A year later aipuny little girl came,
and the mother divided her time be-
tween the child and her devotions. The
infant speedily developed into bouncing

The Problem Of Combining Hospi-

limitations IF her purse. Sometimes ap-
palleo by ella borate menus and costly ia BILE

small income she cannot compete with her

Sometimes a wife settles down into
dreary, domestic routine, honestly be-
lieying that until her husbands fina noes
improve there is no other course for her
to pursue. In this matter, as in many
others concerning home life, the false
standard of money obtains, IA tiIer tha the
simple law Of common sense Tie very
fact that many people can afford Ella borate
entertainments does not imply that they
cannot enjoy simple ones.
Novelty is the charm OF life. as variety
is its spice, and very often the guests who
come from luxurious homes are the most
easily pleased. Competent house keepers
are generally the most generous in their
estimates of the efforts Of others, and the
young house wife who, through fear OF
criticism, refuses ito invite her richer or
more experienced friend to her home is
simply cheating herself OF much pleasure.
