NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-A hostess in Eng
land will write you a note of invitation re-
questing you to visit her for fixed length
of time. An American generally says,
"Come and stay with us for awhile" An
indefinite time usually results in an un-
satisfactory visit A specified time is i'm
measurably better for both hostess and
guest, as plans on both sides may be made
accordingly. .,-

ton Of hostess if a guest were to walk
into her bedroom unannounced, order a
special dish for some meal or interfere in
a family affair lust like one of the fam
lily"
The ever welcome guest Is one who
writes telling the day she will arrive. y

trunks contain all she could possibly re-
quire during her visit. The hostess has

the daughter, she naturally likes to give
her the remem brances, but if only enc
present can be afforded it is given to the
mother.
An accidental remark may show her
the abode of the family skeleton, but she
never betrays 1t by word or look. When
family discussions take place, she quietly
leaves the room. She always enters with
enjoyment into all amusenents provided
for her entertainment. She gains the good
will of the servants by always keeping her
room neat. No kind words of her hostess
can persuade her to put her linen in the
family laundry. She insists upon sending
it out. IN spite OF the much discussed
question of servant fleeing. and the plea
that it is an insult to a hostess, as it is
supposed 20 be- understood, she makes each
maid that has done her some service
gratuity. This sort OF guest is always
sure OF hearty welcome.
