60955	Is that a euphemism?"
60955	Or shall I improvise where you do not remember?"
60955	What possible cause?"
60955	Why are the Polite People of Pudibundia so polite?
60955	Why wo n''t I return?"
60955	Would n''t a superior be too polite to give a reprimand to an inferior?"
26597	''And you feel dis_ fauteuil_ really very_ com- for- ta- ble_?'' 26597 ''Well, John, have you considered what additional wages you are to have for taking your hat off?''
26597	''Well, sir,''said John,''and have n''t I a right to?'' 26597 ''Well,''said John,''if I have a right to, why should n''t I?''
26597	''You find yourself now much improved, madame?'' 26597 And after your egg--?"
26597	And what did you do with the shell?
26597	How is it possible?
26597	Matter? 26597 Why, Brother Blunt, what is the matter?"
26597	Without breaking it, of course?
26597	_ V.--VIL YOU SAY SO, IF YOU PLEASE?"
26597	''I fear, madame,''said she,''that you suffare ver''much-- vat can I do for you?''
26597	And has the wife no duties?
26597	And if consent is refused?
26597	And then, how should she meet the blunt, honest elder again?
26597	And what did you do when you took soup?"
26597	And what do good manners require of the ladies?
26597	Are we equally ready to respect the rights of others?
26597	As to the affairs of others, what are they to you?
26597	But if it is not, which should go first?
26597	But may we not speak to a person without an introduction?
26597	But tell me, how did you eat your bread?"
26597	But the coffee, how did you manage it?"
26597	But to proceed: after your soup, what did you eat?"
26597	Do you know where to put your feet and what to do with your hands?
26597	Does not the husband rightly claim as much, at least, as the lover?
26597	First, when you sat down at the table, what did you do with your napkin?"
26597	How_ do_ you stand?
26597	Is not the wife more, and better, and dearer than the sweetheart?
26597	Is there a sufficient reason for making this an exception?
26597	Is this too much?
26597	Its form is,"Shall the main question now be put?"
26597	Reader, are you married?
26597	Through whose fault comes this state of things?
26597	We have, of course( as what gentleman has not?
26597	Who ever ate soup with a fork?
26597	_ Arrangement of Guests._ Where rank or social position are regarded( and where are they not to some extent?
26597	or,"Are you ready for the question?"
35975	Poor little fellow,he said,"are n''t you cold standing here?"
35975	What are you looking at; what do you want?
35975	A woman calling on a friend or acquaintance on no definite day makes some such inquiry as follows of the servant at the door:"Is Mrs. Gray at home?"
35975	After all, what can be quite so lovely as beautiful manners?
35975	An unmarried woman is always presented to a matron in this manner:"Mrs. Brown, may I present Miss Jones?"
35975	And what can be more worthy of admiration and respect than a sweet, well- mannered young girl?
35975	And, after all, do n''t you yourself judge people by what they do, and say, and wear?
35975	And, after all, is n''t it happiness that makes life worth while?

35975	Beneath the picture the words"Wo n''t you please come to my party?"
35975	CHAPTER II ETIQUETTE''S REWARD THE ORIGIN OF MANNERS Why do we observe certain set rules of convention?
35975	Do n''t you read in their manner and appearance the secret of their inner worth?
35975	For has n''t she served her guests well?
35975	For how can the boor be happy?
35975	For instance,"Miss Daniels, do you know my sister, Mildred?"
35975	Franklin?"
35975	Has n''t she sent them to their homes a little happier than when they first came?
35975	Have you seen it?"
35975	Is n''t character and disposition revealed in the outer personality?
35975	It is perfectly correct to ask:"Did Mrs. Roberts call you Miss Gray?"
35975	Jones?"
35975	May I call some evening when you and your mother are at home?"
35975	May I expect you also?
35975	Of what use is wealth and power and position if we can not have the ones we love, the ones who love us?
35975	SHOULD A STRANGER LEAVE CARDS?
35975	The bride''s father remains directly behind her until the clergyman asks,"Who giveth this woman to this man?"
35975	The correct form to use when one man is introduced to another is usually,"How do you do?"
35975	To the question:"What shall the gift be?"
35975	WHEN TO INTRODUCE"To introduce or not to introduce?"
35975	WHEN TO INVITE The question naturally arises, what are the occasions that require hospitality?
35975	WHY IT PAYS TO BE AGREEABLE Why should we know the laws of etiquette?
35975	What is a gentleman?
35975	When introducing a friend to one''s parents it is correct to say,"Mother, may I present Miss Smith?"
35975	Where in the city can you find the good- fellowship, the spontaneity, the courteous kindliness that you find in the small town and village?
35975	Where in the city can you find the open- hearted generosity, the sympathetic understanding and the simple courtesy that you find among country people?
35975	Who of us has not heard the successful business man decline an invitation to a reception because he"had no time for such nonsense"?
35975	Who of us has not heard the uncultured boor boast that he is not restricted by any"sissy manners"?
35975	Why do we greet people in a certain ordained way-- by nodding or by lifting the hat?
35975	Why do we make introductions and send invitations and cultivate our manners and speech?
35975	Why should we be agreeable?
35975	Why should we know the way to do and say things?
35975	Wo n''t you come, too?
35975	Would it not have been more sensible to bury him simply and unostentatiously, preserving a little of the money left her for the necessities of life?
35975	or"Miss Daniels, may I present my brother, Harry?"
35975	or,"Are the ladies in this afternoon?"
36048	To be sure I do; do you think that I would allow a negro to outdo me in politeness?
36048	What perfection?
36048	What signifies it?
36048	What, sir, taking the bones out of a hare?
36048	And who would be so cruel as to add affliction to the afflicted?
36048	Are you going to eat of everything that is handed?
36048	As to subjects for conversation, what difficulty can there be about them?
36048	But do n''t you hear the servant offering you sherry?
36048	But his grace, drawing himself up, said:"May I know, sir, to whom I have the honor of speaking?"
36048	But why should a lady and gentleman, who know who each other are, scornfully and doggedly pass each other in the streets as though they were enemies?
36048	Ca n''t you take your hands down, sir?
36048	Can you not speak of the"Philosophy and science, and the springs Of wonder, and the wisdom of the world?"
36048	Did any lady ever see a gentleman with an embroidered waistcoat, and a profusion of chains, rings, and trinkets adorning his person?
36048	Did n''t you, learn that in the nursery?
36048	Did n''t your mamma say to you,"Never put your hands above the table except to carve or eat?"
36048	Do not even say,"How is your brother to- day?"
36048	Do not ruffle or provoke any man; why should any one be the worse for coming into company with you?
36048	Do you take it for a towel?
36048	Good, but----?
36048	In another letter, he writes:"Do you mind your dancing while your dancing master is with you?
36048	In helping the soup, never say,"Will you let me assist you to some of this soup?"
36048	In inviting a lady to dance with you, the words,"Will you_ honor_ me with your hand for a quadrille?"
36048	In inviting a lady to take wine with you at table, you should politely say,"Shall I have the pleasure of a glass of wine with you?"
36048	Is it not better to suffer a little inconvenience than to show yourself decidedly vulgar?
36048	Never reply, in answer to a question like the following,"Did Mrs. Spitewell tell you how Miss Rosebud''s marriage was getting on?"
36048	Nothing is ruder than to say,"Pardon me, will you repeat that sentence?
36048	The word assist is not"selon les règles de la bonne société,"but simply,"Shall I send you some?"
36048	We have seen many instances where a lady, fond of dress,( and what lady is not fond of dress?)
36048	What does it signify where a picture hangs, or whether a rose or a pink looks best on the drawing- room table?
36048	Who would care about sitting and moping for a dozen of hours on board a steamer without exchanging a word with anybody?
36048	Who would not pick up a jewel that lay on a dung- hill?
36048	Who would think of regaling a circle of ladies with the beauties of Homer''s Greek, or a mixed company with Sir Isaac Newton''s discoveries?
36048	Why should you give any man the advantage over you?
36048	Why should you refuse a man the pleasure of believing that he is telling you something which you never heard before?
36048	Will not books, balls, bonnets and metaphysics furnish pleasant topics of discourse?
36048	Will you, or will you not, do turbot?
36048	You dare not ask the blessing of your Heavenly Father upon such addresses; and without His blessing, what happiness can you expect?
36048	_ Eat slowly._ Have you not heard that Napoleon lost the battle of Leipsic by eating too fast?
