SUCCESS FOR HOSTESS
LITTLE MATTERS IN WHICH TACT
COUNTS FOR MUCH.
Choose Your Guest as You Would
Shoes, Because They Ft-Learn
the Art of Switching the
Conversation.

You may have dinner with the
best appointment and cuisine, and II
your guests are badly chosen the din
ner will be social failure.
Certain elements will not coalesce,
and the woman who tries to force the
process is counting an explosion.
Choose guests as you would shoes
because they fit.
You may be catholic in your taste
and enjoy the butterfly without
brain and the wo2San who is all brain
without social grace. the artist or
musician, the snob who distrusts all
the clever coterie, the man who loves
a gay STORY and the woman who IS
easily shocked.
But gather those friends around a
common board and you may count on
their boredom.
If you must have mixed dinner,
pray for tact in the seating. "A man
cares what he eats, woman cares
whom she sits next"
Never seat your guests according TIC
social position. The practice makes
neither the dinner nor the hostess
popular. If you put the socially unim-
portant together, your entertaining
will never be a success.
Custom has it that those who sit on
the right and left of the host and host
ess may feel themselves singled out
for attention-but choose for reasons.
Do not give your guests a chance to
gibe ut you as money worshipper or
one with an axe to grind.
Do not have dinners so large as to
prevent general conversation. Not all
who go out to dinner are blessed with
manners, and the hostess should have
it in her power to go to the rescue of
the guest who is neglected by her
neighbors.
Nor should your dinners be long or
heavy. The day of dozens of courses
is past; the most brilliant diner-out
finds it hard to shine when eating
through an over-elaborate menu
Learn the art of switching the con-
versation. Many dinner is wrecked
because the hostess does not know
to stop an argument that is verging
on controversy, and has not the So
cial sense to scent dangerous topics
or sidetrack the bore.
Encourage brilliancy and gayety,
but keep a sharp watch for wit that
stings and jokes that tend to license.

VALUABLE LITTLE SWEET BOX
Is Easily Made and Its Usefulness
viii Commend 1t to the
Housekeeper.

A "sweet box has become an insti-
tuition in our family. 1t consists of a
stout cardboard box, lined with a
sheet of wadding generously sprinkled
with a favorite sachet powder. The
wadding is glued over the top edge,
thus making the cover fit tightly. Il
contains two or three loose, very
sweet sachets. Any little gift or bit
of work, if laid away for a day or
two in the sweet box with sachet
between it's folds, comes out delicious
ly perfumed. All through the year we
find many things are sweetened that
would not be, were it necessary to
hunt up or buy sachet powder each
time.

PREACHER REHEARSES

archdeacon stepped, still clad in his
canonicals, into the coffin, which stood
on end, and the glass cover was fixed
in front of him. Carried only breast
high by the four bearers, so that all
might see, the coffined ecclesiastic was
gravely borne up and down the church.
AS it passed seat after seat the startl-
ed parishioners gazed spellbound at
the spectacle. Some of them were so
overcome that they sobbed; others,
knowing their rector's amiable idosyn-
crasies, giggled half Historically, while
others, shocked at the mockery of
death, fled from the church.

SKYMAN SAVES
DROWNING CHILD

THOMPSONVILLE, Conn, Feb. l.
What is believed to be the first rescue
from drowning by aeroplane occurred
mile south of this village and the
circumstances surrounding the rescue
were most spectacular.
Dora Pease, 6-year-old child, living
in small cottage on the banks of the
Connecticut river while returning from
kindergarten stopped few minutes to
watch men harvesting ice on the river.
Her childish curiosity aroused she
crept to the open space in the river,
below the ice cutters, who did not
notice her.
Two large cakes of ice attracted her
attention, and seating herself upon
them the little one began to amuse
herself by propelling them along the
smooth surface of the frozen river
In Deadly Peril.
Suddenly the ice cutters were arous-
ed by a loud splash and a childs
screams, and were Mortified to see the
girl seated on an ice cake floating
rapidly down the river toward the En-
field Falls, fifty feet away. An attempt
to rescue the child by means of a long
rope failed Several of the men ran
along the banks Of the river, and one
of them, throwing off his heavy boot.
sprang after her.
The cold water forced him to aban- :
den the attempt, however, and in a |
few minutes the child was within a |

The attention of the stricken
men was detracted from the child in
her perilous position by a whirring
