8. Show in a rough sketch the latest mode of shaking hands.

9. Give a brief account of any two of the following Society functions:

(1) The Royal Wedding, (2) the Eton and Harrow match, (3) Sandown,

(4) a first night at the Lyceum, (5) a wedding at St. Peter's, Eaton

Square, and (6) Henley.

10. Correct the mistakes (if any) in the following passage:--"Mr.

ALEXANDER, the Lessee of Drury Lane, appeared at the Haymarket as

_Becket_, in Mr. PINERO'S sparkling comedy of that name. He was

supported by Miss ELLEN TERRY as the _Second Mrs. Tanqueray_, and Lady

MONCKTON as _Portia_--the woman of no importance. After a successful

career of five hundred nights, Becket was transferred to Chicago, with

the cast strengthened by Mrs. BERNARD-BEERE, who consented to

accept, as a mark of respect to the management, the comparatively

insignificant part of _Charley's Aunt_."

11. Give a list of the eligible _partis_ of the season, with their

rent-rolls, distinguishing idiots from sensible men.

12. In conclusion, after four months' hard work at Society functions,

trace the benefit you have derived from your novel surroundings.
