Hostess Sorry She Tipped Her Soup Plate
20 Mako q Guest Comfortable.
Washington Post: Once upon time
there was a woman whose husband
became suddenly rich-so rich that So
ciety in the provincial town where she
belonged was not by any means ele-
giant enough for her. She had two
pretty daughters, who were so pos
sessed of the national gift Of adapta-
bility that after year or two at a
fashionable school they were quite pre-
sentable. The family came to Wash
ington. Society took no notice Of them
till a great lady who had once lived in
their home town took pity on them
and invited the three-nobody so far
as l knew has ever seen the fourth
member of the family. the father-to
dine. The mother was frankly impos-
sible, and In spite of the previous
coaching of her daughters. she-well.
she did everything but eat with her
knife. She ate her oysters with O
spoon and when the soup came in 1t
pleased her SO that to have the last
few spoonfuls she tilted her place. One
of the daughters gave a warning
cough, caught mammals eye and sent
her an awful look. Mamma turned
purple. The hostess saw the look and
the blush. OF course you know what
she did. You know what the tradi-
tional hostess did when guest broke
Sevres cup. You know what the
hostess in stories always does. This
one was but true to tradition. She de-
liberately tilted her own plate and
scooped up the last drop Of her soup.
Mamma looked relieved, and the host
ess hardly dared put on her bonnet
for days after that for fear Of getting
it tangled on the rays Of her halo.
Nearly a year afterward she heard Of
the act Of kindness again. A friend
told her. The friend had met mamma
and the two young girls at the springs.
They had speedily discovered that they
all knew the great lady.
II think she is the most perfectly
well-bred woman in Washington"
said the friend. Don't your"
The young women hesitated.
"She has such exquisite Manners"
went on the friend. 1T have never
seen her commit the slightest mis-
take"
"Oh. she has very pleasant man
ners," assented the elder Of mammals
daughters. but she didn't strike me
as being always quite-well, CONNIE il
faut, you know. She does rather odd
things at table, II you'll notice. OF
course, she's a dear, sweet woman
but, really. she ought not to tip up
her soup plate to get the last spoonful,
you know"
And that's what the great lady got
for trying to live up to tradition. You
can fancy what she said when she
heard of 1t.
