| Now that the social season abroad
has begun and American tourists
from this side are daily being present.
ed to royalty a few words for their
guidance at court may not be amiss.
says writer in the Boston Post.
Every American abroad should know
how to behave in the presence Of
King. Queen. Jack, ace or two.spot;
hence the following rules:
Do not carry your hat in your hand.
Leave 1t on the royal hatrack.
II Is highly improper to say, Hello,
King" when you are presented. Re.
member, you are not talking over
telephone.
If there is a Queen on the throne 1t
Is proper to kiss her hand--if she will
lend 1t to you long enough.
You might ask the King II he finds
ruling hard work, and then remark
that It's a poor rule that won't work
both ways II the King has not heard
this one, 1t will put him in rare good
humor.
1t Is In poor taste to make the
weather topic Of conversation at
court.
Tell the King where you come from
-he will be pleased to know that you
hall from Chicago, and made your
money in hogs, or that you are 4
Pittsburger and own a steel works. or
are a convict.financier from New York
out on parole.
II offered chair sit down. Other.
wise remain standing. Never, under
any circumstances, sit on the edge Of
the throne platform. no matter how
tired you are.
II the Queen Is not present ask the
King II his wife Is well. II the poten.
tate Is a Sultan. ask him II his mul.
tiple wife Is well. 1t will save time.
An American society woman pre-.
sented at foreign court should not
wear her Jewels. They would only
make the King and Queen jealous.

to say, you might compliment the
Queen on the glove.like At Of her pur.
pie throne cloak. (No matter II It fits
like bath robe.)
II you notice the King beginning to
yawn. look at your watch and tell him
you really must 90 because you have
q train to catch In q few minutes.
Never wear out your welcome.
In departing invite the King to visit
you and tell him to bring his Queen
with him. Say II am glad to have
met you." and express the hope that
you may both become better acquaint.
ed.
III there Is one thing I hate" said
the determined young business
woman as she sat down to lunch in
q down town restaurant. Its the
hinter. II someone wants to borrow
an umbrella or some money from you
let her say 90 right out. not come
shambling into your once. take away
all your valuable time beating around
the bush and dropping fool hints on
the way. don't take hint I'm not
dense. but want to discourage the
habit. ] think It shows cowardice.
Take the man who wants to come
to see you. Why can't he say. May
cally No. he hasn't the courage Of
his convictions. but he has to hem and
haw. look sheepish and hint for dear
life. ] won't have q man like that In
my house. Same thing with girls.
Don't you hate the kind that suggests
to q man that taxi is 30 comfortable
and she does loathe the street cars, or
the one who asks him II he's seen the
lovely display at certain candy store
or the cute little boxes they send
with Thorley's flowers. II would be
safer for her II she kept OF the sub.
ject. for the chief fun In doing things
lies In planning them. and nothing 10
SO maddening as to have others make
the suggestions. The hinter only
makes herself unpopular. and the
sooner she knows It the better. Keep
quiet or say right out what you want.
"Now. don't hint that you'd like an
oyster cocktail, because you won't get
one II you do Sing out like little
woman-have one? Good!"

While we hear and read much OF the
evil effects of American worry upon
American women in gripping their
energies and shortening their lives.
there is very little written or spoken
OF the element OF restlessness that sets
worry agoing, says well.known writ.
