The Irishman and the Prussian are in the same category, with 305 days or thirty days more than the Englishman and Scotchman. “Patty Pan Knowledge.” Thanks to the many admirable publi- cations which tell everybody just what to do under all circumstances, people havea much larger fund of informa- tion than they had twenty years ago; but unfortunately, there are subjects on which a “little knowledge” is sure to be the proverbial “dangerous thing.” One of them is etiquet be termed half-baked manners are the result of those countless paragraphs the receipt for whose writing seems that for an historian, “ignorance is la- boriously acquired and religiously maintained.” Or the “correct thing” is misquoted or misunderstood. For instance, every now and then this floats through the press: “The napkin must be half folded and thrown down beside the plate.” This is all very well so far as it goes; the trouble is it doesn’t go very far. Only part of the rule is given. The whole goes on to say “un- less napkin rings are used, and you ex- pect to take another meal in the same house.” Of course no one will use your napkin, so, if you have no more need of it, it may be thrown aside. But in many American households the same table linen serves the same people more than once, Assuredly, you should not reflect upon your hostess’ daintiness by assumings that this is not possible; like a certain woman, in whose own home the napkin ring was reigning who tossed the napkin in an untidy heap upon the table three timesa day of a three week’s visit; this in face of the fact that it was invariably placed in a ring beside her plate when she sat down to eat. Sle had seen or grasped the first part only of the dictum, and no doubt imagined that she was impressing her entertainers with her elegant infor- mation.. What may Sometime a custom becomes obso- lete. It was once proper for a man to precede a woman in ascending stairs. Later advices state that he should allow her presedence everywhere and at all times. It is oat of fashion, too, for one’s escort to cling tenaciously to the outside of the walk, that rule having been expounded in other days and other environment than this. date as to bea woeful blunder when a man gives both arms to a girl with whom he is walking. As with customs so it is with words and phrases. Now- adays we never pronounce “valet” after the French fashion, ‘valay,” but as though it were written “vallet.” Only country cousins use the word “boudoir” any longer. ‘I'he mistress of that little snuggery calls it her ‘morning room,” and she stares and smiles when you speak of her “coupe,” gently cor- recting the mistake by ordering her “brougham” at three, pronouncing it as though it were spelled “broome.” She avoids, of the word “bon bon;” “sweetie” and “sweetmeats” are the correct appella- tions for candy-—old words revived. Fashionable men are no longer “ill” or “well” but «dn form” or “out of form.” “Form,” like “smart,” is a tremendous- ly popular word. One is no longer criticized as being bad style or not do- ing anything well. On the contrary, “form” takes the place of all that. “I don’t like her form, youknow.” And the same young man to whom “form” is a watchword, and London clothes a necessity, speaks of his “top coat” and “top hat,” his “rig” and his “kit,” wears his face clean shaven, and would blush with shame did! you carelessly speak of his “stick” asa cane. In the face of all this, surely he is to be pardoned who sometimes fails “to change when he al- teration finds.” It is so out of far as possible, any use Sucning Yet. “When I was fishing in the West Indies some years ago,” said the man with the cigarette, ‘‘a whirlwind came along and carried off my vest that was hanging on a limb just over my head.