36048	_ Will_ you attend to your lady, sir?

36048	are you trying to eat meat with a fork alone?
36048	did I really see you put your knife into your mouth?
36048	or,"Shall I have the_ honor_ of dancing this set with you?"
36048	or,"Will you give me the_ pleasure_ of dancing with you?"
36048	some will say--"why tease a youth about such matters?
36048	what can I do?
36048	what on earth do you mean by wiping your forehead with it?
28998	Did you ever?
28998	How are you?
28998	How shall it be avoided? 28998 Is that so?"
28998	Ladyor"Gentleman?"
28998	Revealed form is vulgar, suggested form poetic,says the high art of to- day, and who would not be poetic and gracious if she could?
28998	What can I do or omit to advance my suit? 28998 What more could I be,"he queried,"than hers truly, body and soul?"
28998	Will you let me love what I so much admire? 28998 Yes,"and"no,"in reply, and"what?"
28998	An interrogation point(?)
28998	Are they not worthy of being put into practice?
28998	At that point in the service where the question is asked,"Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?"
28998	Besides, why curtail the luxuries of courtship?
28998	But no, she phrases it conventionally:"Will you come and receive with me?"
28998	Dare I hope that I have your pardon for so great a seeming negligence?
28998	Discordants, can you not trace many of your antagonisms and miseries to their ignorant violation?
28998	Do they not expound nature''s love- initiating and consummating ordinances?
28998	Do you accord me this privilege, on this condition, for life, forever?
28998	Do you accord me this privilege, on this condition?
28998	How shall they come to understand their mutual relations and duties?
28998	How shall they treat each other?
28998	I pin a flower on my dress for a bit of color, or adjust a bow where I know it is becoming; why should I not apply the decorative idea to my speech?"
28998	If lace and silk are worn indiscriminately, what is there left for the full dress function?
28998	Is it any wonder that the pretty hostess''friends call her barn dance the big event of the year?
28998	Jones?"
28998	May I enshrine you as queen of my life?
28998	Now, where shall we place the corner?
28998	Parents, what are they worth to put into your children''s hands, to forewarn them against carelessly, ignorantly, spoiling their marriage?
28998	Right or Left Arm?
28998	Should haste to enjoy the lusciousness of summer engulf the delights of spring?
28998	So, is it not at least worth while to do as much to preserve the interest of marriage?"
28998	Some gentlemen, if simply asked to"call sometime,"will ask,"when may I have the pleasure of seeing you?"
28998	The phrases,"Good morning,""Good evening,""Good afternoon,""How do you do?"
28998	What is that something?
28998	What is the correct method to pursue in preparing for a trip into dreamland, for there is a right as well as a wrong way?
28998	What is your opinion?"
28998	What masculine luxury equals making women in general, and the loved one in particular, happy?
28998	What would you give to again wield that same bewitching wand?
28998	When a young man is introduced, why plunge at him with a volley of phrases?
28998	Who Bows First?
28998	Who has not heard of the_ petite soupers_ of the Regency and the brilliant minds there assembled?"
28998	Will not my admitted greater affection, with my earnings, do more for you than they with more money, but less love?"
28998	Would you have any objection to lending it to me for a copy?
28998	Yet is not parting those married by a love-_spirit_, equally so?
28998	Yet was not he the_ first_ practically to repudiate?
28998	Young ladies, what are they worth to you, as showing you how to so treat your admirers as to gain and redouble their heart''s devotion?
28998	Young men, what are these warnings and teachings worth to you?
28998	and with this feeling could their married life have been other than it was, beautiful to look upon?

12426	And now inform me how you ate your bread?''
12426	Can it be said that this is good taste?
12426	Can this be called dressing in good taste?
12426	Demeanour of the Betrothed Pair Should a Courtship be long or short?
12426	Did our readers ever see a London housemaid cleaning the doorsteps of a London house?
12426	Does this sound like an enigma?
12426	How can we otherwise account for the change which has taken place in language, which is not the same that it was fifty years ago?
12426	How did you drink yours?''
12426	How did you drink yours?''
12426	In such a dilemma, ought he to have unburdened his heart of its secret through the medium of a letter?

12426	In the first place there was your table- napkin-- what did you do with that when you sat down at table?''
12426	Let not people say of her,"Did you see that ugly girl with that scarlet feather in her hat?"

12426	What soup had you?''
12426	What soup had you?''
12426	What then is the reason why dress has become so expensive?
12426	When we may, why should we not choose the best and most becoming?
12426	Whether in a crop, or twisted up in a coil?
12426	Whether in plaits or bows?
12426	Who could endure for life the vulgarity of mind that suggested such a costume for a fête in the country on a hot summer''s day?
12426	Who does not delight in the simplicity of dress which the French, Norman, and Breton peasants still preserve?
12426	Who shall say that all must dress alike?
12426	Who that had any regard for his own liberty would marry such a strong- minded, pretentious dame?
12426	Who would dream of placing a Grecian portico to an Elizabethan building?
12426	Why are we to mortify ourselves and annoy our friends by choosing something because it is especially hideous?
12426	Why attempt to wear a bonnet of almost primitive form with dresses of modern dimensions and style?
12426	Why is she afraid to wear her own grey hair?
12426	Why should it be made of so much consequence as to write a manual upon it?
12426	Why then endeavour to combine old fashions with new?
12426	Will any one affirm that it is a matter of indifference how the hair is dressed?
12426	_ Should a Courtship be Short or Long_?
12426	did you ever?
12426	or why wear flounces when they are out of fashion, and full skirts when everything is_"gored"_ into plainness?

23025	Are you the president of the Hudson Railroad?
23025	Do?
23025	Does this suit you?
23025	How do you account for the fact that you have come to place so much emphasis on courtesy?
23025	May I speak to your personnel manager?
23025	Now, what will you have to eat?
23025	President of the Hudson Railroad?
23025	Shall we try them?
23025	Well, young man, what can I do for you?
23025	What are you laughing at?
23025	What did you want, sir?
23025	What kind of soup do you like?
23025	What would you do if you were I?
23025	What''s the matter with that number, Miss Fisher?
23025	What,we asked the manager of a bookshop which caters to a large high- grade clientèle,"do you find your greatest trouble?"
23025	When shall I be most likely to find him free?
23025	When will he be back?
23025	When will he be free?
23025	Where can I find the trunks?
23025	Who is your father?
23025	Why did n''t you tell us about it?
23025	Why do n''t you take him a book?
23025	Will you tell him, please, that I am coming back to- morrow at the same time?
23025	Will you tell him, please, that I am here, all the same? 23025 _ Hello, what do you want?_"is no way to answer a call.
23025	An infinite supply of courtesy would, of course, be a priceless asset to him, but does not this work both ways?
23025	And with the people who are stationed about for the purpose of answering questions almost anywhere?
23025	And would you believe it, my profits during the first year were more than fifty per cent bigger than they were the year before?"
23025	Did the salesman act wisely?
23025	Did you ever get to the door of a house you were about to enter and then turn and walk around the block before you rang the bell?
23025	Did you ever walk around the block six or eight times?
23025	Did you speak?
23025	Eh?
23025	Foch said that he won the war by smoking his pipe, but does any one believe that the great commander won the war by not working?
23025	How can he best perform it?
23025	How many times can a man be expected to answer such a question with a smile?
23025	In this case which of the women should extend the first invitation?
23025	Is it not, after all, much better for people to meet face to face instead of hiding themselves behind masks?
23025	Is it right for him to do so?
23025	Is there any one who can not sympathize with a"sucker- sore"attendant?
23025	It is dangerous( is it necessary to add that it is incorrect?)
23025	LADIES FIRST?
23025	Meantime, what shall the office boy do?
23025	Now how-- this is our problem-- does one go about making a gentleman?
23025	Say that again, will you?''
23025	Shall the office boy remind him of this?
23025	Should she draw on the savings bank for more delicate viands?
23025	Should she, for the great occasion, hire more beautiful china and engage servants?
23025	Suppose the head does not deserve it?
23025	WHO AM I?
23025	What right have people to bother other people with perfectly foolish and imbecile questions?
23025	Will it make him feel like placing more responsibility on his assistant''s shoulders to see him living beyond his means?
23025	Will you be seated here in the reception room,"motioning toward the door which is at one side of his desk,"while I find out if he is busy?"
