THB COURIER. '4 A Q g NOTES AND QUERIES 5 oooooooooooooo Is it proper to prolong an informal ovening rail after ten o'clock and doe it mako any difference as to the, time limit whero you feel quite sure the parents are not as cordial to jou as they might boT A. F. M. Ten o'clock is late enough if you came at eight. Two hours of conver sation, even when broken by laughter and glances, is enough to set the young lady casting about in her mind for something to say to you next. It is policy for you, young man, if you have reason to think the parents do not approve of you, to conform exactly to their wishes. Evasions and overlong lingering are apt to arouse their im patience. In nine cases out of ten the parents are right and their opposition to an aspirant to their daughter's hand, inevitably fatal to his hopes. Where there are no dissenting circumstances like those mentioned by A. F. M. the length of the call depends on the ex tent of the young man's oquaintance with the young lady, his conversational powers and the price of coal and gas. What does Rye mean in the song "Comin Thro tho Rye." C.A.Q. The Rye is a small river in Scotland and the song refers to a ford iu it much used by the hamlets on each side of the river. I have always understood it was not correct for a young lady to ask her gentlemen friends to call upon her, but I notice it is getting to be almost customary in Lincoln. How about this! J. L. A. "A gentleman should never ask to call upon a lady, but wait for her to signify that his presence in her house will be agreeable. A card from her giving notice of a day at home or containing an invitation to some entertainment, of course gives him the entree to her house.' The foregoing is taken from a book called "Manners." published in New York and having the endorsement of Mrs. Abram S. Hewitt, Mrs. Chauncey M. Depew, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Mrs. Burton N. Harrison and other ladies whose names are Bynonyims for what is comme il faut. In New York all rules must be applied with dis cretion and delicacy. A gentleman should not be asked to call until he has shown a desire for the invitation. If custom allowed the gentleman to ask to call a lady might not be able to direct her own hospitality. For she could not very easily refuse a request to be allow ed to ca'l. When a gentleman is out bicycle riding with a lady which side of the road should he take? X. Y. Z. That all depends on the road. When in town on the street the gentleman should take the side next the street car track, so that if any one's rubber tire is ripped it will be his. In the country he should generally keep the right of the road so that if they meet a team he can ride on ahead without passing in front of the lady he is riding with. But at all times he should give her the best side of the road, regardless of other conventions. kote, Comin'thro' the Rye was written by Robert Burns. He altered It from an old song of the same name the authorship of which ts unknown. CglaM Allen returned from Salt Lake City where she spent the summer with Mrs. McCuaig.
