ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
M. M. (Tuturan). —Salts of lemon is the best thing for taking rust marks out of linen. Stretch the stained part over a basin of hot water, so that the steam keeps it damp, and gently rub on tJm salts with a damp rag. ±se careful to wash the salts carefully cut as soon as the stain is removed or they will rot the material. v Though some sticklers for etiquette might perhaps say so. there is really no necessity at all for the young man to seek a new abode. (2) It all depends upon the width of the stairs. If there is plenty of room to pass there is no need for the lady to remain at the foot of the stairs, but if these are narrow she should certainly wait till the gentleman has descended, and if he is polite he will reward her with a bow, and a “Thank you,’’ tire former of which she should return. Should a lady nnd gentleman meet on a narrow stairs he should make room for her to pass, and she should acknowledge the courtesy in her turn.
