which a bow or salutation of recog-

manner ard low bow are worse.
The correct salutation is between
the two extremes.
Although according to circum-
stances a bow may BIO cordial,
friendly. formal. slight. deferential
or familiar, it must be made. A
person who has been introduced is
entitled to recognition. A bow
should be prompt as soon as the
eyes meet, whether in a room or

taneous, but 1t is the privilege of
woman to take the initiative by
being the first to bow. AS has
been said, an introduction entities
everyone to a bow. Only for very
grave reasons would anyone ever
give direct cut" when the
claim an Introduction imposes has
been absolutely forfeited.
In q case where there has been
inexcusable conduct the better way
is to bow coldly, or turn away and
look downward when passing. No
one wishes to hurt the feelings Of
another, even for a serious offence.
1t is wise to throw the mantle of
charity over the offender. A for
NAL, distant bow may be given to
an unwelcome acquaintance, and
this should be sufficient to prevent
an aggressive, pushing person
from presuming.
