PHILIP MORRIS ORIGINAL LONDON CIGARETTES hold first place in the esteem of the discriminating. How to Behave in Society EVERY now and then a stand-up supper is served atadance, ‘This is the abomination of desola- tion spoken of by the prophet Daniel. Should a lady ask you at such an entertainment to get her some supper, push your way through the mob and hurl yourself like a flying wedge at the trough where the comestibles are exhibited. Once arrived on the scene of carnage, you can consume a cup of bouillon, some sandwiches, a little fet, some dry champagne, some oysters and a plate of salad, an ice and a cup of coffce. After this, if your hunger has been satisfied, take a morsel of gelatine, a doily and a ladyfinger, place them on a plate and force yourself through the compact lines of angry, feeding, dancing men, until you appear before your fair partner, declaring that you did your best, and that the rest of the provisions had disappeared. While she is thanking you, slip away to the smoking-room and send the man in at- tendance there for a bottle of your favorite cham- pagne. ¢ he has gone, you may busy yourself by selecting a dozen or more of the best cigars, so as to have something to smoke on the way home. At the theatre it is smart to “roast the show." Do not be afraid of wounding the feelings of your host and hostess. It is an even chance that they are more bored than you. If the actors seem to object to your conversation or show annoyance or impa- tience, try to remember that they are not society people, and are ignorant of all little graceful social conventions. On leaving the opera with the ladies, do not go into the side corridors with them, or you will surely be forced to look out for their carriage, a tedious and bothersome occupation. ‘The wisest thing to do is to at you have an appointment, and merge your- ith the rabble who are leaving by the front door, leaving the ladies in the drafty side‘entrance, where their footman will sooner or later discover them. ‘Bachelors no longer leave cards. It is considered outré, After dining a good many times at a house, a man may give a butler two dollars and his card. In return the butler will, during the next afternoon, dis- creetly slip the card upon the tray in the hall while the lady of the house is out driving. If you are literally forced to pay a call, merely ask the butler if the ladies are at home. Should he say “yes,” explain to him that you have mistaken the house, and that you are looking for the residence of another lady. Slip him a dollar and retire noise- lessly down the steps.—Metropolitan Magazine. OTHER (in a very low voice): Tommy, grandfather is very sick. Can't you say some- thing nice to cheer him up a bit? Tonncy (in an earnest voice): Grandfather, would- n’t you like to have soldiers at your funeral ?2—Lip- pincott’s. 'OMMY: Pop, what is the difference between a dialogue and a monologue ? Touury'’s Por: When two women talk, my son, it’s a dialogue; when a woman carries on a conversation with her husband, it's a monologue.— Philadelphia Record, Gifts to Hospitals “\ JANY witticisms fell daily from the lips of our late king,” said a Portuguese consul. “The King was, you know, a splendid shot. Ata dinner the rather inferior shooting of an English visitor was praised and some one said: “*And Lord Gadabout, you know, sends every- thing he shoots to the hospitals. “The King laughed, and taking the long black cigar from his lips, he said: ; “‘Naturally, since he never shoots anything but gamekeepers.’”—Washington Star. $63 The Baker Queen Victoria is the Most Popular Electric Carriage for ladies’ use.
