In fashionable life the ethics OF hospitality and
the consideration which guests owe to their host
and hostess have been greatly modified that one
wonders where the ideas will lead to and
whether in the end there will be any mutual obi-
cation at all, such entire independence being the
order of the day at present A few years ago ii
seemed rather odd to od-fashioned notions that
invitations to dinner and other outside functions
should be accepted independently by both host and
hostess. and that invited guest could be left at
home without rudeness to eat a solitary dinner, if
he or she did not happen 70 be invited out But
now still further latitude is permissible, and il
really seems II ii could go further.
You know Mrs NJ was not home when
visited her" said a girl who had been off on a
weeks end house party
What do you mean?'' queried her companion.
Why" answered the other. she had an invita-
ton that she wanted to accept. she went off and
left US take of ourselves. Her mother was
