At Night.

At night the rose dreams of you,
bathed in kisses of the dew.
At night the Southern mockingbird Is
singing songs to YOU.
At night the breeze is whispering as
through the pines it sighs,
To help me tell my owe to you, some
how, sweetheart 1t tries.
And every star that studs the sky
That they are SO much DINNER than
the love-lit eyes of you.
Oh witchery OF woodland songs, oh
mystery of night,
You set a lovers heart abeat, a sweet
hearts eyes alight.
The lilies seem to whisper. but they
won't tell what they see.
And neither does the old owl from
the chinaberry tree.
At night, at night Is sweetheart time
when sweetheart VOWS we plight
It's grooming time and spooning time
At night, at night.

THE BEST HOSPITALITY.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Did you ever visit IN a house where
your hostess fused over you 10 such an
extent that you wished to goodness YOU
had never come? There are well-mean-
ing hostesses of that type. and they wear
their guest 10 frazzles before she has
been twenty-four hours in the house.
They ask every few minutes what they
can do: they fear you are not comfort
able, and they make you miserably con-
scious that your arrival has upset the
whole house.
Also-and this is the height OF bad
taste-they keep apologizing for the en-
tertainment offered
In the first place. never invite guest
to your house unless you genuinely want
her Forced hospitality is no compliment.
When the guest arrives. make her heart
fly welcome. and do not think that YOU
must SIT and entertain her every minute.
Remember that while she Is with YOU
her bedroom belongs to her. not TO YOU:
so never enter IT without knocking first.
Don't apologize for your table, nor FOR
anything In the house; give her the best
you can, and that Is all any one can do.
Make her understand your time IS at
her disposal. but don't force yourself on
her. Let her go 20 her room for an hour
or two in the afternoon II she cares TO
If she likes to have breakfast in her own
room. see that she has Il: II will give YOU
leisure 20 attend to your morning house

Don't fiji her ears with complaints OF

pleasant one It WIFI heighten the pleas
ure of ner visi. tenfOld
Don't let the children bother her: they
may be the marvels OF the age, TO you:
but she does not know their wonders. and
has come 10 visit you, not them.
Don't make her conscious that her COM
ing has changed the ordinary routine OF
your life.
I occasionally visit an old school friend
who fuses over me to such an extent
that I am sure she goes TO bed 70 recu-
perate after I am gone II she would be
content 20 let me enjoy her society. I
would have a delightful visit but she is
possessed to entertain me, and we are on
the go every minute.
II you want TO enjoy your guest and
have her enjoy her visit Just leave her
to herself. after you have made her thor
oughly welcome and at home
Don't make her wish she had not come
by fussing over her.
And don't let her have the horrible
feeling that you are spending moro on
her entertainment than you can afford.

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

Dainty women spend great deal OF at
tention on table appointments, and cen
terpieces are popular bits Of work during
the summer holidays. No table Is COM
plete without its embroidered piece OF
linen with a few flowers or a pot OF
ferns. Few housewives consider them
selves well of without a luncheon set
and a number of stray pieces for the
serving tray and the plates on which
the finger bowls rest The making OF
these Is a labor OF love, generally
It is not wise to attempt much fancy
work when the eyes are not strong. but
a bit can be always kept on hand for
spare moments, and the results are as
tonishing. One of the prettiest luncheon
sets ever saw was made OF natural
color linen with deep scallops in white.
There were eight plate doilies. sixteen
smaller ones for cups and saucers and
bread plates. and a centerpicce thirty
six inches across. No amount OF wash
ing could affect It. That was intended
for a room in yellows with weathered
oak furniture but do not see why the
same idea could not be carried out in
blue or green linen for rooms in those
colors.
For mahogany furniture there is moth
Ing like the English eyelet embroidery
through which glimpses Of the beautiful
wood can be seen. For simpler rooms
there are lovely damask sets with dainty
satiny patterns. the edges finished with a
scallop done in white linen. These look
better after passing through the laundry
and are used by women OF taste and
sense who viii not put time and nerve
force into embroidery. Busy housewives
have little spare time which Is best spent
in recreation.
saw an odd luncheon set made with
honlton braid outlined with few stitches
in what is known as Kenslngton work
II merely consisted of alternating long
and short stitches. II was novel and
pretty and very easy 20 make, as the
linen was cut away under the braid and
the outline stitches protected the raw
edge. Any woman who can WELD a
needle can make any Of these articles.
The possessor OF a simple little summer
cottage reconciled her taste for refine
ment and the surroundings OF the place
