Women complain a good deal about
the egotism and rudeneHs OF young
men. but the facts prove that the
men are scarcely to be blamed for
their attitude. Hosiesses. eager for
a good masculine showing at their
social functions. ask men without
making any attempt to satisfy
themselves as TO their proposed
guests desIrability. An English
man comments rather sharply on
this custom OF American hostesses.
Women" he says. take the man.
ners out OF the men they criticize.
As for social negligence. last season
received more than a dozen cards
for functions from hostesses whom
did not know. and who did not know
me. II women allow shoals Of
young men whom they do not know
TO be invited 10 their houses, they
