Being Hospitable.
The Perfect Hostess Studies
the Preferences of Her
Guests.

THE perfect hostess tries as tar
as possible. to leave the enter
tsinment OF her guests in their
own hands. making it her duty TO
study the preferences OF those she
has invited under her roof. She does
not ask them to arise at unusual
hours. or to drive, walk or play ten
mis- when they prefer to do other
things.
At English country homes the Gus
tom of visiting has certain system
connected with it. Guests arc asked
for specified number OF days and arc
expected to leave on the morning OF
the day the visit ends.
In an English home a guest who
arrives after the luncheon hour sell
dom sees the hostess until the tea
gathering. or possibly not until the
diners assemble. A well trained
maid conducts the guest to her room
upon arrival. informs the newcomer
of the family dinner hour and per-
haps serves tea or some simple re-
freshment.
Lack Of Ceremony in America.
The American hostess, however,
manages her establishment in less
ceremonious manner. She usually
drives or motors to meet the friend.
and though she may have retlnue
of servants she is very apt to con-
duct the guest to her room.
Before retiring for the night the
hostess usually informs her guests