23025	Will you let me come back some day when you are not so busy and tell you more about it?"
23025	Would he have gained anything by proving that his house was superior to Hicks and Hicks?
23025	Would it have mattered?
23025	Would not people come to the place which gave them the best service?
23025	Would not the same principle work in a bank?

22222	A pious intention, was n''t it?

22222	If we can be of use to you in the future, will you let us know?
22222	If you can arrange an appointment for me during the next week, will you let me know?
22222	Is his statement correct?
22222	Is it to be wondered at that even the parson here is acquiring the habit of swearing?
22222	Is the cellar dry?
22222	Is the house completely screened?
22222	May I get a small trial order from you?
22222	May I send my heartiest congratulations?
22222	May he publish it without permission?
22222	May we hear from you at once?
22222	May we look forward to having again the pleasure of serving you?

22222	Mrs. Hester Wickes, 59 Market Street, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Dear Madam: Do you ever have arguments over bills that you have paid in cash?

22222	My dear Mrs. Trent, Will you and Mr. Trent give us the pleasure of your company at a small dinner on Tuesday, December the twelfth, at seven o''clock?
22222	Or if you can not secure them, will you purchase as second choice Two jars in Kashan ware, with blue as the predominating color?
22222	Perhaps there was some lack of courtesy, some annoying error in your bill which we were exasperatingly obtuse in rectifying?
22222	Perhaps you think that you can not have absolutely fresh vegetables for your table or that it really makes no difference?
22222	Shall I be treated courteously when I go into the bank?"
22222	The floors-- of what wood and in what condition are they?
22222	Was the agreement that the lawn should be cut the next day, or the next month, or the next year?
22222	Were we stupid in filling some order or did we delay in delivery?
22222	What a man or a woman principally asks about a bank is:"Will my money be safe?
22222	What does he care most to read?
22222	What is your opinion and what course would you recommend?
22222	What kind of vegetables are you getting?
22222	What limit have you placed on the account?
22222	When can the house be ready for occupancy?
22222	Where is the laundry?
22222	Why not say it at once and abolish the wordiness?
22222	Why not start thinking now?
22222	Why not?
22222	Will my affairs be well looked after?
22222	Will you be quite frank and tell me why you do not buy from Sweetser''s now?
22222	Will you convey to him our thanks?
22222	Will you favor us by filling out the form enclosed and mailing it back as soon as convenient?
22222	Will you give us the chance to get acquainted?

22222	_ For a card party_ 500 Park Avenue My dear Mrs. King, Will you and Mr. King join us on Thursday evening next at bridge?
22222	_ For an informal tea_ My dear Miss Harcourt, Will you come to tea with me on Tuesday afternoon, April the fourth, at four o''clock?
8399	And this humiliation, too?
8399	Can I bring you some tea?
8399	Do you believe in chance?
8399	Do you believe in ghosts?
8399	I can never plead a cause before my father?
8399	Is Miss Lucy at home?
8399	Is that window too cold?
8399	Is there more talent displayed in learning the violin than in playing a first- rate game of chess?
8399	Is_ Lucy_ home?
8399	Pray, can you tell me who the pianist is?
8399	WHO PAYS FOR THE CARDS?
8399	What do you think of a ladies''club?
8399	2 might have perfect respect for the girl?
8399	A correspondent writes,"How shall I carry my fork to my mouth?"
8399	A pun is made on his name:"Should owled acquaintance be forgot?"
8399	All this we wish to say; but how shall we say it that our words may not hurt him a great deal more than he is hurt already?
8399	And who was a greater optimist than your Athenian?
8399	And yet no man would come into a lady''s drawing- room saying,"Where are the girls?"
8399	Another correspondent asks,"Should cheese be eaten with a fork?"
8399	Another of our correspondents asks,"Shall I respond to the lady of the house or to the bride if asked to a wedding?"
8399	Are they alone the visionaries who see the best rather than the worst?
8399	As there are always two sides to a shield, why not look at the golden one?
8399	As young people are often asked without their parents, the question arises, What should the parents do to show their sense of this attention?
8399	B � ranger was of the world, worldly; but can we give him up?
8399	But are those, then, the fools who see only the pleasant side?
8399	But does our bashful man know this?
8399	But if we were to answer the young lady''s later question,"Would this be considered etiquette?"
8399	But is it not improperly using a term of implied reproach?
8399	But the questioner may ask, Why invite guests, unless we wish to see them?
8399	But what shall we give them?
8399	But what shall we say to those on whom disgrace has laid its heavy, defiling hand?
8399	Can language measure the depth, the height, the immensity, the bitterness of that grief?
8399	Can not the elegance, the repose, and the respectfulness of the past return also?
8399	Could we all have abundant leisure and be sure to find our friends at home, what more agreeable business than visiting?
8399	Do not the breezes go through them?
8399	Do they not suffer from cold?
8399	Else, why such gifts as beauty, talent, health, wit, and a power of enjoyment be given to us?
8399	Has she necessarily less insight?
8399	He must be near enough to respond quickly when he hears the words,"Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?"
8399	He would Say;"Where are the young ladies?"
8399	How and when and on whom shall we leave our cards?
8399	How can we say to a mother who bends over a fresh grave, that we regret the loss she has sustained in the death of her child?
8399	How long and for whom shall we wear mourning?
8399	How much of the native good- will of an impulsive person has been frozen into a caustic and sardonic temper by the lack of a little optional civility?
8399	How shall we give a dinner- party?
8399	How shall we lay our hand so tenderly on that sore spot that we may not inflict a fresh wound?
8399	How shall we use a fork?
8399	How will she be accepted by another lover after having enjoyed the hospitality of the first?
8399	However, two new people generally overcome this moment of embarrassment, and then some simple offer of service, such as,"Can I get you a chair?"
8399	If he lack the inferior arts of polite behavior, who will take the trouble to discover a Sir Walter Raleigh behind his cravat?
8399	If our late brilliant sunsets do not supply enough, how shall we light our summer dinners?
8399	In fact, there is one great universal question, What is the etiquette of good society?
8399	Is it the dress in which she feels that she ought to meet the gaze of a mixed assemblage in a crowded hotel or in a much frequented thoroughfare?
8399	Is it well to write to them at all?
8399	Is not sympathy sometimes malice in disguise?
8399	Is there not something quite unenlightened in the persistence with which we connect death with gloom?
8399	It is not a communistic spirit that asks,"How can I do this thing in a better way?"
8399	It should be met by the surprised rejoinder of the Hoosier school- mistress:"Do n''t yer know enough to speak when yer spoken to?"
8399	Many of our correspondents ask the embarrassing question,"Who is it proper to invite to a first ball?"
8399	Many of our correspondents ask us,"What shall we order for a garden- party?"
8399	Many people make a most ostentatious display of plate and china on their sideboards, and if one has pretty things why not show them?
8399	Nothing could be simpler than the riding- habit, and yet is there any dress so becoming?
8399	Now as to the use of it by the afflicted: why would it not be well for persons who have lost a friend also to have such a card engraved?
8399	Now if there is a woman in the world who does not know what to talk about, is it not a very difficult thing to tell her?
8399	Now one of our correspondents writes to us,"Who pays for the_ after_-cards?"
8399	Now the question comes up, and here doctors disagree: When may a lady call by proxy, or when may she send her card, or when must she call in person?
8399	Now where is his dinner party?
8399	Now, do you not run great risks when you abandon your homes, and bring out your girls at a hotel?"
8399	One can almost as well answer such a question as,"What shall I see out of my eyes?"
8399	One correspondent inquires,"Who should be asked to a wedding?"
8399	One of our esteemed correspondents asks,"How much soup should be given to each person?"
8399	One of the cleverest questions asked lately is,"What shall I talk about at a dinner- party?"
8399	Or shall we say, in simple and unpremeditated words, the thoughts which fill our own minds?
8399	Our correspondents often ask us when a letter of condolence should be written?
8399	Particularly is this true of apartment- houses; and when people live in hotels, who knows whether the card ever reaches its destination?
8399	Rousby?"
8399	Shall we be pagan, and say that"whom the gods love die young,"or Christian, and remark that"God does not willingly afflict the children of men?"
8399	Shall we not be mistaken for those who prowl like jackals round a grave, and will not our motives be misunderstood?
8399	Shall we quote ancient philosophers and modern poets?
8399	Shall we tell her what she has lost-- how good, how loving, how brave, how admirable was the spirit which has just left the flesh?
