THE IDEAL HOST
By CoNsTANCE wuI.I.us

The English hosts intentions are ex- cellent, but his fulfillment of them some times falls short of perfection.
 Being casual creature the English man forgets to reserve table, but when this difficulty is surmounted the dinner Is excellent After the question of drink is settled the supreme business of eating begins. Conversation would be a useless extra while anything so important is go- ing forward The Englishman likes to dine in company with a well dressed woman. To sit quite alone might be dull But one can imagine him saying men. tally:
 "I am giving you a good dinner. For goodness sake don't chatter, and do not above all, expect me to exercise my mind in the matter of your entertainment 7" When the time for departure arrives the well-tipped waiter helps the guest on with her cloak, while the oblivious host is lighting his cigar. He turns back into the light and warmth almost before the taxi has started.
 The Frenchman would be an ideal host if he did not often forget material things in the delights of scintillating conversa- tion. jen d'esprit and general intellectual fireworks.
 With sweep of his arm he upsets a plate of soup the waiter Is bringing, but

makes you think of such lot of jolly things. The warm days are coming, leienics. tennis and trips on the river Can you think of a nice salad with. out getting a nice summery feeling all over you? I can't.
 The result Is that we have nearly always something to look forward to. If you stay with us a little longer you will be able to help us get ready for the first tea in the summer house "a very great occasion. We don't do anything wonderfully elaborate, yol know, but we talk about all these things and think of the jolly side of them, and as for the day itself-well-- you can make fine effects by letting the girls wear their prettiest frocks and putting out two kinds of cake anl jam for tea. We make as much as we can of the little things-that's the whole secret of it. Don't you think 1t Is good idea?
 IL seemed so good as to be worth passing on.
 After all, there are a lot of happy things in life and few of us make erough of them, mores the pity

what does that matter? He entertains | he exerts himself to be amusing. How | he talksi
 He expects his guest to talk (though ! not too much: a Frenchman thoroughly appreciates a good listener); he is charm ing.
 The entree gets cold while a killing story is told, and the waiter Is sulky at the smallness of the tip; but in spite of all drawbacks the Frenchman as a host has his good points. When the time for departure arrives he does not in the least mind hailing s passing bus tto take a taxi would in his estimation, be ridiculous extravagance) and stands on the pavement hat in hand, till the numbering vehicle is out of sight.
 One the whole think the palm as host must be given to the American. Per haps he is sometimes rather ostentatious, apt to speak loudly. anxious to let ev- eryone know that money Is no object to him. but his other qualities balance these drawbacks.
 Does he invite you to dine at a fine hotel the question arises: How will you get these? I have never had to wait for an American host; but it would be no unusual thing for him to call for his guest. particularly if she were a lady coming alone.
 A table in just the right corner has been reserved. If you have ever expressed a. preference for any particular flower you may find a bunch of them beside your plate The dinner, of course, is excellent, the waiting all that could be desired the champagne properly iced. and not ordered sweet as a matter of course because you are woman.
 All this is not by sany means a ques- ton of money. I have dined with an American in a cheap little restaurant and found just the same thought and care expended upon the dinner and guest who was to eat it.
 The American man--the best type-has a quiet, solid determination to have what he wants, and as he wants it. He never fusses; the Frenchman leaves him far behind as conversationalist, but he ex- erts himself to entertain his guest, and surrounds her with the little kindnesses and attentions-mere surface affairs, to be sure-which are the true essence of which good hosts are made.

Getting Light In Trenches

Paris. May .-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)--A reservist writes from the trenches telling how light is drawn from the Germans when a soldies wants to see what time 1t is at night and has no match. What time is it?" asked young recruit of the class of 1914 at his listening post in the advanced trenches. No one had match and it was too dark to make out the time. l" If you want a light said territorial who had passed the winter in the trenches you nave only to open sharp fire on the trenches yonder. The suggestion was acted on and after few shots in quick succession star seemed to open out in the sky overhead. Fearing a surprise att, tack the Germans had sent up a fuse to light the position Now you can see your watch" said the territorial. but don't try the ruse too often"

"The Little Feasts"
By IRENE WESTON

It does not take an exceptionally wise person to realize the value of fes- tivals in life, but few people seem to grasp the fact that it is very easy and very delightful to add considerably to the number of the festivals celebrated by the ordinary family We keep Christ mas, New Year and Thanksgiving as matter of course, and most of us retain an interest in birthdays but those are generally all the festivals We mark in any special way. l want to suggest one or two ways in which We may provide ourselves with mora festivals,
 The idea is not my own It is that Of certain wise woman of my &C., quaintance One day last week she ina de an announcement. Next Sunday" she said. we will have a salad. Things are frightfully dear still, but there t.ie lettuces and cucumbers and the rest in the shops and we will have one"
 The family welcomed the announce ment with joy and as the days passed that salad was mentioned vcry fre- quently, and I began to take an fn- terest. The others evidently regard- ed it as an event. They did not be- long to that unfortunate class which can have salads all the year around. Financial reasons compelled them to Nait for things till they were in sea- son and at least moderately cheap. Listening to the remarks l remembered how many years I had myself waited with eager desire for the ripening of the first strawberry. There came a measure of understanding.
 Why, yes, I always make an event of this sort of thing said my hostess in reply to question. Its just way I've got into. Children get so much happiness out of looking forward to things-you know Christmas keeps them busy for weeks before. It struck me that we might have lot of lit- tie festivals in addition to the big ones. so l started to invent some.
