The Unwelcome Guest.

THE treatment Of the guest who
is neither expected nor welcome
is a matter which every host
ess must think Of, even II she
does not expect this unpleasant expert
ence TO be her own. When we speak Of
the unwelCome guest we mean the
really unwelcome guest. who is unde-
sirable even as an acquaintance, and
who forces a way into the house with
out seeming to care how much the
hostess may object. And besides this
Objectionable person. there is the blum
dering soul who rushes into the middle
OF card parties and luncheons to which
she has not been invited, and generally
becomes an ahliction to all who know
her

majority Of the first class are mascu-
line. while the latter are mostly femi-

desirable women and numbers of blum

prepared 10 face either Of these annoy

one afternoon the husband returned to
find the undesired guest In the drawing
room with his wife. and he felt that he
was in a position where he must either
accept the situation or take a decided
stand Yet it was his home. Could he
break the laws of hospitality? With
only a moments hesitation he stepped
forward. kissed his wife and, turning
toward the guest. said: I'm so sorry
you must go. May / hold your coat?"
This he took from the chair. and when
the astonisbed woman was ready he es-
corted her 10 her waiting carriage.
This Was really cleverly done, be-
