ES TIE WAY,
When hostess prepares an en-
tertainment and opens the portals of
her home to her friends it is but
seemly that these guests leave all
Individual affairs behind and enter
into the programme arranged for
their pleasure. No matter if the
rain does fall and stormy winds do
blow. and the matter of reaching
home psrplexed question, it is the
part of the guest to sit clamly until
the programme is finished; no mat
ter f she is torn with conf citing
ions, it is but etiquette that
ehe wait to take a courteous, easy
leave of her hostesst who has spared
no pains to prepare pleasure for her.

has to struggle with incompetent
help, IN unreliable market, out of
town tlorists, and other iuconven
fences, which, if 2 man had to con.
tend it'll, our social affairs would
be few and far between. But our
women, to give pleasure to others
and to wipe out social obligations,
merge themselves into cooks,
decorators and what not, and we
have no end of pretty functions.
But then YOU know a woman with
brains, nerve and energy can do
anything.
One of The rarest of social virtues
is TO make neither to much nor to
little of ourselves. The man who
bores is be who constantly talks of
himself, bis aft airs, travels, in
other words his own importance in
the world; and yet before some
people one must not speak with too
much modesty, they would be only
too happy to take you at your word
The safest way is to eschew per

If you canno, travel there is q
world of books in which to wander
then to mingle freely with the
people who form your own little
world is an education. Cultivate
them by making yourself agreeable,
and you will gain pleasure thereby,
and will also meet with many
pleasant surprises in finding people,
whom possibly you thought dis
agreeable, TO be most charming
friends. That has been my exper-
fence on several occasions, and

One day man who had been in the
theatrical business for years happened
to stand on q street corner in one of the
little towns near Mount Vernon and to
hear the child answering the questions.
"Here's find, said the theatrical
man, whose name is Cook in the Ian
guage that theatrical men use, and he
made a contract by which little Gertie
was to travel with him all over the
country and show to big audiences her
remarkable memory. Ever since last
Christmas the child has been on the
stage, answering all kind of questions
that mean nothing to her except that
she has been told some words to say
when certain words are said to her.
The everyday events of life remain as
steadfast in her memory as the statistics
and the names she repeats when before
an audience. She has been on the stage
for seven months and can tell every
