SOCIAL AMENITIES FOR
THE SCHOOL GIRL

You show your girl guest all sorts of
little attentions, also, for your desire is
to make her comfortable in every way
as well as give her good time. If any
little differences of opinion arise between
You during her stay, gracefully give way
to her, remembering that this courtesy
is required of you in your role of hostess.
If any of your plans for her enjoyment
90 awry, as sometimes even the best laid
plans do, do not fret and fuss about it,
for this only adds to the general disap-
pointment and makes every one in the
house uncomfortable.
In inviting guests, whether old or young,
it is now the fashion to state definitely
the length of the visit. They are asked
from such a day to such a day, and in
replying to the invitatio should in the
note of acceptance repeat the dates given
by the hostess, so that there is no mis-
understanding 1t is etiquette for the
guest TO prepare to leave OIL the day as
Signed, but if asked to remain longer
and it is her inclination, it is quite proper
for her to do so. She should not, how
ever, be urged, for here again, as is
usual when urging comes into play, one
is treading on delicate ground.
If your girl friend thinks she must go
when her time is up do not try to keep
her, but look forward to her coming
again. 1t is immensely tactful to 'speed
the parting guest" but if you urge her
to stay when she shows a disposition to
go you make her extremely uncomforta-
