WOMAN AS A SOCIAL SUCCESS
Tact, that Rare Quality, Contrib
utes More Than Any
thing EIses

There is no quality more to be desired to
make a woman a social success than that
OF tact It's possessor knows the right thing
to do and the right time for doing IT and
thus gains a reputation for celeverness
and for many virtues which a tactless
person would never win from her circle
Of acqaintances, no matter how excellent
her qualities Of both heart and head
The tactful woman is not only a patient
listener, but she is a thoroughly good
one She shows no WEAKNESS even when
she has heard the same story more than
once from the same person, and she smiles
in the right place, and appears to enjoy
hearing jokes as much as her companion
enjoys telling them, says sWoman's Life
A tactful woman generally gets ner own
way with her husband, and with other
people, and yet in such a manner that
people always suppose that they are fol-
lowing their own and not her inclinations
The fact is that she knows when a man is
approachable and likely to be amenable
to her wishes and when it is best 10 leave
him alone Tact is a weapon guided with
a multitude of precautions and feminine
wiles, by the wise woman, and 1t is only
the wise who possess It.

LITTLE THINGS TO REMEMBER
Points of Etiquette that Help Make
the WeII-Mannered Person
Popular.

II is courteous to shake hands with a
guest in your own house and many host
esses repeat the hand shaking when he
leaves.
II is only necessary to bow an acknowl-
edgement Of an introduction, though shak-
ing hands is cordial and not considered old
fashioned as formerly.
A girl or younger woman should rise
when an elder woman enters the room
and remain standing until she is seated.
1t Is customary to rise to receive a
guest whether It be man or woman.
The well bred girl is thoughtful of the
comfort Of older women She sees when
her handkerchief has fallen and restores
it, quietly shuts out draft. or brings a
footstool
These attentions must not be obtruslvs
or the older woman is annoyed II makes
her feel as If you thought her decrepit II
given quietly they are appreciated and the
girl is liked for her good manners.
Do not be too defereutial TO an older
person. She win like nothing better than
for you to act as IL Of one age-provided
you never grow rude or smarty In your
manner.
Never omit the courteous note or call
