Returns for Hospitality.

Hy publishing some interesting Conclu-
eions in the London Mail, Mrs. TWeedic
has started Il spirited controversy. She
obtained her facts by cross-qucstioning
English and American girls and talking
with their man friends. She wanted to
find out Are Englishmcn more selfish
in their attentions to women than their
American brothers, and do American
women demand more OF men they know
than their sisters in the Kings coun-
try
Her conclusions state that Fnglishmen
are sadly remiss, due perhaps to the fact
that English girls expect so little of
them and that American girls had long
since wisely decided not to waste hospi-
tality upon men who would not make
some returns The New York Tribune
has kept watch on the semi-humorous
replies which young men in London have
sent to Mrs. Tweedie. They retOrt that
no English girl would ever expect Il man
to take her riding in the park, send her
flowers and candy and buy her boxes at
the theater, Their fathers are usually
willing to supply entertainment for the
girls and the young men they choose To
honor. They assert that this is as it
should be, and the American girl who
makes her hospitality contingent on it's
being returned really loses in the end
Other Englishmen say they wish they
coulu relieve themselves Of the feeling of
social liability in as easy a way, for as
ii is they suffer under it and have no
hope Of ever getting even.
In turn the American girl Indignantly
denies that she expects pay for hospital
ity. Hospitality with strings to il Is

Cultivate Tidinesc.

There is an exquisite charm about a
neatly dressed woman. She does not
wear her hair loose, as if it is just about
to fall on her shoulders, writes Modes.
Her gloves are not ripped at the seam,
nor are any buttons missing from her
boots. Her veil does not reveal a hole
over her chin, nor does the binding Of
her skirt show ragged in places. NOT
many women show their tidiness in these
details. but the well-groomed woman
considers that neglect in these little
things is full of shame to womankind.
Nte the well-dressed tailor-built wom-
AMI Her cloth gown fits her without Il
crese. and there is neither speck nor
spot on it. Her linen collar and cuffs
are ipowy white, and remain properly
hXedin their places. Her gloves do not
wrinle, but button smoothly over her
wrists Her shoes are dainty and pol
ished.{ Her bonnet or hat is pinned on
straight, and her hair is ncatness itself.
She is the picture of delicate finish and
wholesome order. Would that we could
come across her somewhere oftener.