8399	She will say:"Have the young ladies come in?"
8399	Should the father of the bride send him a check?
8399	Some Englishman asked an American,"What sort of a country is America?"
8399	Some ask:"Shall I send them to the bride, as I do not know her mother?"
8399	Some of our correspondents have no good asked us what the best man is doing at this moment?
8399	Supposing we take up music, it is far more agreeable to hear a person say,"How do you like Nilsson?"
8399	The question is often asked us,"Should invitations be sent to people in mourning?"
8399	Then, our querist may ask, Why is the term,"she is a beautiful_ lady_,"so hopelessly out of style?
8399	Therefore a mistress will not say"Have the_ girls_ come in?"
8399	They"form"on a roadside, and the master of the hunt says,"Ladies and gentlemen, will you hunt?"
8399	This seems to trouble some people, who ask,"How will such a person know I am married?"
8399	We began all over again; and now there comes up from this newer world a flood of questions: How shall we manage all this?
8399	We have been asked by many,"To whom should the answer to an invitation be addressed?"
8399	We have been asked, Who shall conduct the single bridesmaid to the altar?
8399	What change of dress can there be left for the drawing- room?
8399	What is the etiquette of a wedding?
8399	What mortal sin has he committed?
8399	What shall we say that is not trite and commonplace-- even unfeeling?
8399	What so good as an egg salad for a hungry company?
8399	Whatever may go wrong, the lady of the house should remain calm; if she is anguished, who can be happy?
8399	When should a lady call first upon a new and a desirable acquaintance?
8399	When wear a dress- coat?
8399	Who does not pity the trembling boy when, on the evening of his first party, he succumbs to this dreadful malady?
8399	Who is to repay the bridegroom if_ he_ has paid for the cards?
8399	Who was to blame?
8399	Who would miss the chance, be it one in ten thousand, of building such a bridge?
8399	Why does it betray that the speaker has not lived in a fashionable set?
8399	Why not still more when a married pair have weathered the storms of twenty- five years?
8399	Why should they not get their more interesting letters that contain invitations?
8399	Why should they?
8399	or"Where are the women?"
8399	sometimes sound like"I am so glad for myself?"
34200	A good work, too,said"Thoughtful";"and now, what shall we do next?"
34200	Can you tell me, please, which is the way to East Thorpe?
34200	Children,said she,"Christmas will be here in a month; shall we make a present for little Davie?"
34200	Did he tell the people at the party what he had done?
34200	Do you promise, Daisy?
34200	Do you think he will come to- morrow, mother?
34200	Edwin heard the scream and said to himself,''I wonder what that is? 34200 How funny,"said Elsie;"what are sea- biscuits like, Jack?"
34200	How is this?
34200	How nice it is to hear the corn as it rustles in the wind,said Olive,"and listen, Gertie, is not this a pretty tinkling sound?"
34200	I have called to take your little boy for a drive,said the gentleman,"but I am in a great hurry; could you have him ready at once?"
34200	Is= that= what happens to boys who get into a passion?
34200	May I give you a little water, auntie?
34200	Perhaps your mother would not be pleased to see you carrying my bundle?
34200	Think now, what could you do?
34200	True,said"Thoughtful";"but what did= you= do, dear"Selfless"?
34200	What is patience, mother?
34200	What is that?
34200	What is the wall made of?
34200	What shall I do?
34200	Where are the six sisters? 34200 Where are you going?"
34200	Where are you, kitty? 34200 Who are''mortals''?"
34200	Whose blanket is this?
34200	Why?
34200	( Why do they not draw it along?
34200	( or to younger children): How did the boy''s rudeness make Alice feel?
34200	(= They= were not brave, were they?)
34200	98) who threw his bag here, his cap there, and his coat somewhere else, did you?
34200	= Why= did the general offer his seat to the old woman?
34200	= Why= do we obey?
34200	A little bird comes flying to the cherry tree and asks,"May I have one of these rosy little balls, please?"
34200	Alec wakes and rubs his eyes; what has happened?
34200	And do you know why?
34200	And do you think it is right, dear children, to make mother unhappy?
34200	And have you noticed the strong, green cup which closes round the petals at night, and keeps them all safe?
34200	And how do you think his mother cured him?
34200	And pray, what have you done for the flower?
34200	And what will be the end of it all?
34200	And why is he eating so quickly?
34200	Anyhow, it was better than crying and making a fuss, do you not think?
34200	But is she happy?
34200	But this is what I want you to learn, the saliva is never to be sent out of the mouth in the way that is called"spitting"( an ugly word, is it not?
34200	But why does Gladys feel so wretched all at once?
34200	But why does Stephen take such large bites, and fill his mouth so full?
34200	Can you guess how his mother felt?
34200	Can you guess how his stockings were?
34200	Can you guess how= ashamed= each girl felt?
34200	Can you guess the rest?
34200	Can you guess what she wanted it for?
34200	Can you guess why?
34200	Can you tell who was rude in this story?
34200	Can you think of anything else that should be kept clean besides the nails?
34200	Could anything be more delightful?
34200	Could he not take it over his arm, or put it on in the afternoon?"
34200	Did any one know about it?
34200	Did he leave the water and say,"It is of no use to try"?
34200	Did not the horse behave like a gentleman?"
34200	Did you ever hear of a horse who could behave like a gentleman?
34200	Did you know that trees and birds, bees and flowers could be kind to each other?
34200	Do all the little girls love to have smooth, clean pinafores?
34200	Do not you?
34200	Do you know the name of this queen?
34200	Do you know what he meant?
34200	Do you know what it is to be contented?
34200	Do you know what shrimps or prawns are?
34200	Do you know what the wheels needed to make them go sweetly?
34200	Do you know who it was?
34200	Do you know= why= we do not look about in church?
34200	Do you like to have your hands clean?
34200	Do you not think so?"
34200	Do you remember the story of"Lulu and the Wool"?
34200	Do you think we could find out the secret of being clumsy?
34200	Down came the children for breakfast, and Frank cried:"Is the fire not lighted, mother?
34200	Had any one seen her?
34200	Have you ever counted its ten long legs?
34200	Have you ever heard of the"Black Country"?
34200	Have you ever known a little girl who cried whenever her face was washed?
34200	Have you ever known children who did not like to do as they were told?
34200	Have you ever sat at table with a child who was never still?
34200	Have you ever seen a girl walking along the street with her head turned backwards, trying to look behind her as she goes?
34200	Have you ever seen a glass jar of pure honey, no bits of wax floating in it, all clear and pure?
34200	Have you ever seen a stag with its graceful, branching horns?
34200	Have you ever seen children riding donkeys at the seaside?
34200	Have you noticed how softly pussy moves?
34200	Have_ you_ heard that voice, dear child, Speaking in you, gentle, mild?
34200	Hilda''s bright eyes were always ready to see anything that was needed:"Shall I pass you the salt, grandpapa?"
34200	His mother was speaking to a lady on the seat behind, and when the child was asked,"What is the matter?"
34200	How came you here?
34200	How do we get the coals to our houses-- the coals that make the bright, hot fires?
34200	How is it that boys and girls so often forget to close the door quietly?
34200	How is it that we have trains now?
34200	How musical is the flow of the stream, and do you not love to hear the splash of the oars as they dip in the river?
34200	How should they manage?
34200	How was this, do you think?
34200	I wish Carl had felt like that about the piece of sugar; do not you?
34200	I wonder if untidy people are lazy?
34200	I wonder if you have ever seen any little children who make you think of those disagreeable wheels?
34200	I wonder if= you= can guess the reason?
34200	If the bird had been an eagle, with strong claws that could have hurt them in return, would they have stoned it?
34200	If you were eating plum tart or cherry pudding, how should you manage with the stones?
34200	Is it not this?
34200	Is not it for want of taking= care=?
34200	Is not that clever for such a little fellow?
34200	It is so that we may think of what we are saying; if we kept them open, we should be thinking of what we were= seeing= instead, should we not?
