ETIQUETTE

LETTERS OF INTRODUCTION Il am going to New York for quite a long visit, but do not know a soul there l have friends, however, who have many acquaintances there Would it be proper for me to ask my friends to give me letters of intro duction to their friends in New York?'
 (Answer.) I take the liberty to quote as follows from Edith B. Ord ways excellent book on Etiquette of Today" published by George Sully & Co.,, New York. As follows:
 "A letter of introduction should never be requested If it is offered it is a sign of great regard. Between business acquaintances the person, in whose power it is to offer it, with the circumstances and interests whfcA make it desirable. but never to do more than this.
 The advisability of giving letters of introduction depends upon the cir cumstances. Between business ac- quaintances and for business pur- poses, it is a common form of estab- fishing connection among various in- terests, and, if done with discrim- ination, is to be approved. It should, however, even in business be done spartngly, as 1t is a matter of per sonal friendship, usually, and as no one has a right to make numerous or exacting demands upon ones friends
 Socially 1t Is matter Of great delicacy, and should have even more restrictions put upon it than does the introduction in company. For the written introduction is used because distance prevents the personal one, and that usually throws the recipient of such letter into the position of host to the traveller or newcomer or at least of benefactor to some degree. It places upon him an obligation not involved in the verbal introduction. and the presumption is that he is to 'do some favor, or show some special attention.
 Letters of introduction may be ex- planatory or brief. Rrevity is pref erable, but circumstances must de- termine.
 "A visiting card is often used with the words Introducing MT. Allan Golding to MT. Norris or similar words written across the top. The card should be enclosed in a small envelope and left unsealed.
 "A brief form of letter simply says: Permit me to introduce to your fa- vorable notice MT. Silas Emerson

every one told me the same but kept fighting to keep from having the opera ton. 1had read so many times of Lydia s. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it helped my sister so began taking it. I have never felt better than have since then and keep house and am able to do all my work. The Vegetable Com pound is certainly one grand medicine. '' Mrs. J. R. MATTHEWS, 3311 Sycamore Street, Cairo, III.
 Of course there aremany serious cases that only a surgical operation will re- ieve. We freely acknowledge this, but the above letter, and many others like it, amply prove that many operations are recommended when medicine in many eases is all that is needed.
 If you want special advice write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. (confi- dentiaD Lynn, Mass.
