THE art of being a good hostess
is n subtle one. Grace and
composure of manner. and
certain necessary practical qualities
help TO make the ideal hostess. Not
only does a good hostess possess the
gift OF making each individual guest
feel at ease. but she remembers the
tastes and habits OF each: and, while
planning for their amusement, she
understands the secret of making
them thoroughly comfortable.
