' . I dancing la to take the form of a cotillion ,
chaIrs should be provided for the mothers or
chaperons : eli other furniture being removed ,
and breakable objects carefully stored away
; for thai one night.
: Young girls ought to dress In light colors
, , of gauzo.lko materIals or fluffy stuffs , com-
. . blnml with delicate silks. But all costumes
should be selected 10 enhance the youthful
appearance , while their elders , wear deml-
toilettes becoming the occasIon. ,
The hostess can receive her gudstS alone ,
or I she has daughters or young friends ' ,
, lhoy can assIst her. lint the eldest son , or
some young man friend Ihould for that one
: . evenIng be the master of ceremonies , makIng -
Ing himself generally useful In arranglll
allaire.
. The hostess stands near the drawing room
door , her daughter or young friends a few
' feet away , yet near enough to receive the
guests before the dancing commences.
. A young lady enters the room fut , her
chaperone following.
, If there arc ladles wIthout n chaperon
. coming with tllr maid , then the eldest
shOUld take precedence. But generally the
. chaperone Is i at hand A young married
. lady , accompanied by her husband , naturallY '
- takes precedence. Dut to enter leanIng on
the arm of her husband Is In very bad taste.
h The dancing should be begun by the eldest
daughter of the house , the hostess selecting
: for her partner her nearest kinsman or
I friend.
ir- A basket of flowers sent the same . dayof
. the dance to the hostess of the occasion Is
& , - a graceful attention. And a gentleman can
In good taste send e a box of lees ; flowers 10
any young lady whom ho knows will bo his
partner In the cotillion.
Young ladles after n dance request their
. partners to leave them with their chaperones
after the german.
t't. ' Young women would do well 10 remember
that now dances appear nearly every season ,
and 10 be a success as a dancer It Is nec- ,
n . . essar 10 acquire the last new ban room
cssar
slop.
' Either the hostess or one of her family :
4 , should bo hl personselected when an In- :
person'selecte
trodu ton Is desIred at a dancing parry.
An good walzers are eagerly sought after , '
t bul care should be taken that no one gentleman -
. man should have the favor extended 10 him
too often.
A young lady refusing one gentleman for
, a dance and accepting another , Is I breach
. : of eclal etiquette. I a refusal Is once
, given , then die should not dance In thai set ,
whatever It may be.
: . 'he clever h stess takes care , that all ,
. e guests cever partners. The "wall flower" Is
gesls
unknown In the house of I good social leader.
. The host leads , with the most dlstnglshd
. lady presenl. the way 10 the supper room ,
the hoess being the last person 10 enler.

The tasfe Of arranging the Dyron Reed

'rhe wisdom of the plan Of IssuIng finding

One tIring , however , was most remarkable

d'Arville is one of the few singers Jn Amor-
ice whose voIces are of so remaricably high
a register as to demand all orchestras that
play for them to be at high pitch ( French ) .
This , to be sure , is only one-half tone hIgher
than what is known as international pitch ,
and is used everywhere , but ( hint small uhf-
feroimco Is very appreclablo , In the east it is
not so difficult to secure Instruments at high
pitchi , but iii the west It is mimoro trying , for it
Is seldom used. Time high C which Miss
d'Arville takes in the final of ( lie second act
of "Madeleine" is really a D flat , a reinarkabhe
mioto that is seldonm written miowailays , It
