is especially at this time of the year

to be no way out of a difficulty which
alike besets hostess and guests, says
the London World. Hospitality Is
bought at price in these days. for the
new order renders it possible to open
the doors of every great house with
golden keys, provided that they arc
heavy enough and are attached tc
massive chains; and when guests In
clude millionaires of transatlantic and
oriental extraction, how is it possible
for hostesses to exercise any controi
over the tipping system? The re
suit is that everybody is mulcted alike
The poor must follow the lead of the
rich, and in consequence 1t often be
comes as great a difficulty f1r men and
women of better social than financial
status, to accept Invitations as to stay
at expensive hotels. Yet how Is re
form to be Instituted? This is so
clal difficulty that 1t seems impossible
to overcome. but at the same time II
is orr which stands In the way OF
many agreeable people of both sexes
WHO dare not In existing e'rcdn
Stances accept invitations, even where
they feel they would be most welcome,
and wnore delightful time would
await them.
