HOSTESSES

IN WO things are essential to a sue
cessful party-agreeable guests
and good hostess. The first
can be found quite easily-most peo-
pie are willing to be entertained. The
second-well look out for good
hostess; she is as rare as Strawberries
in winter.
The good hostess is she who likes
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES generally do the
thugs they like well. She likes hav-
Ing people-that is the great secret.
She makes every one feel that they
have given her pleasure by coming 10
her home, therefore she possesses the
FIRST great -geniality. There
Is no don 't-care-whether-y er-you-come-or-
not sort of style; there Is warmth
In voice and manner which spells
welcome to the guest. The atmos-
phere then Is warm.
But this is not enough; II must
be kept at an even temperature. Ey-
erything likely to chill or to inhame
must be carefully excluded. The
good hostess wants her guests to en-
Joy themselves, and she lays her
plans so that 1t Is their own fault If
they do not The people who want to
meet each other are brought togeth-
er, and left together.
The good hostess never fuses, al
though she has a quick eye to see
when people have had enough of one
another. She monopolizes no one,
but she finds an opportunity OF Civ
ing little OF her own time to each
guest. No one Is allowed TO go away
fapIinQ that ha must have ham aalx-
ed to "hll up" She distributes her
favors evenly.
She makes 1t her business to see
that her guests have good time, and
she leaves nothing to chance.

PASTOR DIVIDES A CHURCH
Yale Divinity Students Resignation
After Heresy Sermon Rejected by
Vote of as to 40.

New Haven, Conn.-The little town
OF Branford, seven miles east Of here,
is thoroughly aroused over the recent
utterances OF the Rev. Seeley Is.
Thompkins, pastor of the First Con-
gregational church, and report had it
that charges Of heresy might be made
against him. The Rev. DR.. Thomp'
kins, according to some of his critics,
Is ultra-liberal in his views.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Thompklns
preached sermon in which he said
he believed most Of the Bible was
heresy.
John ]. Cunningham, deacon, led
the attack upon the young pastor and
he was supported by the older mem
bers OF the church.
Opposed to the acceptance of the
resignation of the pastor was the
younger element, headed by William
Hotchkiss and Herbert E. Thatcher. a
deacon. The resignation was rejected
by a vote of 46 to 30.
Mr.. Thompkins is a senior Of the
Yale divinity school, coming here two
years ago from Minnesota. His wife
Is here with him.
