Hints On Etiquette.
Invitations to a wedding should
bo sent out two weeks in advance.
The guests are received by the
bride’s mother at a home wedding.
The tactful and successful hos¬
tess always succeeds in putting her
guests at ease.
At a dinner party the place on
the right of the hostess is consid¬
ered the place ul honor.
Children’s parties are given iu
the afternoon, sometimes extending
into the early hours of the evening.
A guest should not m?ke engage¬
ments without fust consulting her
hostess to llnd if they will be con¬
venient to her.
The engagement ring may have
the initials of both engraved within
the band, from H. P. to M. II. be¬
ing the usual form.
A guest should endeavor to make
herself agreeable, readily falling
into any of the plans her hostess
may make for her enjoyment.
A note or letter should be left
unsealed when sending it by a
friend. A sealed note would imply
duubt of the friends’set so of honor.
When the wedding invitations
are to be issued the groom gives to
the bride’s parents a list of those
to whom he wishes invitations sent.
Dishes are served at the left of
each person at the table, The
plates, vegetable dishes, etc., are
removed and the crumbs brushed
with a folded napkin into a plate.
It is usual for a gentleman to
off-r his arm to the lady designat¬
ed for him to take in to dinner.
Either arm may be offered, but
most men prefer the lady to take
the right arm.
At a dinner the host leads the
way with the guest of honor, who
will be placed at his right; the
other guests follow, the hostess
coming last with the guest who
wilt sit at her right.
The promiscuous giving or ex¬
changing of photographs between
young girls and men is not in good
taste aud should not be encouraged
'I’lie only gentleman entitled to
such a gilt is the girl’s fiance.
After lhe death of a parent
mourning is worn ior two years;
a brother or sister it is worn one
year. It is not customary to at
tend social functions, especially
during the first period of mourning
llats should always be removed
at the theater, and also at large
concerts; a courtesy due those
sitting behind you, as the hat or
bonnet, unless very small, will ob¬
struct the view of the stage.
Postal cards are used in corres¬
pondence of unimportant business.
It is not good form to use them in
social correspondence aud affairs
of a personal or private nature
should never be written upon them.
A girl should not formally enter
society until she is eighteen ; be
f ire that her tim*-is supposed to
be taken up with school, music,
etc. The formal debut is usflally
made at a reception, ball or tea,
given by h«r mother.
Generally speaking, the terms
> l “No ma’am, > ’ 4 *yes
I 4 y n s ma’am,
sir, » ) and “No sir,“are considered
obsolete. It is better form to sny 5
“yes’’ and “No,” with the name
of the person addressed, as “yes,
Mr. Blank, i 1 « ’yes, father,” “no,
mother. » )
When giving a dinner < r lunch
eou the hostess should see that
everything is in readiuess before
tbe guests an iV e; this will prevent
ttU y nervousness on her part, aud a :
nervous hostess usually prevents
her guests groin being at easy and
thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Houses before 1
were never so .
scarce in Covington as now . We I ]
believe we could find good tenants
for at least fifty comfortable
houses within thirty days. There
are plenty of people here who have
room enough on their lots for one
or more cottages aud if they would
build they wouhl liml it a profita¬
ble investment.