34200	It is the same with clumsy people-- they forget to take care?
34200	It was not a great thing to promise, was it?
34200	Just then mamma came up and said:"Have you finished, children?
34200	Little child with eyes so blue, What has mother done for you?
34200	Now before Alice came into the carriage, what do you think the boy had been doing?
34200	Now do you know the two things that the= wrong= voice told Cecil to do?
34200	One day, as they sat on a mossy bank in the Fairy wood,"Selfless"asked,"What shall we do next, sister?"
34200	Or if a child omits to say"Thank you,"he may be reminded by asking:"Have you forgotten''Alec and the Fairies''?"
34200	Shall I tell it to you?"
34200	Shall I tell you a little secret?
34200	She had a cord tied round her waist, with which she had been fastened up, and what do you think she did?
34200	So the bird has a nice fruit banquet with the cherries, and then, what do you think= he= does for the tree?
34200	That was not grateful, was it?
34200	That was rude and unkind, was it not?
34200	The Tidy Girl:-- And what about the tidy girl?
34200	The box was there, but what do you think?
34200	The fire makes a pleasant sound as it burns and crackles in the grate, and who does not like to hear the"singing"of the kettle on the hob?
34200	Then a letter came asking,"Has Rosy had my letter with the present?"
34200	Then he determined to turn back, and try to reach the road, but where are his footprints?
34200	Then he said in a loud voice,"Well, mother, how''s your head?"
34200	Then he stopped to think for a minute, and looked at the rag as much as to say:"What shall I do with you next"?
34200	They were away two or three hours, and when they returned their mother said:"Well, boys, what did you see in your walk?"
34200	Two white rows of pearly teeth, What can prettier be?
34200	Was it not?
34200	Was not she a clever, thoughtful, kind monkey?
34200	Was not that a sweet, kind thing for a one- year- old baby to do?
34200	Was not that cruel?
34200	We have learnt two lessons from Fred, what are they?
34200	Were not they foolish?
34200	What comes out on your forehead sometimes on a hot day?
34200	What could be the matter, what had happened?
34200	What could we do without the brave, strong horses?
34200	What did he do that was rude?
34200	What do we see all over the sponge?
34200	What do you think Fred did?
34200	What do you think the kind, gentle horse did?
34200	What effect did the boy''s rudeness have on Alice?
34200	What had happened?
34200	What is it for?
34200	What is it that the dirt does to your pores?
34200	What is it?
34200	What kind of man was he?
34200	What should she do?
34200	What should the lady have said?
34200	What should you think is the best thing for children to do?
34200	What would the girl''s mother say when her eggs were all wasted?
34200	When the girl had gone, auntie asked,"Where are your shoes, Lilie?"
34200	When you have been smelling a tiger- lily, has any of the yellow dust ever rested on the tip of your nose?
34200	When you have been walking down the street, has it ever happened that you could scarcely move for the people who are blocking up the causeway?
34200	Where are the toys?
34200	Where did the wool come from that makes your nice, warm clothes?
34200	Where do we get our milk, butter and cheese?
34200	Where do you think it comes from?
34200	Which do you like best?
34200	Who left his bat lying across the garden path so that baby tumbled over it and got a great bump on his little forehead?
34200	Who was it slammed the door when mother had a headache?
34200	Who will pick up all these things, and tidy the two rooms that Percy has left in such a dreadful state?
34200	Why are we so glad to be near the sea, with its glorious, rolling waves, and to bask in the warm, bright rays of the sun?
34200	Why could not the captain guide the ship?
34200	Why did he not learn to tie a bow?
34200	Why do men and boys take off their caps and hats when they enter a church or chapel?
34200	Why do we close our eyes when we pray?
34200	Why do we hang pictures on the walls, and put plants in the windows?
34200	Why do we love her so much?
34200	Why do we love the flowers and the trees, the bright green fields and the waving yellow corn?
34200	Why does the little violet hide away?
34200	Why is it, do you think, that a boy raises his cap?
34200	Why is it?
34200	Why was Minnie rude?
34200	Why?
34200	Would the peaked caps fall off?
34200	Would= you= leave all your clothes scattered on the floor for some one else to pick up, instead of folding them neatly yourself?
34200	Would= you= like to be a sluggard?
34200	Would= you= make all that fuss and trouble about shaking hands with any one?
34200	Write on Blackboard and let the children repeat the following:-- What is it to be rude?
34200	You have held the pretty buttercup under your chin to make it look yellow, but have you ever looked carefully at the shining petals of gold?
34200	You have often gathered buttercups and daisies, but have you ever gazed into the daisy''s yellow eye, and thought how wonderful it was?
34200	You have often played at keeping shop, have you not?
34200	You know that the country in which you live is an island?
34200	You know what that is, do you not?
34200	You remember Elinor, in Story Lesson 79, how she upset her tea, broke the vase, and spoilt the tablecloth, all for want of= care=?
34200	You remember who it was that said:"Will you walk into my parlour?"
34200	You would not call= those= brave children, would you?
34200	[ 7] Did you ever hear of a monkey having toothache?
34200	and do all of you keep your hands and faces clean?
34200	and do the boys like to have a clean collar and smooth hair?
34200	and have you noticed how the boys beat the poor things sometimes to make them go faster?
34200	could not they get a little boat and take Lewis to the steamer?
34200	or a little boy who screamed each time he had a tumble, although he might not be hurt in the least?
34200	or the sound made by the bow of the boat as it cuts through the water?
34200	or would you like another to have the trouble of putting away all your toys?
34200	said she,"what shall I do?
34200	what is this?"
34200	who thought that= they= knew best-- better than father or mother?
34200	you porter there, is my luggage all right?"
39005	''And you feel dis_ fauteuil_, really ver''_ com- for- ta- ble_?'' 39005 ''You find yourself now much improved, madame?''
39005	A good deal is left for the imagination,I replied,"regrets what?"
39005	And how is it in modern times?
39005	And the bill, sir?
39005	And what became of the barbarian in the large chair?
39005	And what said Uncle Hal?
39005	Are the ladies of our country, then, so remiss in politeness?
39005	At what hour do you propose going, ladies?
39005	Before I leave you, my dear Miss Peters, will you allow me to make a prophecy?
39005	But who is this formidable youth, Miss Campbell?
39005	But why, brother? 39005 But, Charley, dear, what about the horse?
39005	But, Colonel, do tell me, have you read Macaulay''s second volume?
39005	But, pa, I ought to answer the note to- night or very early to- morrow morning-- it would not be polite to keep Mr. Blakeman----"A note, eh?"
39005	Certainly, my dear; but tell me what you are thinking of; what troubles you my child?
39005	Come in, my daughter, come-- what will you have?
39005	Dear brother,expostulated his companion,"do n''t you know that Mrs. R---- is not well?
39005	Did Mr. B---- come out in a carriage?
39005	Do be quiet, children,interrupted Ida, reprovingly;"now, uncle dear, wo n''t you take us?
39005	Do n''t be wrathy, Smith-- what''s your tipple, old fellow?
39005	Do tell, Jul,exclaimed a young lady,"where_ have_ you been marvelling to?
39005	Do you know what she said to that poor woman?
39005	Do you mean that he_ lives by his wits_, as the phrase is?
39005	Do you never smoke?
39005	Do you wonder now at my manner at the dinner? 39005 Does he_ sleep in them_?"
39005	Does your anxious mother know you''re out?
39005	For what word are you looking, so early?
39005	Have you ever chanced to remark this picture?
39005	How are you, Fred, how are you? 39005 How did that get into the card- basket?"
39005	How''s the old lady?
39005	How''s your ma, Mr. John Smith?
39005	I am not surprised,exclaimed Dr. de H----,"my friend Sir C---- G----, who saw you this morning, asked me afterwards what country was you of?"
39005	I do n''t mean to be, mother; but--"From what do you draw such a sweeping inference, my child?"
39005	I say, what''s the name of that gentleman who has just gone off in that carriage there?
39005	I think I am not mistaken, sir; have we not met before?
39005	I would like the drive-- but, Charley, had we not better put it off until to- morrow morning? 39005 If you are a prophet of_ good_, sir"----"Can you doubt it, when your future fate is the subject?"
39005	In a whisper?
39005	Is he a_ Filibuster_?
39005	Is n''t that sufficient to condemn the perpetrator to''durance vile''in the_ paradise of fools_?
39005	Is not an_ engraver_ an artist?
39005	Is that all, Miss----?
39005	Know him? 39005 May I ask the honor of a presentation to my sometime prisoner?"
39005	May we be permitted to inquire what those are?
39005	Miss----,I asked, advancing towards my fair friend,"will you let me invite your attention to this new study?
39005	Mother, my revered maternal primitive, may I read you this anecdote? 39005 My_ loving spou_,"as Bessie says, when she recites John Gilpin,"may I trouble you to tie my cravat?"
