say TO the friend who happened IN
near meaitime, stay to dinner We
felt that our guests came to see US
not TO see how handsomely we could
entertain
There is the root Of the trouble. OF
one of its many roots. We are often
trying TO do more than We can afford
to do; more. in fact than we have q
right to do when We invite company
to our homes If the neighbor at
whose house we have recently dlned
keeps several maids and gives fash
iOnable dinners, We are ashamed TO
return her hospitality by asking her
TO a simple little meal in our small
fiat in which We have only one serv-
ant
A bride whose husband is on a small
salary recently suggested TO him that
they ask to dinner in their tiny apart
ment a couple who had been very kind
to them and had shown them gener-
Gus hospitality The young husband
reminded his eager wife that il would
cost lot"
But Why2" protested the would be
hostess "A little dinner for four per
sons need not cost much I can pre-
pare many Of the dishes myself
A Stumbling Block.
You forget" said her husband, the
drinks"
She had not considered them until
he reminded her that at the house Of
the couple whom they were planning
to entertain there had been cocktails
before dinner, champagne with dinner.
and several kinds of cOrdials after
dinner The bride soon understood
that what her husband called the
drinks would cost more than she had
imagined.
And so-here was the mistake-ths
dinner was not given The wife OF the
man who made two thousand a year
was not willing 10 ask to her house
the wife Of the man making ten times
that amount because she could not
provide as fine wines as did the more
wealthy woman. And yet il did not
occur to the young wife that this re-
luctanCe was a reflection upon the
sincerity Of the new friends liking for
her, a tacit admission that she would
come 10 her house, not for the pleas
ure Of her hosts company, but for the
entertainment they would provide

lack Of fOrmality2 One of the most
delightful places to visit is an apart

In the desire to do as well as, or
better than, anyone else we are losing
Z the true spirit of hospitality. Add to
this the fact that the average servant

why the woman of today entertains
less often than did her mother.

dead Grant kept right on, remOrse-

for reinforcements to fill the gaps
and still onward!
The magnificent tomb on the Hud-

in any sense Of the word genius, but
he had plenty of common sense, and
that common sense told him that the
only way to whip Lee was to keep at
him until he should wear himself out

what happened, and to General Grant
belongs the honor OF carrying out the
