The German Seat of Honor.

In tha more rigid German circles the sofa Is still the seat of honor, upon wlilch the hostess sits, to which the visitor may be Invited.

Very kindly the baroness explained that the sofa was sacred and a man would do well to wait for the to sit upon It. Does that tradition linger In England? —Loudon Chronicle.
