Never send a present hoping for

tations. Freeze to the present you
buy. You are dead sure of that.
Never question your neighbours

The best way is to "snook' around

Maxims for Home Use.

There is one important thing that

tcrtainmcnt of guests-treat them
all with equal courtesy.
BE also careful to treat your poor
cr and humber relations, whom
you bave invited to Your house,
with due respect and corlialiiy;
neither with any show of patronage
nor any marks of neglect.
Whoever else may be your guests,
let there be nothing in your manner

complsh this is not TO be ashamed
of her.
She may not dress in the latest
fashion, and her talk may be OF
country matters; she may ask some
queer questions, and show her IA
mliarity with IA style of life that is
somewhat foreign to that of your
other visitors; hut if YOU are not
willing, under all circumstances, to
treat her with cordial civility. you
should not have asked her to your
house.
IL ~ possible that, after all. in
the eyes of Your ariStocratic friends
she may seem To have more good
sense than their host.
None ever loses caste in the Opin.

such rs move in Il lowlirr sphere.
Neither should the rich visitors
be treated with over. obscquiuuS at.

for It, or respect NOu any the more
tor your excess OF difference.
Above all, never allule 10 the
fact of their visiting You as an act
of condcsccntion on their part, or
by any word or look Indicate that.
IN yonr opinion, they hold Il higher
position IN society than you do.
II YOU fall in with their prcjndic.
