answered Immediately. so that your
friends can make arrangements for

seeing the person you have come to
meet or to have a guest arrive Just In
the middle OF meal, when everything
Is cold and consequently not what they
would wish 20 offer you.
When expecting a friend on n visit
the hostess should always try and ar
range TO so herself to the station to.
welcome her guest. II the traveller has
come long way or has not seen her
friend for some time this is especially
appreciated, as when the visitor alights
from the train and sees the well known
face again she will feel much more
welcome and at home than IL she has
to find her way TO the house alone.
II the length OF the visit has been
mentioned lis the invitation it is best
not TO run the risk OF outstaylng your
welcome, but 90 leave at the end OF the
period first stated. as. although your

assistance 10 them. but don't on any
account get in the way, and when you
have nothing better 90 do YOU are sure

have thoughtfully been provided by the
hostess. or you can employ the time by
writing your letters. Although You Will

note paper. IL Is always best TO provide
yourself with "a. ana also with sewing
materials. which may be required.
IL is usually the object OF the hostess
10 give her guest the best Of everything

ment and her guest cannot show her
appreciation or this better than by
praising the cooking and being bright
and entertaining I'm her turn. SO that
she makes herself n welcome visitor
