sites. That's the greatest nonsense in the
world. What we want is sympathy not
contradicuon-some one who rides the
same hobbies as we do and who will canter
along al our sides. When we finally learn
to marry people who have the same reli-

cooking as we do ourselves The divorce
courts will make an assignment for lack
of business.
"A dinner engagement, no matter
whether the dinner be large or small, for
NAL or Informal, is the most exacting of
social obligations" writes Mrs. s. r.
Rorer in the February Ladies Home Jour
nal, Indeed, l always feel a double sense
of obligation when invited to a small din
ner. In selecting the guests for the small
dinner choose those who are congenial. IL
among your friends you number physi-
clans, lawyers or politicians do not invite
one of each class, nor all of one class, sim
ply because their professions are the same

must never forget that during the short
time her guests are under her roof she is

is a place where men are never bored for
the first hour, the insinuation that a
second would prove bore is rather prom
inent. If people in the ordinary walks of
life are TO make such entertainments a
success they must never try new or elabo-
rate dishes, or even new ways Of serving;
they should simply add an extra plate or
two to the usual number and invite their
friends.
