The Art Of Being
o. a s:::s Agreeable 3, e As:.s'ss
BY Adelaide
Gordon

! For my own part, 7 like and enjoy
what the sc0rnfully superior and often
stupidity selfish individual calls "parlOs
tricks
When the mother Of a really nice. but
neither beautiful nor rich girl asked
my advice in the social training Of her
daughter, I promptly replied: Teach
heT some drawing room accomplish
ments- II she is not musically inclined,
let her learn how to recite with dainty
charm the sweet and gay verses of our
minor poets. Austen. Dobsen. Henley.
Scotland, etc. Perfect her in the art of
playing the best kind OF a hand at any
drawing room game of cards. telling
fortunes, delineating character. or read
ing aloud even in a finished style.
1T does not make a great deal Of diff
ference what she learns to do, provided
she does the thing well and in the right
spirit, for it is the desire 70 be kind
and to contribute something to the hap
piness Of others that makes the ire
sistibly attractive guest"
Your Fellow Guests.
You may not Ike Mrs. Jones; Mr..
Brown, perhaps. has been UnfOrgivably
rude. and Miss Robinson appears to be
"A dowdy and doubtful-looking person;
but if you find them assembled at the
table of Mrs Blank, treat them, one
tesy. You owe this to Mrs. Blank: Just
as you owe her consideration for her
fine china and glass
More than this, you know, or you
ought to know, that your hostess
friends are persona grata to you just
as long as they are under her roof,
whatever enmity you may cherish for
them outside, and that you insult her
ia neglecting one of them. To illus
trate my meaning shall rehearse a lit
tie scene, enacted before my eyes in a
New York drawing room, by a man and
woman who considered their host and
hostess before themselves. By their
charming tact and really self-sacrific-
ing grace Of manner. they saved a try
ing hour and carried off triumphantly
a situation that might have proved dis
tTessing in the extreme.
Both guests in this case We're new
acquaintance Of the hostess. who was
unaware that. while they bore different
names, they had once been man and
wife. So innocent was she Of the
knowledge of their true rela tonship
that she introduced the divorced couple
and sent them in to the dinner table to-
gether.
Without a moments embarra ssing
hesitation or a word of explanation, the
gentleman bowed, smiled and offered
the lady mis- arm; with equal grace and
seeming good humor, the lady accepted
the temporary truce, and went in to
dinner Not until a year afterward,
when the estranged couple were recon
ciled and remarked, did the hostess OF
that dinner party know how unselfish-
ly her guests had sacrificed themselves
to spare her discomfort, even for one
evening.

Yes, I'm of an inquiring mind;

Or even wore smoked glasses for mg

At present no bum optic gives me grief
And consequently many things ] find
Put up a front that seems TO be the Chief
But an the same proves pretty punk

Likewise there's many cloudy Outsides
That they're with sterling Bryan metal
lined
There are some guys who want to know
y'kmoW
And rubber freely-and I'm of that Kind
I've heard that things are seldom what
And I've concluded that's no laundry
dream.
This thing OF butting in amt called well
You want to give crowd the CLASSY
And chassey right along. but. on the
dead.
A crowds the one thing that I can't
pass by.
Il may be one guys punched another's
Or some street fabir's pumping out hot
air.
An ambulance a fire-bUt, as I said.
I've got TO stop and take il in for fair

I'll get dog and a tin cup. Instead
OF looking round and using up my eyes

the doctors orders are your excuse.
you have no right TO accept a dinner
invitation and refuse che major p0r-
ton Of the viands set before you.
The victim Of strange tastes and &C.
centric prejudices in food Is never a
welcome guest and. while the hostess
Ia such circumstances may be too civil
70 call attention TO your seeming dis
taste FOR her dishes she is none the less
keenly alive TO your neglect, and hurt
by It.
There is a story told Of Julius Caesar,
VINO, great man as be was, observed in
detail as a guest the most scrupulOus
courtesy in his treatment OF his host.
The art, indeed, by which he rendered
himself socially most delightful to men
was medium through which he con-
quered his enemies as often as by force
OK arms
At a Roman dinner party, where
Caesar was a guest. 10 happened that
rancid butter was served by mistake.
The host, not aware Of its condition,
was covered with confusion when one
Of his guests refused it; another tasted
the unfortunate bGtter and made 2 very
WY face, while a third openly and
loudly complained. When, however,
the dish was passed to Caesar, the con-
Querer Of Gaul and Germany. Great
Britain and Egypt, calmly helped him
had been honey from Hymettus hill.
Tradition sayeth not. but my private
conviction is that the host of that din
ner party must have been ever after
the fast friend and frank admirer Of the
man, who, uucrOwned emperor as he
then was. could show such exquisite
consideration for his host, and such
prompt obedience to the very best and
highest laws Of etiquette.
A Gracious Gift.
Happy IS the social fate Of that man
or woman who can master a trying sit
uation by dint of self-sacrificing calm
OF demeanor. 1t is a gracious gift in
the guest who can and viii smile in the
face Of trying circumstance. No mat
ter if the clumsy servant spills SOUP
on your pretty evening gown, if there
is cry Of fire, or a serious accident
befallen the dessert, you can earn the
everlasting gratitude Of your hostess
and the pleasant envy of your fellow
guests by maintaining a satisfying and
infectious cOmpOsure.
Should you, by chance, turn over the
claret pitcher keep your wits about
YOU; offer an apology, and then talk Of
something else. Never notice errors or
shortcomings in the management Of the
entertainment and do not report them
elsewhere when they have occurred.
If you are asked to sing or play for
the delectatiOn Of any company, give
your song or sonata readily, and an en-
core, il that is insisted upon. DO not
wait to be begged for an exhibition Of
your talents
1t is a species Of beautiful unselfsh-
ness to be able to contribute to the
pleasure Of others. and to the man or
woman who knows how to do things in
a sweet and ready spirit belongs the
rich spoils of many nice Invitations and
much attention that is complimentary.
