Show ! Ql'F.uiHs. A corresnondent, over j the signature of "Querist" a.-ks us: I it consistent with the rules of etiquette, or ev 'n common decency, w hen a young lady and een'lenian are I walking out togetli.-r on a Sunday eve, or at any other 1 1 1 1 1 - , tor any person or persons to be secreted bohim) a wall, and fiitiu a bucket of water on them. If nor in conformity witn the above rules does not. the individual who stoops to such an act deserve a severe reprimand repri-mand ? Our correspondent intimates that last Sunday evening himself and a young lady were treated to an aqueous dose of the kind and in the manner described. de-scribed. Not being specially proficient in etiquette, we feel a diffidence in answering an-swering the first part of the first query. But on the second part of the same question, we decidedly hold the opinion opin-ion that such an act is a gross violation of the rules of common decency and exceedingly unpleasant to the receiver. With regard to the latter query we think the offender is justly tn.iiled to a reprim ind, especially if it came in the shape of a bucket of chan water. Repi inland him by all means. |
