After spending; two years In Germany studying ftiuaic, languages and the customs of the country. Miss Mackenzie Is rery much Interested and speaks in an entertaining manner of her experiences over there. "The Germans are exceedingly formal in thair social etiquette. Even among the children this courtesy exists. I overheard a conversation be tween two little schoolboys in Johannes park one day . They met on their way to school and shook hands and the conversation, in German, of course, ran thus: " 'Good morning, my dear Henry, how are you?' " 'Good morning, my dear William. Thank you, I am well and you?' " "Thank you, the same. " I am pleased yon are well, and how is your lady mother?' " 'Alas, she is III.' v " 'Ah, that grieves me.' "And thus tbey went on asking after each member of the family the honored papa, the gracious sister, the amiable grandmother express ing set terms of joy and sorrow as the occasion demanded. "Imagine a 12-year-old American boy being so solicitous! "But if a young man Invites a young lady to an entertainment or theater, she must not only pay for herself, but also for her chaperone, and often for him. I accepted such an invitation from a German, much to my chagrin, he thinking he was being quite kind to me. Of course, I was thus able to see the typical German life, but it was rather hard on my pocket book and my American pride." Boxes for Concert .