39005	Never heard that of him,answered the other youth,"how the deuce could he?
39005	No?
39005	O, I mean when the_ speaking- trumpet_, as Governor S---- called him, shouted out--''_fricandeau de veau!_--What''s he, Fred? 39005 Pleasant morning, Judge!--if I do n''t intrude"( a glance at me, and no introduction by the chief- justice),"is this seat unoccupied?"
39005	Should you know him again?
39005	Sir- r- r?
39005	Some chicken fixins and pie doins would n''t be so bad-- would they, though?
39005	Then you did not think me careless, and were not vexed?
39005	There is the first dinner- gong,said she, to herself, starting up,"what shall I do?
39005	Uncle Hal, is n''t an artist_ a gentleman_?
39005	V----? 39005 We would have waited for you,"interposed Ida;"why did n''t you tell us?"
39005	Well, but, do you know it''s twelve o''clock? 39005 Well, we''ll see about it-- when is the concert?"
39005	Well, well; what has that to do with her treatment of me? 39005 Well, what was the answer?"
39005	What are Mr. Waldo''s politics?
39005	What are you all so busy about?
39005	What does Miss Ida mean?
39005	What has become of the Governor?
39005	What in thunder do you know about horses, Isabella?
39005	What is it, Betty? 39005 What is that?"
39005	What is the fare from here to O----?
39005	What is the price of that candelabra, in the window?
39005	What kind of traps?--mouse traps?
39005	What name, sir?
39005	What shall I pay you?
39005	What the devil, then, does she make her appearance for, if she ca n''t observe the common proprieties of life?
39005	What''s in the wind-- who''s to stand the shot?
39005	What, Hal-- jealous?
39005	What, in particular, do you refer to, my dear? 39005 What?"
39005	Where''re you going, Fred? 39005 Wherefore_ Colonel_, and of what?"
39005	Which is your favorite picture here, Miss Lunettes?
39005	Which one,--where?
39005	While we are so literary, mother-- what is it about the dolphin? 39005 Who is that fine- looking young man, Colonel Lunettes?"
39005	Who is that polite old man?
39005	Who is that young man, sir?
39005	Who the d---- is that fellow?
39005	Why, Blanche, what''s the trouble? 39005 Why, how was that?"
39005	Will you just take it into the hall, and take off the paper, Biddy? 39005 Will you not come in a moment?"
39005	Will you tell me why, pa?
39005	Wo n''t you join us, sir?
39005	You''re E Pluribus-- you''re a brick,returned Mr. Smith, softening,"but where in thunder are those female women?
39005	Your_ mother_,--is she well this morning?
39005	_ Eat?_thundered the disciple of Galen,"the poker and tongs, if you will_ chew them well_!"
39005	''I fear, madame,''said she,''that you suffare ver''much:--vat can I do for you?''
39005	''What is Dr. J---- like?''
39005	''_ Apres vous, madame, je vous prie_,''[3] said he, with the most courtly air;--so that was Sir C---- G----?"
39005	***** But now for an exemplary anecdote or two:--"Colonel Lunettes, do you know some gentleman going to U---- in this train?"
39005	***** Will that do for this time, boys?
39005	*****"Doctor, what may I eat?"
39005	*****"Husband, do you know a young Mr. V----, in society here-- a lawyer, I think?"
39005	*****"What are you doing there, sir?"
39005	*****"What, coz, still sitting with your things on, waiting?
39005	*****"Where and how is the most charming of Jewesses?"
39005	--"Is my band- box put on?"
39005	----?"
39005	--stretching his ungainly limbs upon the porch of the house--"won''t some tipple be fine?
39005	After a scarce perceptible pause, the lovely narrator proceeded:"There was that huge moon- struck face--["_sun- struck_, perhaps?"
39005	After an exchange of civilities, turning respectfully to the governor, he said:"Governor T----, can I be of any service?
39005	After sitting a moment beside the lady, Mr. Clay said, abruptly:--"''Miss----, what is your definition of true politeness?''
39005	Ai n''t you a pretty fellow?
39005	And you, sir, will you hear them?"
39005	As a contrast to these anecdotes, how does the following incident impress you?
39005	Be careful not to let it get dirty and wet, inside, will you?"
39005	Blakeman?"
39005	But what are you doing with that huge, bearish- looking coat?
39005	But, Corné, what happened to the senator?"
39005	But, come, cozzy dear, will you go now, or is your patience all gone?"
39005	Ca n''t one have a''charming adventure,''and yet have nothing to tell?"
39005	Can we, then, learn nothing from the matured civilization of the Old World in regard to the_ Art of Living_?
39005	Can you make only a lesson in elocution out of this; or will it also illustrate our present theme?
39005	Colonel, will you allow me?"
39005	Could n''t she trust him with the rest of the family for a few minutes?
39005	Did she remain during the whole time of your call?"
39005	Do n''t I surpass all other asses at a bray?''"
39005	Does he like milk?
39005	Get up, now, you rascal, will you?"
39005	Had we not better return?"
39005	Has he really troubled you?
39005	Have n''t you been impatient?"
39005	Have you remarked the magnificent head of the gentleman with her?
39005	Have you seen the last''Harper,''Colonel?"
39005	How can you allow such a thing to distress you in this way?"
39005	How few, for instance, would have responded as readily, in an emergency, as did the half- drunk servant of Swift:"Is my fellow here?"
39005	How would you feel disposed to treat a gentleman who had encroached upon your rights in this way?''
39005	How would you like to go with me to look after my Western investments next month?"
39005	I bowed slightly, and hurried on:--but was n''t it beautiful?
39005	I remember, at this moment no better illustration of ready repartee:"How are you this morning, sir?"
39005	Is it all over with him?"
39005	Is it not suggestive?
39005	Is it possible that you do not feel that it is so?
39005	Jerome?"
39005	Ladies, it is said, are the_ readers_ of America, but who ever sees the dear creatures donning spectacles in youth?
39005	Left all the folks well?"
39005	Lunettes?"
39005	May I get out for them?
39005	Miss Ida, will you let a lonely old fellow join your party?
39005	Mr. Y---- will walk over and accompany you-- you are at the Hotel?
39005	Mrs. and the Misses Simpson?"
39005	Now, here is this person, Colonel C----, I think, if I heard the name?"
39005	Sacredly are they cherished among the hoarded memories of youthful friendship?
39005	Shall I read them, mamma?
39005	Shall we defy the race to which we belong, on this point alone?
39005	Should we not hesitate by exhibitions of such qualities of our nature as are happily still dormant in them, to force them into precocious development?
39005	Take this to mammy will you, Biddy?
39005	They are easily amused, easily gratified-- shall I add, easily_ satisfied_, mentally?
39005	Upon this, some member, upon the_ opposition benches_, as the English say, called out:"What are his claims?
39005	V---- was one of the_ aids- de- camp_, on the occasion, as I knew by the white love- knot( what is the fashionable name, wife?)
39005	Was this most gallant knight of yours a_ young_ gentleman, may I ask?"
39005	What a brilliant color!--You were driving this morning, were you not?
39005	What did you think of me for delaying so long?"
39005	What do you think of such examples of industry and perseverance as these, young gentlemen?
39005	What''s your name, dear?
39005	What_ could_ be the matter?
39005	When''d you get in?
39005	Where do you sit, Colonel?"
39005	While yet unstained by the pollutions of the world, should we not render a certain homage to their pristine purity and innocence?
39005	Who, pray?"
39005	Why are you so superior to the rest of your sex?"
39005	Why seek in the frailty and fallibility of human nature a justification of personal distrust and indifference?
39005	Will you permit me to attend them?"
39005	Will you permit me to leave you, after requesting the honor of attending you?''
39005	Willie?"
39005	Would a man imbued with"The fair humanities of old religion"have needed such a rebuke, from such a source, think you?
39005	Would you have thought it so late?"
39005	Would you like a velvet jacket, eh, my fine fellow?"
39005	Y----?"
39005	You will thus learn not only to pity the erring, but, perchance, sometimes to ask yourselves in profound humility--"_who hath made me to differ_?"
39005	and a right clever fellow he is:--why, my dear?"
39005	and spoken text placed within single quotes on Page 90- Quote removed after"you?"
39005	another new hat?"
