Making Good at Week Ends

TT is often a surprise to who has enjoyed the
generous easy going hospitality of the South and
West. to be hidden to country house from four
o'clock Friday afternoon to half-past ten the
following Monday morning. Even then the guest
will find that for what seems to him grudging
hospitality he will be expected to make good in one
way another, either by playing good game of
whist with the elders by teaching the youngsters
the latest coon songs, or perhaps by cracking few
tain to be received with manifestations of keen
delight; provided they sprung on the company
late enough in the day. for it is not until the crepus
cuar shades begin to gather that the English mind
yields itself readily to the wooings of humor.
The guest who fails to render equivalent for his
board and lodging is not likely to be asked again;
but he who pays for his footing either in the way
that have indicated in some other social coin of
the realm is likely to be deluged with many in
vitatons that he will imagine England land over
flowing with the milk and honey of generous hos
pitality. He will soon learn, however, that little
food and drink is given to any save those who make
fitting return. One guest is asked because he can
sing, and another because he is clever at private
theatrcals, and still another because he has a
yacht a grouse Even those vapid and dull
Britons who will not even take the trouble to talk
unless fully aroused pay for their footing in the only
coinage that always commands premium at the
social mint-that of aristocratic connections.

THE American who visits England has many
surprises in store and not the least of these is
l. the thrifty Dutch treat" which takes the
place of the ndiscrminate and senseless iberality
of his native land, and whose ramihcations extend
through every grade of English life. A superficial
reveals what looks like prodigous and generous
hospitality but it will not be long before the visitor
learns that AN eye for an eye and chop for a
chop" is the rule, and it is only when some lavish
American or Australian, or some newly enriched
Briton, seeks to advance himself socially by means
of costly entertainments, that it is ever deviated
from. Even in such extreme cases as these it is
highly interesting and instructive to see how much
effort and money be expended and how little
received in return.

Where They Get in Their Work

TDECLARE that in all Our modern civilization there

treat be entered upon statute books as law.
and this wretched story telling will perish from the

called in all places where the drinks twenty
cents, is speeches. when taken from his favorite
environment. We have only to take him to ceme-
terry, give him glass of ice water, and ask him if
he hasn't heard good lately, to realize how
utterly hollow he is and how vain and pitiful his
pretentions to fame wit.
Still another vice which has been largely developed
by treating though the habit not entirely respon-
sble for it. is that unnatural form of gaiety which
manfests itself whenever the drinks and cigars
in sight, through the medium of throat laugh.
a mechanical smile, and forlorn assumption of
jollity Professional geniality of this sort exists
chiefly in those circles into which visiting foreigners
find it so easy to gain access and is largely respon
sible for the reputation that we have gained an
insincere people, smiling and telling stories to conceal
our villainy.
And let it be said as a final argument in favor of
the Dutch treat that there is no such thing as a
free drink in this country. They can be bought in
bar rooms for prices that range from five cents
to five times that amount which is the lowest cost
at which they may be had. When accepted at the
hands of even the harmless and well meaning prod
igal they must be paid for in time. an assumption
of cheeriness, abundant laughter at bad Jokes and
an amount of personal fattery that would be cheap
at five dollars.

called the treating habit, and dramatically opposed
to the Dutch treat, is more wide spread; and it
begets great many evils not the least of which is the
story telling habit, on which, shameful as is the con-
of humorists rests. In the lands where the Dutch
treat prevails, story telling is harmless and

of the table, how his cousin Lord x enjoying
the season.
In the social system that is founded on such exact
ideas of barter and exchange, it is not strange that
the Dutch treat should be held in high favor.
The visiting American is at first inclined to sheer
at the way in which the cost of little excursions,
those in which the wealthy take part divided
up so that each man and each woman bears just
share But the chances that in due time he will
fully recognize the value of the scheme, if only for
the salutary lesson that it teaches to the chronic
sponge, parsonage who hourishes side
of the water in vast numbers, infinite variety, and
matchless quality.

his presence
The Treating Vice
TN Our own country personal iberality is likely to
degenerate into the treating habit, vice which
hourshes here in innumerable forms, ranging from
the coal stock, money brides, and costly dinners
given by lobbyists promoters, high hnanciers, and
other persons with axes to grind, down through the
various stages of free railroad transportation, wine
opening cafe hospitality, and barroom civilities
to the glass of hard cider or applejack which the
rustic eagerly consumes at the expense of the vote
seeking politician. In rare instances treating
springs from motives of genuine hospitality or kind
illness; but generally it is merely expression of
cunning avarice or that shamefaced vanity which
at economy and halls the spender as the
prince of gentlemen
And it is this deporable custom of giving things for
nothing with malevolent Interior purpose that has
bred in our own country that nnumerable army OF
getting have recently been forced upon the attention
of amazed and disguised world Grafters we have,
