where there are many persons scattered groups, only the men near her rise and wait for her to sit down.
 It is good form for a woman to rise and ahake hands when another woman is Introduced 10 her. particu- larly so when the other is older. Men always rise and shake hands when they are introduced to one another, but a woman never rises when she is introduced to man. And she need not shake hands with him unless she wishes, unless indeed he should extend ,his hand, when it would be very rude not to accept it.. The only other time she is Ieally ex- pected to shake hands with a man is when it so happens that they both have long heard about each other through mutual friends and they are glad to have met. Otherwise when a man is presented to q woman she merely bows her head slightly and says: How do you do," whereds the man bows and says nothing.
 There is really no set rule as to whfen a person should shake hands or how one person should greet an other, for one never knows how diff ferent persons will affect each other. But when you do shake hands all ways look into the persons eyes.
 When a little girl Is introduced to older persons she should curtsy, but unless she is very small for her age this custom is not observed after the age of 8 or 9. After that an act which is charming gesture in a child becomes an affected manner ism.
 When presenting any one to the President it is customary to say, "Mr. President. l have the honor to present Mir. Burke of San Francis CO., But to the cardinal one says, Your Eminence, may I present MT. Burke"
 When you are presenting your daughter to an elder or a distn- guished man, the form is, "Mr. Burke, my daughter, Julia" or This is my laughter, Julia" In case she is married, My daughter, Mrs. Reed"
 To another woman you say, This is my daughter, Julia. Mrs. Wallace" But to a young man a mother all ways introduces her daughter only as My daughter, Mir. Burke"
 only one phrase is used In &C., knowleging an introduction, and that is, How do you do." To be pleased" or "delighted' to meet a person hap pens only in rare cases, where one has been looking forward to the meeting and is glad that 1t has at last been achieved.

"One Trick q Day"
THE HANpCuFF THICK

Before showing this trick. provide yourself with two very small em- broidery rings, not more than three inches in diameter. Place one of these up your sleeve, about half way between your elbow and wrist.
 Not let anyone handcuff your wrists or tie them securely with string, and place the other embroid- cry ring over your hands. You now declare that you can pass that ring over the handcuff and up on your arm. The method is this: Turn your back to the audience, place the ring that has been put on your hands in your pocket, and slide the hidden ring down your sleeve into sight.
 Turning again to the spectators they will be dumfounded to find that you have accomplished the seeming ly impossible.

 Introducing persons to each other is something every one has to do oc- oasionally, and one might just as well do 1t properly. Moreover, this is a very good illustration of the way in which social usage is based on courtesy.
 In making casual introductions it is no longer good form to use the word present" It is too formal for ordinary social relations, which are far more easy and natural than they used to be. Of course, if you are in troducing people to truly distin- guished man or woman, you pre- sent" them.
 AS general rule, you merely say, Mrs. Reed, Mrs. Wallace" or Mrs. Reed, do you know Mrs. Wallace?" or yet, Mrs. Reed. you know Mrs Wallace, don't your" Still another form of introduction is Mrs. Reed, have you met Mrs. Wallace?"
 It is usually taken for granted that the persons name you speak first Is the one to whom you are presenting the other. However, If you wish to make this more emphatic, pronounce the IlTSt name With Sll8nL TlSlnS infection, as If you are asking a question, then say the second as if making a flat statement.
 If you are introducing a man and a woman-unless the man is dis tinguished person-you merely say, Mrs. Reed, MT. Wallace" If the man is a parsonage you may add the May present" Uniless 1t he the President, King or cardinal, the man Is always presented to the woman-never present a woman to man.

 This same idea of courtesy dic- tates that men shall rise when a woman enters the room. or Is intro duced, and remain standing until she Is seated. But this does not mean that social usage demands absurdity. If woman comes into a large room

 An Annoying Woman
 His noncommittal tone annoyed her. She had intended to lead him tactfully toward the subject that was In her mind. Instead she decided now to strike at once. She made herself comfortable in the one easy chair and motoned to him to take an up- right chair directly in front of her. When he had done this she asked him an abrupt question.
 Kenneth, what is the matter with you?"
 He replied promptly. q am not aware that there is anything the matter with me except that my arm and shoulders are still a bit stiff and sore, and that, perhaps, I am not quite as strong as I was before my accident"

Gen. George W. GoethaIs A GRAVY-SPECIAL


 The wonderful thing about gravy is the fact that if you know the first one or two basic facts about gravy making you are bound to make good gravy whether you make a quart. pint or a whole gallon of it, and the funny thing about it is that with about the same base you can make a pint or a gallon, as you like.
 l believe that most men wifi en- joy both making and eating the kind of gravy dish which follows the meal of roast beef.
 Take your cold roast beef aud trim away all of the fat. bone and gris- tie Toss the trimmings into a hot pan and render out a half cup of fine beef fat. When you have about what you think you need, pour off the fat and save it for the next step in gravy making.
 Get a sharp knife, a real sharp one, and cut (do not chop or grind) the cold roast into pieces about an inch long, half inch wide and from an eighth to quarter of an inch thick. Prepare at least two or three cupfuls of this finely sliced meat Then fry these pieces of beef in butter, plenty of butter, and fry unti; the bits of meat are beginning to brown. Lift the meat out and put 1t on the stove to keep warm. Pour the butter fat into the beef fat hav- ing the whole in a large. deep pan. Take two or three spoonfuls of flour and stir we'll into the fat. Stir until the mixture is absolutely smooth some more and be sure that none of the stirring takes place over the fire. At this point you decide that there isn't going to be enough gravy, so you put in some more flour and stir. When you are finally satisfied that there will be enough so that you are certain there is too much-that will be about half enough. stir rapidly-the pan is now over the flame and the flour is thickening so fast that you are sure 1t is total failure. It only seems that way. Just pour in some milk and little cream if you want to- stir. You will now perceive that all is well and the gravy has thinned out to safe thinness. At this point you begin to think of flavoring Try a little salt and stir and taste. Soon
 
 recognize the perfection. Your thought will then turn to pepper. Operate the same way-taste as you pepper-and when you think you have enough pepper the chances are you have. After this point is passed seasoning becomes a matter of sheer adventure. Try a little Worcester shire sauce, if you like it-kitchen bouquet for coloring and a slight, 1 indefnable flavor
 When you are sure that the flavor has been blended in inspired fash ] ion, put the bits of meat into the | gravy and stir while bringing to a l great heat.
 When the consistency of the gravy seems perfect and there is nothing more to be done. serve with toasted i bread and enjoy a really wonderful l dish.