39005	changed to single quotes on Page 90- Double quote added before"And"and double quotes before"And"and after"com- for- ta- ble?"
39005	chimed in the flute notes of another of the gay junto,"what can equal the General''s_ verdancy_?"
39005	cried Mr.----, in a voice trembling with ill- suppressed fury,''do you know that you are trespassing,--that these are_ my_ grounds?''
39005	cried a smooth- browed Englishman--"not re- cooked, I hope?"
39005	cried she, in tones, mirth- engendering as the silvery call of Dian, goddess of the dewy morn,( is that poetry, I wonder?)
39005	exclaimed her father, laughing--"do you fear the flight of our gazelle, here?"
39005	inquired another lady,"does wisdom keep pace, in exact proportion with length of beard?"

39005	said Ernest, at last,''is n''t the bed ready yet?''
39005	so that''s his name?"
39005	that to me, my dear?
39005	what is the matter with you, that you do not speak to me?"
39005	where did he serve?"
39005	will you have time, this morning, to look over these papers, in the case of Smith against Brown?''
39005	you ai n''t done?"
14314	And etiquette?
14314	Did Madame like her white velvet?
14314	Grape fruit cup, madam?
14314	Match backgrounds, like charming little animals?
14314	The sixteenth? 14314 Was it not most useful?
14314	Which team are you for in the series?
14314	Why in the name of goodness did n''t you tell me the truth about these people?
14314	Why is it, do you suppose, that young wives always dislike their mothers- in- law?
14314	Will Mrs. Smith play bridge with Mrs. Grantham Jones this afternoon at the Country Club, at four o''clock?
14314	Will you permit me to recall myself to you?
14314	Will you take the 3:20 train? 14314 You an American?
14314	''Borrowed,''and''blue''?"
14314	( on no account say"Do you not?"

14314	= ASKING FOR A DANCE= When a gentleman is introduced to a lady he says,"May I have some of this?"
14314	= ETIQUETTE= CHAPTER I WHAT IS BEST SOCIETY?
14314	= HOW MANY BRIDESMAIDS?= This question is answered by: How many friends has she whom she has"always promised"to have with her on that day?
14314	= INFORMAL GREETINGS= Informal greetings are almost as limited as formal, but not quite; for besides saying"How do you do?"
14314	= THE MAIDS''MEN FRIENDS= Are maids allowed to receive men friends?
14314	= TO DETERMINE AN OBJECT''S WORTH= In buying an article for a house one might formulate for oneself a few test questions: First, is it useful?
14314	= WHAT TO SAY WHEN INTRODUCED= Best Society has only one phrase in acknowledgment of an introduction:"How do you do?"
14314	A friend would probably know the daughter; in any event the mother''s introduction would be,"You remember Cynthia, do n''t you?"
14314	A hostess says,"Mrs. Jones, may I present the Duke of Overthere?"
14314	All children should say,"What did you say, mother?"
14314	And Mrs. Norman, who very much likes Celia Lovejoy, says cordially,"I am so glad you spoke to me, do sit down, wo n''t you?"
14314	And all this means?
14314	And do they presume because of her"familiarity"when she remembers to ask after the parlor- maid''s mother and the butler''s baby?
14314	And the bisque cloth-- surely Madame had found great satisfaction in wearing the bisque cloth?"
14314	And the highest of us"servants"of the people and the State?
14314	And then saying quickly and quietly whatever it was he came to say, as quickly and quietly make his way out again?
14314	And was it Monday for lower Fifth Avenue?
14314	And what is the result?
14314	And when someone says"How are you?"
14314	And you must be----?"
14314	Another is the expounder of the obvious:"Have you ever noticed,"says he, deeply thinking,"how people''s tastes differ?"
14314	As Mrs. Toplofty said at the end of a bewilderingly lavish party:"How are any of us ever going to amuse any one after_ this_?
14314	As for a nurse, is there any vocation more honorable?
14314	At bedtime she always asks:"Would you like to come down to breakfast, or will you have it in your room?"
14314	At present we are admiring plain silver and are perhaps exacting that it be too plain?
14314	Bachelor on Wednesday?"
14314	Besides, what is the matter with trying to be agreeable yourself?
14314	Best Society always says"do n''t you?")
14314	Black crêpe de chine?
14314	But countless persons with perfectly good hearing say"What?"
14314	But do these things merely seem so to us because young men of fashion do not pay party calls nowadays and the young woman of fashion is informal?
14314	But it is astonishing, is n''t it, how many people who are depositing nothing whatever, expect to be paid in admiration and respect?
14314	But may I be permitted to ask why you wear their uniform?"
14314	But since it is more prudent for young women to arrive under her care, why run the unnecessary risk of meeting Mrs. Grundy''s jackal on the doorstep?
14314	But why go on?
14314	But why, when their house looks out upon a garden that has charming vistas, must she insist on his looking into the clothes- yard and the ash- can?
14314	CHAPTER III GREETINGS= WHAT TO SAY WHEN INTRODUCED= As explained in the foregoing chapter, the correct formal greeting is:"How do you do?"
14314	Do come in and see him, wo n''t you?
14314	Do not repeat"Mrs. Jones?
14314	Do you ever see a man go through his mail and see him suddenly droop-- as, though a fog had fallen upon his spirits?
14314	Do you see him reluctantly pick out a letter, start to open it, hesitate and then push it aside?
14314	Do you think I am light enough to wear gray?
14314	Does anyone living buy anything because someone, who knows nothing, tells another, who is often an expert, what an indiscriminating"They"may be doing?
14314	Does n''t it?
14314	Does that sort of saleswoman ever succeed in selling anything?
14314	Does this false idea of dignity-- since it_ is_ false-- go so far as that?
14314	Example: Dear Mrs. Smith: Will you and Mr. Smith dine with us on Thursday, the seventh of January, at eight o''clock?
14314	Finally, he was asked point blank:"Do n''t you think the wedding was too lovely?
14314	Finding yourself next to one of these, you venture:"Have you seen any good plays lately?"
14314	For instance, suppose you say,"Are you there?"
14314	For instance: Dear Mrs. Kindhart( or Martha): Will you lunch with me on Monday the tenth at half after one o''clock?
14314	Fourth, if it were eliminated would it be missed?
14314	Gradually you are becoming nervous-- what can have happened?
14314	Has she a large circle of intimates or only one or two?
14314	He might even stagger under bags and suitcases, or a small trunk-- but carry a"bundle"?
14314	He should never say,"Have you a partner?"
14314	How could they be?
14314	How do you like it?
14314	How does Mrs. Oldname walk?
14314	How many have noticed that Southern women always bow with the grace of a flower bending in the breeze and a smile like sudden sunshine?
14314	I can put in the black lace day dress; perhaps I had better put in my cerise satin----""The cerise?"
14314	I know he would not like you to be kept waiting; can I be of any service to you?
14314	I think gray looks well on fair- haired people-- I do n''t know whether you would call my hair fair or not?
14314	If Mr. Smith and Mrs. Jones are themselves telephoning there is no long conversation, but merely: Mrs. Jones:"Is that you Mrs. Smith( or Sarah)?
14314	If a dinner is given by a hostess who has no car of her own, a guest will sometimes ask:"Do n''t you want me to have the car come back for us?"
14314	If he does not know them by sight he asks whichever is nearest to him,"What name, please?"
14314	If not, will you ring?"
14314	If she is sitting in a group, he can go up and ask her,"Do n''t you want to dance some of this?"
14314	If the Ambassador of France is presented to her, she says"How do you do?"
14314	If the car is very crowded when he wishes to leave it and a lady is directly in his way, he asks:"May I get through, please?"
14314	If the hostess"forgets,"the guests always ask before trooping down the aisle"How do you want us to sit?"
14314	If the usher thinks a guest belongs in front of the ribbons though she fails to present her card, he always asks at once"Have you a pew number?"
14314	If you are much stared at, what_ sort_ of a stare do you usually meet?
14314	If you doubt it, put the question to yourself:"Who could possibly have the manners of a queen in a gray flannel wrapper?"
14314	In all monosyllabic replies a child must not say"Yes"or"No"or"What?"
14314	In answering a bell, she asks"Did you ring, sir?"
14314	In asking a lady to go to supper, a gentleman should say"Will you go to supper with me?"
14314	In asking to be received, her query at the door should be"Are any of the ladies at home?"
14314	In the same way he asks later before pouring wine:"Cider, sir?"
14314	In the same way young Struthers calls up Millicent Gilding,"Are you going to be in this afternoon?"
14314	Invitation to a house party at a camp: Dear Miss Strange: Will you come up here on the sixth of September and stay until the sixteenth?
