NOTE ETIQUETTE.

Nothing More indicative of Breeding
and Education Than the Signature.
1t Is useless to know what to write
in note II one does not understand
the manner of doing It.
For example, no other small detail
Ia more indicative Of breeding and ed
ucation than the signature. Under no
circumstances should the prefix Mr.,
Mrs. or Miss be used unless 1t 60 in
parentheses. Even then 1t is only to
indicate whether 1t Is man or wo-
man and, IL the latter, married or un-
married, which makes 1t permissible.
In writing to total strangers or to
those who have not this information 1t
may appear. In writing to social In
ferior the prefix is always possible, but
even then 1t must be parenthesized.
II a married woman is writing to
social equal who does not know the
status Of her correspondent the writer
should sign her own name In full, az
Mary Jane Smith," and underneath
write her formal name, "Mrs. John
James Smith," putting parentheses
about the lower signature. To social
equal upon whom for some reason she
has not called, but would wish to,
married woman signs her own name
and incloses her visiting card.
1t Is desirable that all letter and note
paper shall be stamped either with
monogram and address or both. Ac-
cordiDg to the newest way Of placing
1t, IL only the monogram is used 1t is
in the upper left hand corner A note
should begin always with my dear"
not Dear" without the my" If the
writing must continue beyond the nrst
page 1t is the fourth that should next
be used. II more space is needed, then
the paper should be turned so the right
edge becomes the top and the second
page becomes the third.
To end a note the formal way is
Cordially" unless the person to whom
one is writing is an old acquaintance,
and then Sincerely" is employed.
For all invitations Cordially" is to
be preferred. For letters to old friends
the words Faithfully" and "As al.
ways" are most commonly used, "Sin-
cerely also being good form. "Affec-
tionately' and Lovingly" are for old
friends, or relatives. Envelopes should
be addressed with the utmost preci-
sion. 1t is permissible to put the
word "To" or "For" before the name
but 1t is a continental rather than an
American custom. 1t is always better
formsto write the full name, as "Miss
Mary Jane Smith or "Mrs. John
James Brown" rather than to substi
tute initials.
If note or letter is to be delivered
in the city in which it is mailed
Town" is now used in preference tc
the city's name. This is not a fad
that commended itself to the postof
fee, but 1t is sanctioned by society.
The postage stamp must always b'
exactly in the upper right hand cor
ner, for to put 1t at an angle or on any
other spot is considered ignorant ol
vulgar.

Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch.

Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch.
Among good plays, "Mrs. Wiggs of
the Cabbage Patch", which comes to
the Lyric for matinee ard night Tuesday
Jan. 26, seems to have the most SUPER
abundant vitality. From the first, dram
atization of Mrs. Rice's two popular
stories, "Mrs. Wiggs" and "Lovey Mary"
met with degree of popular favor
more enthusiastic, if anything, than
that awarded those "best selling" novels
of low life in mean streets. In Mrs.
Wigs herself, Mrs. Hazy, Lovey Mary,
and Mr.. Stubbins, the play presents
four types, each one of which remains
firmly fixed in the mostpleasantrecollec-
tions of the playgoer. The character Of
Mrs. Wigs, the optimist and philosopher
of the Cabbage Patch, takes rank with
many of the prominent comedy crea-
tons heretofore presented upon the
American stage. A very close second
for popularity is the character of Miss
Hazy, the forlorn and lugubrious spin
ster, in which the dramatist has evolved
something new and likeable in the psy-
chology of the unmarried. Miss Hazy
marries MIR. Stubbins: "the prominent
citizen of Bagdad Junction" has been
provided by matrimonial agency, and
in the various scenes between Miss Hazy
and her matrim onial bargain, the humor
is irresistible. Lovey Mary, in her tran
sition from the pages Of the book to the
stage has been made very lovable char
acter who at once wins the sympathy OF
the audience. The juvenile element in
the stories OF "Mrs. Wigs" and "Lovey
Mary" is decidedly happy in its humor-
GUS appeal, and plays an equally de-
lightful part in the play. Asia, Euro
pena and Australia and Billy Wigs;
Chris Hazy with his wooden leg; Pete
and the other sons and daughters of the
Patch make the scenes bright and merry
with the play and sunshine OF childhood.
And "Cuby" the "fit-horse" whose
"lights was riz" is not forgotten in this
background of juvenile iollity and pic
nicking,

MESSINA AGAIN STRICKEN.
Swept by Fire That Destroys Rem

Swept by Fire That Destroys Hem-
nants Of Harbor Promenade.
Messina, Jan. 90. - The fresh out
burst of fire in Messina was got under
control today by soldiers and sailors,
who worked heroically to keep them
from destroying the last remnants of
the town.
Smoldering embers in the wreckage
were famed into flames by the strong
wind that has prevailed here for the
past two or three days, and the fire
secured a good foothold before efforts
were made to extinguish 1t.
The flames made fast progress and
soon swept through the remains Of the
beautiful promenade along the harbor
front. The small force of firemen was
augmented by detachments of soldiers
and sailors from the warships, and
pumps and lines of hose were brought
ashore from the vessels.

A Pertinent Question.
As Discussed ty Rev. T. Theodore
Lake, In Waymart.

"Should He Marry?" was the subject
of lecture given by Rev. Thomas Theo-
dore Lake, in the Waymart Baptist
church, to an audience which filled the
building, on Monday evening of last
week. The Rev. Mr.. Lake is q young
man, and surprised his audience by his
gift OF oratory, of which he made splen-
did use in the course of his lecture. His
advice to young women was not to marry
with the idea that they could run sue
cessfully Reformation Agency, and told
many amusing anecdotes in illustration
of the folly Of such an attempt.
He gave them four "Dont's" to re.
member:
Don't marry man with an heredi.
tary disease" at is awful" said the
speaker, ito see lover whose heart 10
breaking because he cannot marry his
sweetheart. But far worse is it to see q
little child suffering and isolated from
society all of its days, through no fault
of its own. Far better that the lover be
brought down to premature grave than
that one of these little ones, yet unborn,
should perish. This don't applies
equally to both sexes"
Don't marry man who is an habit
ual liar" Because confidence is an es-
sential feature of happy home.
Don't marry man addicted to the
drink habit" The risk of living dogs
life is too great.
Don't marry man with an uncon-
trolable temper, if you want sweet
disposition and happiness yourself" A
wife is mans recording angel, and
naturally assimilates his traits, and by
and by she becomes Indifferent, cold and
morose, with man of brute nature.
The speaker then considered the idea
most young people have that Glove is
blind" and does not see any short
comings. "It is blind" he said, "be-
cause we make it so. Most young ladies
would make you believe that the young
man who is making love to her is gen.
erous and true beyond fault. Yet last
year n 600 divorces were granted to mis-
mated pairs; three-fourths of whom
must have run blindly into the marriage
state, and woke up to ssalize the very
| sad fact that they had not prepared
themselves for the worse, which was
coming.
The speaker closed with a fight OF
oratory on the real position of woman
hood. The lecture lasted nearly an hour,
and good sum was realized.
