Letters of Introduction.

Letters of Introduction.
If you introduce a friend to q friend
1t is better to write a little letter in
advance explaining the coming visit.
This insures cordial reception and ar
ranges for a meeting and for a prep
aration that relieves a strain.
A letter of introduction should be a
few sentences written on your own
note paper and inclosed in an address,
ed envelope which is not sealed. Do
not make any reference to the unhap-
py circumstances of the bearer and
keep your own personal experiences
out of the note.
The letter should introduce the bear
er to the receiver and ask in polite
terms that any little courtesy that can
be extended to the stranger be exer-
cised. The recipient should be thank
ed for any help given.
y y
The Summer Guest.
Don't make the mistake of usurping
family privileges if you are a guest.
For instance, don't give orders to the
servants in the house and refrain from
doing anything that will disrupt the
scheme of the home in which you are
visiting.
1t is the duty of a visitor to be
ready for everything. If breakfast is
served at Sand it is your place to
find out the time for meals-you should
not be late. Nothing is more provok-
ing to a hostess than to wait for de-
linquent guest and to sit down before
cold meal. "Punctuality is the po-
likeness of kings" and the hallmark of
lady and gentleman. Don't fail in
punctuality just because you cannot
trace your family tree to William the
Conqueror.

No Children In Black.
Young children should never be put
in black. 1t is entirely uncalled for,
conspicuous and cruel to the childish
natures of the wearers.
