Very Fine Line Is Dra10n Between The Neglect
and Consideration of She Who Enfertab1s You

A fine line is that drawn between con-
sideration Of a hostess and neglect Of
her. To be always under the foot of the
woman in whose house one may be
staying is to render q guest decidedly
unpopular. and yet to keep away too
much is rude.
TIE exact conduct of guest must
necessarily be regulated by conditions.
An exacUing hostess requires more time
than one whose life is well filed and
who likes to have a few moments 10
herself ct intervals. No woman, wheth-
er hostess or guest, cares to be ignored,
and to prevent even the appearance Of
this is a matter about which a visitor
cannot be too careful.
4 woman who visits many weeks each
year has laid down for men a, general
line of conduct that works eXcellently,
although some times It must be varied.
When she is in a house where there are
plenty Of servants she does not go down
to breakfast, thereby relieving the host
psS OF ler presence at the time when
the head of the house may have many
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-07-25

things to attend to, or else may not
care TO see a visitor
Having taken this time to herself and
given her hostess a chance TO be alone,
The guest matcrializes about 10 o'clock
and hunts out the other in a sitting
room or other general meeting place.
II the hostess is not to be found. then
the friend concludes that she is busy.
and so with book or fancy work waits
until her hostess arrives. BY that time
it is taken for granted that household
arrangements have been made and that
the hostess time is free. The careful
guest watches to see if there are not
notes her friend wishes 10 write, and If
she thinks such is the case, she gives
The opportunity, either by going out o.
the room or asking her friend TO write
regardless of her presence.
BY the middle Of the morning there
viii probably be some special engage
ment for both, or else the two may sit
together and talk until lunch time. and
IN the afternoon there will certainly be
engagements.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-07-25

To these the visitor must conform
and If she has friends in the same city
who wish TO entertain her they viii be
expected to invite her hostess at the
same time. There may be conditions
under which a guest occasionally can be
asked without the hostess, but when
this happens the utmost care must be
to make up in some way, that the friend
shall not feel sighted.
When the same woman visits in a
house where the servants are few she
makes point Of getting up to break
fast except where she is urged not to
appear There are some women who
prefer that their visitors should not
breakfast with the family and Instead
send trays TO their rooms. This leaves
the hostess much freer as regards time
In the morning.
From the breakfast table the guest
says that she has few notes to write,
or book she intends looking at. or
any other good excuse that appears to
her 10 be good, and leaves her to her
own devices, that the hostess may have
time to attend % her affairs.
