can judge for yourself whether thzit eniii-so will be proper 01'
not. , .
If invited to spend the eveiiiiig with :1. friend. it is the
bounden duty of that friend to iiiti-mliice you to all of his or
her guests; but siipposiiig evei-yboily tliere liiis emiie by
invitation of your linsr. or liiistess, it. will not heoiit of place
to introduce yourself by li:u'iii;: ii. geiiei'a,l c0nvei':<:LtiniL 01‘

wise: “ Mrs. Jones, iillow ine tn iiitroduue to you my friend,
Miss Smitliz" “Mrs. Miller, allow me the lileasiire of iiiti'o-