14314	Invitations to a house party are often as not telephoned:"Hello, Ethel?
14314	Is a zebra even seen in patches of sun and shade?
14314	Is an emerald lizard conspicuous in the tropics?
14314	Is dinner never going to be served?
14314	Is it bold, or mocking, or is it merely that people look at you wistfully?
14314	Is not that delicious?
14314	Is not that thought exquisite?
14314	Is she a lady?
14314	Is she going to travel, or live quietly in the country?
14314	It all depends-- is she to be in a big city for the winter season, or at a watering place for the summer?
14314	It is perfectly correct for a stranger to say"May I have a cup of tea?"
14314	It is still more likely that the suggestion to join comes from a friend, who says one day,"Why do n''t you join the Nearby Club?
14314	It sounds improbable, does n''t it?
14314	Jones?"
14314	Jones?"
14314	Jones?"
14314	May Pauline take him to your dance on Friday?
14314	Maybe she thinks they do not go together?
14314	Mentally, he seems to say:"Well, here I am-- and now what?"
14314	Mrs. Oldname, somewhat taken back, answered rather wonderingly:"Is it dreadful?--Really?
14314	Mrs. Smith?
14314	Neighbor, you know Jim, do n''t you?"
14314	Norman?"
14314	Older people, on the other hand, very often go for a supper to one of the cabarets for which New York is famous( or infamous?
14314	On the other hand, neighbors who are continually meeting, gradually become accustomed to say"How do you do?"
14314	One naturally exclaims,"But how stupid of her, why did n''t she go up- stairs?
14314	Or do they not know, whether their inflection is right or wrong?
14314	Or formally,"Mrs. Faraway, may I present my husband?"
14314	Or in a house which has the remains of a cellar,"Champagne?"
14314	Or is it merely striking, or amusing?
14314	Or the one her husband bought and had marked for her?
14314	Or usually, whom?
14314	Or would its place look as well empty?
14314	Or would she prefer not to have a substitute ring and have the whole wedding party on their knees searching?
14314	Or"Is n''t it lucky they have such a beautiful day?"
14314	Or"May I take you to supper?"
14314	Or"Will Mr. and Mrs. Oldname dine with Mr. Clubwin Doe on Saturday at the Toit d''Or and go to the play?"
14314	Or, an elder lady asks:"Are n''t you Mary Smith?
14314	Or,"Mrs. Denver, do you know Mary?"
14314	Or--"Wouldn''t it be easier if you took my arm along here?
14314	Otherwise, why so eagerly boast of the achievement?
14314	Perhaps some one asks about Ernest?
14314	Second, has it_ really_ beauty of form and line and color?
14314	Shall I introduce him?"
14314	Shall she play the phonograph to you?
14314	She smiles and perhaps says,"I hear that you are going to be in New York all winter?"
14314	Smith?"
14314	Sounds impossible?
14314	Strong or weak?"
14314	Struthers?"
14314	Struthers?"
14314	Such messages, however, follow a prescribed form:"Is this Lenox 0000?
14314	The Frenchman replied:"Well, we are making war for civilization, are we not?
14314	The bride''s lament after this was--"Why had she not worn her prettiest things?"
14314	The first thing to ask in engaging a waitress is,"Can you clean silver?"
14314	The guest card mentioned above is as follows:= PLEASE FILL THIS OUT BEFORE GOING DOWN TO DINNER:=_ What time do you want to be awakened?
14314	The question is, what?
14314	Their chief concern is whether this is correct, or whether that is properly done, or is this person or that such an one as they care to know?
14314	Then there is the vulgarian of fulsome compliment:"Why are you so beautiful?
14314	They seem, like_ Hermione_( Don Marquis''s heroine), to be anxiously asking themselves,"Have I failed to- day, or have I not?"
14314	Third, is it entirely suitable for the position it occupies?
14314	Those who intend giving tickets should remember that a message,"Can you use two tickets for the Russian ballet to- night?"
14314	To a friend of one''s daughter: Dear Mary: Will you and Jim come on Friday the first for the Worldly dance, and stay over Sunday?
14314	To a young man, however, she should say,"Mr. Struthers, have you met my daughter?"
14314	To say"What is your name?"
14314	To- day their attitude is:"Is he good enough for Mary?"
14314	Under any of these circumstances when he proffers his assistance, he might say:"Do n''t you think you had better take my arm?
14314	Vulgar annexes him by saying, casually,"Have you a seat at table?
14314	WHAT IS BEST SOCIETY?
14314	Was not her black lace charming?
14314	Were n''t the bridesmaids beautiful?"
14314	What business has he to teach me my job?"
14314	What can she do with all of us?"
14314	What makes a brilliant party?
14314	What woman does not wince at the viselike grasp that cuts her rings into her flesh and temporarily paralyzes every finger?
14314	What would Madame wear in a flower garden?
14314	Whatever possessed you to ask these people to your horrible house?
14314	When did you get back?"
14314	When he says"Who giveth this woman to be married?"
14314	When he turns away, the man at the lathe says,"Who was that guy anyway?
14314	When some one is talking to you, it is inconsiderate to keep repeating"What did you say?"
14314	When the servant returning says either"Will you come this way, please?"
14314	Where do all bachelors get those nice and so very respectable elderly maid servants?
14314	Who does not dislike a"boneless"hand extended as though it were a spray of sea- weed, or a miniature boiled pudding?
14314	Why did n''t her son send for her?"
14314	Why not shut your front door tight and pull down the blinds and, sitting before a mirror in your own drawing- room, order tea for two?
14314	Why should I call them at all?"
14314	Why should n''t he?
14314	Why should they?
14314	Why would he think he had ability?
14314	Will he be so pleased with himself then?
14314	Will you accord me permission?
14314	Will you and Arthur come on the sixteenth for over Sunday?"
14314	Will you and your husband( or John) dine with us to- morrow at eight o''clock?"
14314	Will you be godfather?
14314	Will you let me?
14314	Will you please ask Mr. and Mrs. Smith if they will dine with Mrs. Grantham Jones next Tuesday the tenth at eight o''clock?
14314	Worldly remarked:"What would be the use of Celia Lovejoy''s beauty if it depended upon continual variation in clothes?"
14314	Worldly says"How do you do?"
14314	Worldly says,"How do you do?"
14314	Worldly,"My cousin is staying with us, may I bring him to your dance?"
14314	Worldly?
14314	Worldly?"
14314	Would she prefer the substitute ring that was actually the one she was married with?
14314	Would something else look as well or better, in its place?
14314	Would you know the secret of popularity?
14314	Would you like her to telephone to a friend who sings too wonderfully?
14314	Would you like to look at a portfolio of pictures?
14314	Yet are not the best of us"servants"in the Church?
14314	You ask your husband what is the matter with the forks?
14314	You have scarcely found your own stateroom and had your deck chair placed, when one of them swoops upon you:"I do n''t know whether you remember me?
14314	You need them all for the dinner you ordered, how can there be less?
14314	You remember, Uncle Bob sang out it was good I was already married, or I would n''t be this year?
14314	Young?"
14314	Younger and the Ambassador likewise say"How do you do?"
14314	_ Personal Trousseau_ How many dresses can a bride wear?
14314	and where is her loveliness then?
14314	and worst of all to add"Where did you get it?"
14314	are these people never going home?"
14314	asked her husband,"Is that the red you had on the other night?
14314	have him put out his hand in frank and easy and yet deferential friendliness?
14314	is there anything more typical of the average spare room than the clock that is at a standstill?
14314	or May I?
14314	or if especially well- mannered she asks"Did Madam ring?"
14314	or"Do you care for whiskey and soda, sir?"
14314	or"Horrid weather, is n''t it?"
14314	or"Lord Blank?
14314	or"What have you been doing lately?"
14314	or"What is the news with you?"
14314	or"Would you care to dance?"
14314	or,"Mrs. Jones, do you know my mother?"
14314	or,"Mrs. Jones, you know Mrs. Robinson, do n''t you?"
14314	or,"On the sixteenth?"
14314	with a rising inflection on"--thers?"
14314	you can say"Good morning"and on occasions"How are you?"
