-^ The Captain's Book of Etiquette. The old sea captain and bifi mates were sticklers (or (orm. In fact, etl- kay," it« they called it, had become a mania with them. After dinner when the cloth was cleared, wrltee Sir Henry Robinson In Memories, Wise and Otherwise, the captain often would send for the mates and the en- gineer and as we sat round the table profound hard cases on points of eti- quette. He used for his guide and mentor an amazing old tattered book that I •ometimes think must have been in- tended to be comic, because it pre- supposed such utterly absurd situa- tions. For example, if you were on 'top of an omnibus and saw a duchess In the street you could not with pro- priety wave your umbrella at her, no matter how weU you knew her. An- other thing: when dining with strang- ers you must not ask the butler for a toothpick at soup. There were many such "hard cases." The captain used to nile a sheet of paper and put all our namea down and award marks in accordance with our re- plies to the queries put There was one that made such an impression on m« that I made a penciil note of it, and I remember it to this day. We were all sitting round the table; the paper was ruled, and the captain began: "Now, Mackay, we'll take you first. If you was walking in a field with a young lady with 'oom you was but slighUy acquainted, and she was to Bit down on the grass, what should you do?" Mackay paused to try and imagine what his feelings and Intentions' would be in such a case and then replied, "I'd offer to git her a chair." "Um, ah!" said the skipper. "Not bad, but you might 'ave to walk a couple of miles to get one, and it ' wouldn't look shipshape for an officer , of one of Her Majesty's finest cruisers to be walking about the countryside ' luggin' a chair after him. However, it's a thoughtful-like thing, and I'll give you five marks. Now, Mr. Tre- lawn-ej-, what do you say?" "Well," said Trelawney, "I'd argify wltb. her agin it, and if words wouldn't move her I'd take off my ooat and give tt to her to sit on." The captain thought deeply. "Well, I don't think that's; the answer, but it would be a delicate kind of thing to do, and I'll give you seven. Now, Mr. Lyoils, you're next." "I'd ax the young lady for to get up find run me a race," said the plump little second mate. "Go on!" said the skipper. "How could you expect a lady with 'com you were but slightly acquainted to start ruimln* races with a pot-bellied little bloke like you?" Then after we had all offered our Klutlons to the hard esse Qie skipper consulted the key at the end of the book and announced what tbe cannons of refined society ordained as the duty of the male escort if a lady of high degree decided suddenly to sit down on the grass. " 'The gentleman,' " read the skipper, " 'must remain standing till the lady axes him for to Bit down." "Of course, of course," said the mate; "fools we were not to have seen It" The above photograph shows the presentation of colors to the Mohawk Company of the Braatford Girl Guides, the only company of Indian guidea In Canada.

At five years of age he could just walk under his father's outstretched arm. At seven be was his dad's equal in altitude.
