For the Hostess.

good part of hospitality consists in
letting guests alone. The accomplished
hostess tries as far as possible to leave
the entertainment Of her guests in their
own hands, making it her duty to study
their preferences. She does not ask them
to arise at unusual hours to drive, walk
or play tennis, when they prefer perhaps
to read, write or do other things.
At English country homes visiting has
a certain system about it, Guests are
asked for certain number of days, and
they are expected to leave on the morn
ing Of the day the visit ends. In an Eng
lish home guest arriving after the
luncheon hour seldom sees the hostess
until tea is served or perhaps until the
diners assemble. A maid conducts the
guest to her room, serves tea or some
simple refreshment, and informs the new
conner Of the family dinner hour, etc
The American hostess manages her es-
tablishment In less ceremonious man
ner. She frequently drives to meet the
guest. and though she may have many
servants. often personally conducts a
friend to her room. Before the separa-
ton for the night the hostess informs her
guests that motors or horses will be a,
their disposal in the morning, and per-
maps arranges tennis or golf tourna-
ment for those who enjoy the sports
The mistress of the house. having many
demands upon her time, frequently likes
TO have the morning to herself, AMI she
arranges this with an easy mind wheu
she knows that the amusement of he,
guests has been provided for. Thus those
enjoying the hospitality of the house are
free to do as they please
On the other hand the guest has he,
part to play. Naturally she will not i'm.
trude herself upon her hostess privacy
nor upset the domestic ARRANGEMENTS h,
refusing to enter into any entertain.

Curing a Headache.

Those who have headaches must surely
know that something is wrong in their

cope with headache without knowing ex.
actly why he has the headache.
