Yount. _ Those who are wont to follow the operations of that nebulous organism known as Good Society with a certain admixture of rev- urgftoe aud awe, and with a der pressing sense of their, own inabil ity to imitate what they admire, are now in position to heed the exhortation of the ancient bal lad and “wipe their weeping oyes. 1 he vade mecum to this state of blessedness is a little book known as “The Correct Thing,” which describes with a minute at tention to detail that overlooks nothing in just what orbits mem bers of Good Society live and move and have their being. For instance: “It is not the correct thing for a gentleman to wear his over shoes in the drawing room.” Now there you are—balm of Gilead at the very first dive into the contents of this guide to d«- cornm. Those who V have been hesitating in the past between leaving their overshoes at the front door, kicking-them off in the vestibule and thrusting their muddied embodiment of common sense upon the vision of v a hostess, possibly shocked and 'horrified, have all their doubts dispelled. And, inferentially, the question settles in the affirmative the aw ful question whether it is the cor- rtet thing to wear overshoes at all. This, however is merely a sam ple, for the proprieties of every occasion almost are suitably ex plained. The anxious reader is informed that it is “not the cor rect thing to drink tea out of a saucer, or to pour it into the sau cer to cool; to tuck the feet up on the rounds of one’s chair or to place them on the stand of the table; to eat with one’s knife.” The practice of wrapping a nap kin about the neck is strongly condemed and the use of tooth picks at the table denounced as a gauchere likely to brand the perpitrator as a trespasser, or at best but a causal wanderer, in the hallowed domain of Good Society. The gentler sex receives admon ition designed exclusively for it self. “It is not the correct thing,” says the author, “for .a lady to refuse the invitation of one gentleman and then accept that of another for the same dance. Duels have been fought for smaller matters than this.” And rightly, too. Even the pro saic modern soul waxes indignant at the mere mention of such an affront and longs for t.he good old days, when such a stain could be washed out only in blood. Let the gentle demoiselles beware lest they arouse the fiery passions, even though there-is no chance of a resulting order for pistols and coffee for two. The sterner sex also has its share of reproof. The practice of wearing evening dress to after noon receptions is not the correct, while for a young man, on that most solemn of all occasions through which he will conscious ly pass—his marriage, to forget to obtain the license or provide himself with a wedding ring is a faux pas beyond the power of earthly forgiveness. Nor is it the correct thiqg, ^either, “for a wo man who believes herself a man’s equal to promise to obey him as if she were a child or an inferior.” Limited space forbids the |fur- tlier enumeration of what is and. what is not “The Correct Thing in Good Society,” as it is set forth and explained in this com pendium of information. Alto gether 361 pages are required in the recital—361 pages chocked full of wisdom and delicacy from the first to the last. The reader who ponders these pages careful ly and ever afterwards strays from the orbit will have himself or a vigerous kick to blame. It cannot be because he does not know.—Savannah News. Lincoln’s Shrewd Advice. Abraham Lincolu, the lawyer, was one day confronted by a com plainant agaiust the trespassing chickens of an indifferent neigh bor. Because of the friendly rela tions existing between the two families the client did not. favor a law suit; killing the chiokens might cause a feud and a higher fence would be an insult. “A hopeless case,” said Lin coln; “you are taking the reme dies from me. However, come back to-morrow.” The next day Lincoln learned from his client that he had two children and his offending neigh bor three. “Go home,” said the lawyer after grave refleotiou, “boil a dozen eggs hard and color them after the mauner of Easter eggs. After each visit from your neigh bor’s chickens place one oL the egg3 in the yard. Your children will find them, and when they question you, credit the eggs to the ofi’ending fowls.” A few weeks later the client en tered Lincoln’s office and said in explanation: “When my little ones learned the source of those colored eggs they were wild with glee and with them tantalized their little neigh bors. “Then the neighbor’s children tried to keep the chiokens at home, and my little ones tempted them away. After each visit there was a colored egg raid some times two. “Those children worried them selves sick and made their parents frantic. This morning a load of palings and barbed wire arrived at my neighbor’s.” “I thought the plan would work,” said Lincoln. •-9 4 Friday Is Sermon Day. Probably few of the good peo ple who listen with rapt atten tion to the sermon which is preached to them each Sunday, says The Denver Post, know that for nearly 300 years Friday has been the time-honored day for the pastor to go into his study, write the sermon which is to furnish “food for thought” to the congre gation on uhe following Sunday. In speaking of this custom, the Rev. David Utter, pastor of Unity Church says: “When Christianity was first promulgated all preaching was done extemporaneously. Such a thing as preparing a sermon was unknown. Many gifted men ex pressed their views on various sub jects then added a few words of good advice to their listeners. This practice is still continued in the Roman Catholic Church of the present day, and I think that a very limited number of the priests ever write a sermon. Not ail minisiers, however, adhere to this rule, by any means. When Henry Ward Beeecher was asked on what day he prepared his ser mon he replied: ‘On Sunday morning, of course?’ “ ‘Well, Mr. Beecher, don’t you think that is a rather dilatory habit for you to get into?’ asked another. “ ‘Oh, no, not at all,’ replied Mr. Beecher, in his quick way; ‘you see, I look at a sermon like some do on a pancake. They can be served hot or cold, and I like mine hot, that’s all.’ ’ The annual report of the Dead Letter Office reveals the fact that more than 9,000,000 pieces of mail matter were received by it last yeaa, containing cash to the amannt of $48,498 and commercial papers to the value of $1,399,927. A Startling surprise, A very few could believe in looking at A. T. Hoadley, a.heal thy, robust blacksmith of Til- den, Ind., that for ten years he suffered such tortures from Rheu matism as few could endure and live.
