THE SUCCESSFUL HOSTESS.

You may have dinner with the
best appointment and cuisine. and If
your guests are badly chosen the din
ner will be social failure.
Certain elements will not codiesce
and the woman who tries to force
the process is counting an explosion
Choose guests as you would shoes
because they Mt
You may be catholic in your tastes
and enjoy the butterfly without a brain
and the woman who is all brain with
out social grace. the artist or musician,
the snob who distrusts all the clever
cotorie, the man who loves a gay story
and the woman who is easily shock ed.
But gather those friends around a
common board and you may count on
their boredom.
Never seat your guests according to
social position The practice makes
neither the dinner nor the hostess
popular. If you put the socially I'M
important together your entertaining
will never be a success
Custom has 1t that those who sit
on the right and left of the host and
hostess may feel themselves singled
out for attention. but choose for rea-
sons. Do not give your guests a
chance to gibe at you as a money wor-
shipper or one with an axe to grind.
Do not have dinners so large as to
prevent general conversation Not all
who go out to dinners 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 course
Is past The most brilliant diner out
finds II hard to shine when eating
through an overiaborate menu.
Learn the art OF switching the con-
versation. Many a dinner is wrecked
because the hostess does not know how
TO stop an argument that is verging
on controversy and has not the social
sense to scent dangerous topics or side
track the bore.
Encourage brflliancy and gayety.

Crown Point. Ind, Aug. 13.-The

Lemons az Toilet Article.

Nearly every woman uses a lemon
in her toilet preparations. For remov-
ing stains or freckles or bleaching a
neck made yellow by high collars there
is nothing better. Only very little
lemon is needed at one time. To keep
a lemon from drying up and becoming
useless place 1t under an ordinary
glass tumbler on the toilet stand and
1t will not wither and dry out.
