From an article on etiquette in q
London paper, the following paragraph
gives one Englishman's idea of a good
hostess:
I enjoy myself best in unconven-
tionai households, and the best are al
ways little bohemian. Now bohem-
ianism need not be another word for
bad behavior.
- There is dancing, or a concert, or
local people come in the evenings I
dare say you'll be able to look after
yourselves during the daytime There
are horses and a motor for those who
like, but I'm going to leave you all to
forage for yourselves This is the
hostess who can set her friends at
their ease and I am blissfully happy
when staying in her house. especially
if she smokes. 1t always makes things
more comforta BILE if you can wander
about and smoke anywhere. OH those
houses with special rooms to smoke in,
And oh! those unhealthy minded peO-
pie with a dingy attic right at the top
of the house, so that the fumes shall
not penetrate into the drawing room
and make the curtains smell, All hail
TO the Ladies Smoking league! Thank
goodness it has done away with the
musty, minded 'gentIeman's
parlor' OF course, a good hostess will
take a cigarette even if she is not a
smoker herself; it makes the other wo-
men who do feel at ease"
A Topeka traveller who has lately
returned from abroad, says that, as far
as she could observe, woman in Eng
land often had to smoke as a matter
of self defense, for the men of the
household were so constantly putting
tobacco fumes into her carpets and
curtains and clothes that a little new
smoke is necessary to counteract the
secondhand variety she is used to.
