her face with the water, no matter how
carefully she may do it, but man who

VISITING MANNERS.
Tho Proper Way to Behave as Guest or
Hostess.


Many Of us who pride ourselves on
our good breeding are singularly blind
rs to what is due to friends who are
visiting people unknown to us, or who
are entertaining guests whom we have
never met. Nor are we more assured
as to some of the points of etiquette to-
ward our own guests. and to our own
hosts when we make an occasional fit
ting from home.
1t is useless to decry etiquette by
saying that the best manners in all
cases are those which hurt no enc.
This y true rs general law. but there
always are some points which leave no
room for experiments as to what will
hurt another. and which vet may be
settled once for all by few rules.
If you have an acquaintance who is
entertaining friends whom she wishes
you to meet, it is your duty to call
promptly. and if possible offer some
hospitality to both guests and hosts.
II the position is reversed. and your
friend is visiting people unknown to
you, never go to see your friend with
out leaving card for the hostess. If
you give any entertainment for the
friend, be very sure to invite her hosts
also. 1t does not follow that your in
vitation will be accepted. but if it is
the hostess must he treated rs the guest
of honor and shown every Difference.
If, for instance. the entertainment is a
luncheon for young ladies, she may be
asked to take the seat at the end of the
table opposite to your own.
IT tho rpntuol friand Ia vour fyua et
you may be sure that, if she is a wo-
man of good breeding, she in turn will
accept no invitation which does not in
clude you. although YOU may think
best to decline it and insist upon hor
going alone. Nor will she receive Wis
TORS without. asking you to join them
in the parlor- should her friends be
rude enough to have sent you no cards.
Here. too, you may excuse yourself. or
at most join them with such delay as
to give them a short interview alone.
These same rules should hold good for
you when you are the guest. Before
YOU 60 to make the visit, send word to
your friends where and with whom you
are to stay. so that there may be no
idea that you are in boarding-hou
and therefore mistress of your time and
surroundings. This constant Difference
to your hostess should lead you to or
der all letters and packages to be adj
dressed to her care.
As to the disposal of your time when
you are visiting no etiquette requires
you to accept all the plans Of your
hostess If you feel unable to do SO; but
care Is needed to show that refusal
means lack Of strength, not lack of in
terest and inclination. With little
tact on both sides you will have many
hours for Your own. Indeed. q skillful
hostess will manage to secure you this
privilege. and not make the mistake OF
working too hard to amusc you and Sc
absorb every moment of your visit
into her idea Of what is pleasure for
You.
No greater compliment is possible
than the quiet acceptance of your
preference in the intimacy Of family
life. Youths Companion.
