What Makes True Hospitality.

"A born hostess can set her guests
down to graham crackers. jam and 4
cup OF coffee, or even cold water, and
so delightful may be the conversation,
so ready the wit, so kindly and SO
warm with genuine friendliness and
selfessncss the welcome that each
one might say: "With wheaton bread
was my spirit fed. Twas red wine
quaffed with my thirsty soul"
1t is not money, but individuality
that determines the success or fail
ure of the entertainer. That subtle
something which contributes to the
making of the truly hospitable hostess,
rests within herself and cannot be
measured by the wages that are paid
to her cook, or by the sum spent for
flowers or professional entertainers
