CONCERNING SOCIETY"

What we enjoy most in society is not
the God nor the surroundings. but the
people! A hostess must always bear
this in mind. She must remember also
to be gracious and cordial in her greet
ing, to make her guests feel that each
and all are welcome. She will try TO
have something pleasant to offer them,
something new and unsual or familiar
and therefore beloved. LIE her beware,
however, of long programs. In these
days of rapid movement, people seldom
like to be detained long. While the
present mania for cards endures, a
hostess is pretty sure of pleasing her
guests If she gives a bridge or progress
sive enchre party, which may be a very
informal affair. People who are adj
dicted to cards become so deeply inter-

CATCHING UP WITH ATHENS.

Once upon a time the citizens of a GER
tain city were greatly interested in the
nurture and training of children. When
the question arose as TO whether they
should build a great public school or
open a playground it was decided to
open a playground. Now, in tire course
of years. 1t came to pas that the citi-
|zens OF that city advanced 50 far be-
yond the rest of the human race, that in
all the centuries since, even to this day,
the nations that have gone on building
public schools and neglecting to open
Fairgrounds rave not been able to catch
up with them.-George E. johnson in

WISE ENTERTAINING.

The woman who is obliged to enter
tain very simply should be careful to
select a suitable time. Thus, If she
chooses very gay period. the height
of the summer or winter season or
Easter week, she is putting herself at
a disadvantages. She is coming into
competition with hostesses who can
offer a greater list of attractions than
she can. If Mrs. Smiths little lunch
is sandwiched IN between Mrs. Van
Diamonds wonderful entertainment
and Mrs. Sunburst's gorgeous dinner,
she seems to invite a comparison with
these sumptuous affairs, although very
likely she has no such intention in
reality. Her friends, too, will have
SO many engagements during the gay
season that another invitation will
only mean another burden. We want
to ask our friends at a time when it
will be agreeable to them to visit us.

you sell. When they wantsto sell, then
