Wednesday qulotncus lolgns ever the social
lllo of the metropolis , nnd wo may expect
this condition of affairs to continue until
Kastor brings the birds of brilliant plumngo
buck , again Into thn full glare of the world.
Books of etiquette are well enough to keep
s informed ns to the formal conventionali
ties of social Ufa the customs of society
which nro donstnntly changing and with
which only an export or n devotee can keep
in touch. There is underlying rauro
etiquette u nntlvo Impulse that is superior to
nil training and that wo Justly regard as the
no plus ultra of delicate breeding. Wo have
all delighted in that old school book tale of
thu king wbo drank from a saucer to sot nt
casu1 a visitor who had never boon taught the
"proper" way to oat SOUD. Now comes a
contributor to the Now York Times with a
inoUcrn story of like conduct.
"It was , " said the rolntor , "sovornl years
ago whnn wo llrst moved hero. At that ttino
persistent bonnet wearing was not In vogue
in the smaller towns , although In Now York
even tbon the custom was well established.
Soon after my arrival I was invltod to a
church entertainment , nnd was chagrined ,
on reaching the dressing room , to Und over )
woman except myself in a drossy bonnet
which she did not lay asido.
"Perceiving my own blunder Instantly , It
was with n Itcon sense of embarrassment
thnt I , perforce , put olt my knitted 'fascina
tor' and faced the prospect of spending the
evening among strangers singled out by my
unfortunate Ignorance. Undoubtedly my
fnco displayed the mortification I felt for "I
noticed n lady looking nt mo several times in
? n friendly , halt-sympathetic way. She was
"evidently a well known nnd popular woman
Ip the company , for everybody greeted her
with great cordiality , and you raav " fancy
ray sweet relief when this woman , whosu
heart was is louder ai her face was lovolv ,
fussed about , fanned herself conspicuously ,
nnd finally declared the rooms were going to
bo unbearable , and she believed she would
leave her bonnet upstairs. 'It will bo so
much moro comfortable. ' She must havd
sighed to out oft the dainty llttlo nrticln
which completed her handsoma toilet , nud I
noticed bor hair , dressed for n bonnet ;
needed considerable arranging to bo present-
Hblo , withoutono ' , but I am suro.hor ' heavenly
crown cot na'ospocially brilliant' Jewel that
night for bar most womanly succor of a sister -
tor in distress. "
"It was a merciful dispensation , " says nn
authority ou social otblcs , "which abolished
the custom , some whllo ago In .voguo. ofleav-
ing n card for each member of n family , and ,
if the culler wora a married woman , of adding
as many of her husband's , 'dealing both
packs , " ns n lively young matron pat it onco.
Now It suflicos to leave your own card for
the lady upon whom you call , If she Is out or
engaged , and y&ur husband's for her nnd her
husband.
"If there are daughters In the bouso who
nro in society , leuvo ono card of your own
und ono of your husband's for thorn , collec-
/'tlvely.
I/ "If.you cannot bo prasont at an nftornoon
ten to which you are bidden send yo jr oard
un the afternoon of tha * nt homo. ' It is
equivalent to your presence nnd cancels the
fioctal debt. Of course. If you attend , you
Jeuvo your oard In the hall or with the ser
vant wbo announces you. If the man of
your family have bcon Invited and cannot
bo present leave their cards also. If a man
Is asked and cannot go ho should send bis
card by messenger or post If ho has no
relative to take care of bis visiting obliga
tions.
"Cards of condolence nro dollcato assur
ances of sympathy and a graceful attention.
If possible , they should be loft In person , but
may bo sent.
: A card with 'congratulation' written upon
It may bo sent to the parents of a no\\ly born
Infant , un engaged friend , or to thoiQ newly
wed. If the parents only of the brfdo are
your friends , send your oard to them with

"If you cannot attend a church wedding ,

Invited , dressed accordingly , and Judging

nish light , brown paper for score cards ,

Cuilct llroatch Hits Itesumod.
A rather ridiculous story has boon going
tbo rounds concerning an incident In the
routine life of Mr. J. W. Broatch , the Ne
braska appointee from this district at West
Point. A local paper In publishing the item
managed as usual to got Its statements con-
plotolv entangled and thus to do Mr. Broatch
a great Injustice. The grain of truth unon
which the mass of fiction was built Is this ;
The mllltry cede requires cadets who outer
West Point to submit to an almost endless
persecution by the higher classmen until the
oattallon leaves camp. Ono of the upper
classmen attempted to protract his sport
after tbo allotted time but found that bis
Insulting orders were resented by Cadet
Broatch. Ho thereupon challenged Broutch
to light , n'prlvlloRO which the latter hostbrred
to accord him. The encounter took place ;
both combatants adjourned for a sojourn In
the hospital , although by reason of disadvantages -
vantages m weight and slzo tbo contest re
sulted slightly to the advantage of the
nirgroisor. Tno upper classman was confined
for a wook. Cadet Broatch nftor a nlno
days' siege bos again boon enabled to rosutno
his military duties. _
