When you bring a strange lady into
room, you should introduce her to
the hostess first, then to all the other
ladies before introducing her to the
gentlemen.
Questions Answered by Alicia Hoyt.
miss Hoyt will answer in this col
umn all questions on matters of ETH
quette addressed to her in care of this
paper. If a personal answer is de-
sired enclose a three-cent stamp.)
HARRIET: Yes; the yonng man
who was walking with you should
have tied your boot-lace when it came
undone, if, it was necessary to have it
done at once. In such a case the girl
should ignore the accident if possible,
until she can slip into a convenient
sop and excuse herself for a mo-
ment It makes a couple unpleasantly
conspicuous if the gentleman has to
stoop or kneel on the street to adjust
the lady's boot-lace. However, if it
must be attended to, there is nothing
else for him to do; but a girl should
always dress herself so carefully that
small disarrangements cannot occur.
The girl who subjects her escort to
such an obligation often, will find her
self avoided by all young men
BERT: When you call upon a
young lady, you need not wait to be
asked to remove your overcoat. If
you are going to remain in the house
more than a few minutes, you should
take it off without invitation, Just as
you do your hat.

which Will guarantee permanently the
German empires condition of existence
on the continent and overseas"
The message for which the chancellor
thanked the senders had expressed as
surance that after the recent great sue
cesses of the German armies and the
answers of entente statesmen there would
be a peace on a sound basis, and that the
Erzberger resolution for peace without
necessary extensions of territories and
indemnities was impossible. Confidence
that the new chancellor would bring
about victorious peace and not one of
remuneration was asserted.
