_ 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.

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. But a wonderful chauge
followed his taking Electric Bit
ters. “Two bottles wholly cured
me,” he writes, “and I have not
felt a twinge in over a year.”
They regulate the Kidneys, puri
fy the blood and cure Rheuma
tism, Neuralgia, Nervousness, im
