How to Keep Boarders Who Pay

prize winner in a recent contest held
by the Chicago Tribune secured SIS for the
following bits of advice to boarding house
neepers:
Be particular as TO whom you let into
your house. An empty room is better
than a room too full.
Don't keep a boarding house IL you are
not good housekeeper.

Quality is what counts Poor food and
poor pay are twin brothers.
One clean napkin is not a Joy forever.
Change II now and then.
:, You can't afford to feed the man who
\ rant afford to pay.
Make your guests your friends Don't
have guests whom you would not like for
friends.
Set a standard. Don't fall below It
yourself or let your guests rise above It,
Little attentions bring big results.
Dirt is no friend of yours
You must know good food and you must
buy IT,
There is plenty of room at the top. II
is easier to please a $50 man than a 81
man-if you know how
Remember your boarders have feelings
Don't let them forget that you have also
Give good service and take good rewards
Create a home atmosphere II you have
to break up your home to do 1t.

yet nothing is more elusive or more

it we can hardly hope to achieve it,
for charm is a gift of the fairy god
mother one of the most precious Of
her gifts and one of the rarest. Youth
and even health vanish with the pass

often fly away; beauty, we know, IS

If, however, We cannot get the vital
spark, the real thing, We can still
have nice, pleasing manners. Of
course those who are born and bred
in a certain atmosphere know instinc-
lively what to do and what to leave

she would say that she does not
choose; that the unpleasant neces-
