TRUE HOSPITALITY.

| II Consists i'm a,ettng Guests DO as They
Desire.
| Have we mot all, at some time in
our life, accepted an invitation to a
! certain house, and upon our arrival
and until the return to our own home
been absolutely worried to death by
| the imporJunitieS Of an overZealOuS
| hostess who was so anxious for our
comfort and enjoyment that she did
| not leave Us one minute to do as we
felt inclined ourselves.
Before we CaMe she had planned
rides and drives, ,theater parties, calls
and dances. all s9f which we were ex-
pected to take part in, regardless OF
our own feelings or desires. The
| mistake was made in all kindliness,
yet it failed in its effect, and instead
of our having an enjoyable time, we
felt as though VIC were a waXwork
figure trottcd out daily for inspec-
ton.
Now, the secret OF true hospitality
is to adapt yourself to the whimS and
inclinationS of your guests rather
than mapping out liked program
that they are expected to follow to
the letter. If they enjoy reading,
let them revel in the library; if i'll
health or fatigue keeps them in their
room, do not annoy them by over
attention, yet show kindly consid-
Grafton that viii prove they are not
forgotten.
II the hostess suggests anything
that the guest has no desire to par
ticipate in, the refusal should be re-
ceiyed graciouSly. and no show of dis
appointment or ill-humor displayed.
When the time comes for departure
it is decidedly rude to urge longer
stay. though there need be no lack Of
hospitality in the adieu and kindly
wishes that speed the parting guest.
In every particular let the desire of
the visitor be Of paramount impor-

THE fleets of all the world are wit
ness to the revolution wrought in
naval ships by the American moni-
Tor. All the naval powers were
quick to see and adopt the armor
idea, and they have ever since been
engaged in rebuilding their navies,
while we have been content to wit
ness the results Of their experiments
until it was necessary for us to re-
build our own navy. We waited
wisely. The great guns, many weig h
ing 40 tons, with which England
and other nations armed their mon
ster ships, are now declared by a.
miral Hornhy to be failures. He
says moderate slzed guns Of about
twenty-five tons each are the best.
This is another American idea, de-
yeloped in our new navy. Our new
naval steel guns, long and compare
lively light, are undoubtedly the
best in the world.
