asking that his weather man give
us a few showers for the benefit
of our corn, so the prosperity
howlers may claim a big crop for
the administration?

TIE ART OF ENTERTAINING.

The house itself may be helpful in
making visitors feel at home We should
have nothing too fine for comfort. and
welcome our friends in rooms made
homelikc by our daily use
1t is well to have easy rules about
breakfast. / is customary to give ones
guests the option Of having tea or cot
fee, rolls and fruit sent 10 their rooms
or Of joining the family.
No hostess apologies for any guest
All are on the same social plane while
under her roof, and should receive equal
consideration.
1t Is II disputed point whether host or
guest should suggest retiring for the
hlght. 1t relieves visitors of embIrrasS-
ment to know the ways of the household,
ana a readiness to comply with them is a
mark OF politencsS.
1t shows no lack Of cordiality to re-
fraln from urging friends to extend their
visit They probably have other pleas
ant plans. ana hostess may be asking Il
great favor when she fancics that She
is comforting one.
Experienced entertainers recommend
that the men should generally spend
their mornings together and women en-
10y each others society. All meet at
luncheon.
Hosts and guests meet in the draw
ing or living room before the meals

breeding,
