THE DUTIES OF A GUEST.
where the Social Obligation Begging
and How 1t Should Be
Discharged

We live in an age of good breeding,
an atmosphere of kindly courtesy
and tactful manners, and yet any
hostess who had the slightest ex-
perience has sometimes wished that
she might draw up a code of laws
for the conduct of guests.
A guests obligation begins with
the reception of the invitation. It
should be either readily and cour-
teously accepted or promptly and
courteously declined, says Woman's
Home Companion.
Nothing is more trying to the pa
thence of the hostess and to the tenn
per of the cook than a belated din
ner guest. Perhaps no invitation,
once accepted, should be more strict
ly kept than this one to dine. A guest
should be at the hostess house five
minutes before the hour appointed,
and, to use another's expression:
Nothing but death should hinder"
We should go to any function re-
solved to be entertaining and easily
entertained. An appreciative, re-
sponsive, animated guest lifts part
of the possibility from a hostess.
If our dinner partner bores us we
can pretend to be interested, and
thus show our good breeding, and
compliment both him and our host.
