One OF the points upon which some
OF our correspondents are not very
clear is with regard TO rising frcm
their seats on being introduced. This
question does not trouble men, as
they are usually found standing, or
they are brought up TO person 10 be

ventures upon sitting down for few
moments at an at-home or before din

feet with guilty alacrity when any ap'

With ladies II Is otherwise. They
do not rise from their seats either at
an at-home or before dinner Is an
nounced or after dinner. or when call
ing people are introduced TO them CT
when they themselves are introduced.
Half an exception occurs. IL Is true.
at crowded at-homes. when TO rise
and talk to the lady introduced Is al
most a necessity There is no vacant
seat for her TO take. and. therefore. II
both do not stand conversation Is at a
deadlock, as the few first convention
al remarks made by either are lost in
the general buzz going on around: also
1t is awkward and ungraceful for n
lady to bend over one seated for the
purpose OF saying few platitudes.

Among the exceptions OF not bow

the introductions made between young
