A Chapter .on Courtship. An old-fashioned book of etiquette con- tains a chapter on courtship that is exceed- ingly naive. Any young man who might be. contemplating a proposal of marriage was urged, strongly to select with care and due forethought the proper time and place for such proposal. For instance, he should never propose to a young woman while out boating, for, if she should happen to refuse him, it would be difficult to reach shore im- mediately, and the sitgation would obviously be awkward. On the other hand, if she should accept him .the situation would be equally undesirable, since too close a 'prox- imity and certain attitudes incident to the circumstances are known to threaten the safety of a boat. `Also, said young man was advised never to propose to a young woman just before dinner: Having been without eating for some hours, she would, doubtless, be in a less amiable frame of mind than usualrefuse an offers which atr these anothertime might seem desirable.

Charity may cover a multitude of sins, but there are more crimes, more worrying little deviltries committed in the name of charity than in the name of any other virtue. ' " A woman thinks she is charitable when she asks a man what he thinks -about- the future. Now, when he has a raging fever, and every separate and individual bone in his body is aching, and his eyes feel like balls'of fire, the future doesn't trouble him in the least ; it is , the present that he is interested in ; and a good sponging off with cool a;lcoh,l, the straightening 'up of a bed, and the giving of a veritable' drink of cold water is a fat .rester charity than pictur- ing to that mad what he would look like dressed up as an' 'igel, playing on: a .harp.

A sick man is always a -sad and sorry sight -especially if he isn't 'very sick. He has it firmly planned out that he is going to die. He thinks nobody ever had such pains as ho did, , and -from the very first takes an aggressive position toward the doc- tor, regarding him as a personal enemy, rather than a kind friend."
