The question was raised. one evening.
Has old-time hospitality died outf" 1t
has and IL has not. The time was when q
friend came In he or she was invited to
''lay aside your wraps" or, as the Southern
expression goes. rest your clothes" That
Is rarely done now. One may go out for q
series of visits and not one hostess will
think of such q thing. 1t has been taken
for granted so long that the clothes Will
not be rested that the invitation. from long
no-n-acceptance. has ceased TO be given.
Just the same Gs one person invites another
to visit her. she never does accept. and the
requests are discontinued. People have as
great a desire to be hOspItable as they ever
had. They are as delighted to AVE
their friends come and see them. and
stay long enough to get be-
yond the common-places of the
weather and health of the family, but the
visitors have not time. The demands
church, social, charitable and various
others-are such that the hours are all too
full for what must be crowded into them.
The woman is the exception who hnds time
hang heavily upOn her. When one goes
out to visit 1t is generally to make as many
calls as possible In an afternoon. and really
stealing the time from something which
they deem vastly more important. Ii a
friend or acquaintance goes into the house
of another it is taken for granted that 1t
Will be only for a brief call. unless
some previous arrangement has been
made that the visitors shall spend the
evening. or that they so inform the ones
intimate friends are different. but in
time past not SO very Many years,
either. n one called upon another
without being asked otake of bonnet and
coat. and If near meal time persuaded TO
remain. In many houses an extra seat at
table was always provided. In case OF an
unexpected guest. In small places, where
time IS not the luxury tits III cities. the Old
fashioned % hospitality exists. but 1t Is
not general IN large places and all on ac-
count of the busy. rushing lives led in
place OF the leisure OF other years. The
desire TO open ones homo to others Will al
ways be a part OF every persons lie. Inc
time has only changed outwardly. 1t Is q
pity that it is so. but possibly best. for
many hours that used to be passed In visit
ing and gossiping can BIO turned to profit.
Women and men need personal contact TO
keep them polished. and that used 70 be
