There are three essentials which must be un-
terstood and acted on before visits and visit
Ing VIII ever iulh. the ideal oil the pleasure
ihey ought To De and to give. First. nothing
must he done for parade OF show. No matter
how rich o man DE. if he sets on bis dinner
ulle one thing. either 10 be eaten or to be
booked ar. simply for show, II Is chSlleuge
aud an offence. of course, nobody Is 50
uH-ur as O. maintain that the rich must
make dinners Ot herbs because the poor
,lnn1t Afford stalled oxen. \ very feast Of
good things. both for the eve and the palate,
can be- set ont without any attempt At OF any
succession of mere parade, mere display.
There are rlcntv of ways in which a man
may advertise his wealth, if he likes, with
out doing il in bis hospitality To do it
there. or even seem to do it there, is the
very ESSENCE of vulgarity and real InhOspi-
taIity. To avoid bv every possible device
and fr .he utmost tact the bare suggestion
that the guest IS the recipient, and not the
e4uferrer of ay3rs Is. the principle Of en-
teruiumcnt. 70 ask a man to your house
and treat him rs if he were inspector Of
wines or tax-.atherer on SILVER Is a piece of
very coarse stupidity and 10 make a very
great diferercc between the way You live
when YOU are alone and the way You 1--we
when you lave friends under YOUR root Is
,urelva verv direct way OF lnjurIug One's own
egll-rc-psct. Of casting an unpleasant reelection
un ones own personal standard Of taste.
The second essential Of the ideal visit and
visiting. is that the host, not the guest, set
tie limit Of the visit. There Is 50 very iAlse
a notion in this country on this point that
italmo-t seem, a. If 1t must spring out Of
national lack of directness and sincerity.
Egeryb BODY knows, when he asks a friend to
his house. how long he wants him TO stay.
There may be fifty reasons combining to
make MIN very glad Of a visit three days
long. and very much inc0nyenienced by one
longer Honest people ought to find no
difficulty in saving this and honest people
take no offence at hearing it. This does
away with all possibility OF mlsconstructlon
on either side. with all uncertainties as to
welcome. with all fears of intrusion.
4 third essential of ideal visits and visit
I'M, i. that there be on the part Of the no It
no strained effort to entertain or amuse the
guest. on the part of the guest, no ex-
pectati0n Of being amused or entertained
