| bolt Bull street was unusually quiet
/ and uneVentful and the whole town had
! an air of something better going

| bevies of girls enthusiastic over the race,
! dancing, glare and sandfies constitute a
regatta to the landlubber To those
| interested it is an exciting pleasure to see

1t seems to be a popular custom in
northern cities for the hostess to have her
own individual corner of the drawing
room from which point she can overlook
the guests as they come and go. If she
| leaves her chair, no one takes it. This
gives her guests an idea as to where she
can always be found. Each one can get a
few minutes individual conversation with
the hostess. This custom comes from
across the water, from the salons oil
Paris for instance For it is peculiarly
the American hostess who fits about her
rooms as if she belonged nowhere, but
everywhere. She does not wait for hel
guests to find her out, she finds them out

guests.
