A Few Points of Etiquette. There are a few points of table etiquette not directly connected with the giving aud F ceivirg of dinuers and teas; but which are of the first importance, as they concern ndi- \idual bebavior. We would be inclined to think every obe acquainted with them, aud allusion to them a matter of supererogation on our part, if it were not that we see them 0 frequently violated. Those of our readers who are, or have always been, familiar wits them, will perl.aps pardon our speaking of U emt tor the sake of those who are no’. We do not expect lo see the ¢ wacheries in the best soc'ety; but there are many people p>r- fectly well fitte. for the best society but for ignorance concerning these things, which, though trifles in themselves, are of such in- finite importance on the whole.
