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
