"hot Is ones SOCIAL Duty'
Often we hear one friend ask this
question of another. Is ones social
duty done by accepting and giving in
vitations? What do we bind our
selves to in accepting the hospitality
of a friend or acquaintance? Is oar
duty by her done when we have enter
ed the portal of our hostess and have
given her greeting? Do we owe apy=,
thing to her guests? If we are man,
do we do our duty when we neglect
speaking to the ladies whom we know?
If we see chance when we can be Of
service to our hostess in making things
pleasant and agreeable for her, is not
that our duty to be ready and happy
to do her bidding or even to anticipate
it? If we are woman our power to
do more than to make ourselves as
agreeable as we may is limited. We
can then only be kind, generous and
considerable of other women as it comes
in our way. We cannot seek the op,
