A woman, if she is a hostess, should
always rise to accept an introduction,
whether it is a lady or a gentleman.
If not hostess the lady does not rise
when gentleman is presented, nor
when she is one of a group to which a
woman is introduced, unless it is a
person of distinction or one who is
older than herself, or unless she is
seated next to the hostess, who nat
urally rises. In all other cases wo-
man rises to receive an introduction to
another woman. (2) At large din
ner party, hostess should introduce
those persons who are to go to dinner
together, and should make as many
other introductions as she possibly
can without disturbing the guests, but
she should never make introductions
at the table.

A gentleman should always offer
woman his left arm. His right arm
must be free, according to tradition,
to protect her (2) It is incorrect for
a man to stop woman. If she wishes,
she may stop him. The man may turn
and walk with her, first receiving her
permission to do so.

MEDICAL WHISKY

ELEVEN million prescriptions for whisky, filled by
