d a stranger at such a function and actually received no reply.
Later, the hostess brought up the strange person and introduced her. Then
she explained that, not having been properly introduced, she felt she
could not respond. The society woman quietly remarked, "Oh, was that the
trouble? I thought you were deaf and dumb."

The late H. C. Bunner and the more recently deceased T. B. Aldrich
cherished an aversion for each other. They were not acquainted, but
disliked each other on general principles, both being engaged in literary
work. They happened to meet at an entertainment where Bunner was in the
house of his friends and Aldrich an outsider. Bunner's native kindliness
and courtesy made it impossible for him to see anyone uncomfortable in a
friend's house. He introduced himself, carried Aldrich to his host's
"den," and over a cigar and a glass of "Scotch" began a friendship that
was ended only by death.

School Girls' Etiquette.--Etiquette is not so formal among school girls,
though its form remains the same. Propinquity in classes, and the being

matters of punctilio have to be learned by observation, or by the grace of
some friendly classmate who happens to be conversant with them.

invitation, There are well-defined rules which regulate the use of cards,
familiarity with which is necessary to all who have social aspirations.
And the questions most frequently asked by the novice relate to whom and
when they should be sent or left.

A General Rule.--Though calling has, in a degree, "gone out of fashion,"
