be assembling. AS a matter of fact she
is, because in these essences of their
nature, and away down inside, women
are all alike. But what beautiful thing
it is to be able to dissemble so well
that no one suspects and especially up
on such a serious thing as hospitality.
AS a matter of fact women, in their
dealing with each other, are too artifi-
cial to appreciate the spirit of true hos
pitality. They feel that they must have
the table filled with all sorts of edfbles,
and that they must provide unceasing
amusement for their guests, when the
guest herself is being made thoroughly
uncomfortable because she feels that she
is causing a great deal of extra effort on
the part of her hosts. Hence the guest
will naturally be more hurried to get
away.
If we could watch the men a little
when they are playing hosts, we might
get number of good lessons in the no.
BILE art of entertaining.

IN WOMAN'S SPHERE

A man takes it for granted that his
guest will do as he pleases, and ask for
what he wants, especially if he hap
pens to be a good friend, therefore he
sees no necessity of fussing about and
Fostering him with attention. He leaves
him alone a part of each day because
it is the nature of each human being
to enjoy himself by himself. He does
not neglect his business and thus make
his friend feel that he is retarding his
hosts financial progress. He merely
pursues the even tenor of his way and
welcomes the guest with his heart more
than with his hands, and If the two
are congenial what more pleasant state
of affairs could the human heart wish?
Oh, yes, we hear the woman clamor
All this time his wife is at home cook
ing for them too. Certainly, and she
is more than likely, the only fly in their
ointment of content, because she is put
ting herself out so. apologizing for the
tough beefsteak, and the heaviness of
the bread. If the man was obliged to
cook for his guest, do you suppose he
would put himself to such an amount
of bother? Indeed no He would slap
something into the frying pan, buy some
pork and beans make his guest set the
table, and wash the dishes and scrub
the kitchen floor If he so desired. AND
If the day were very hot, they would
not cook at all but go out for the meal.
And yet women consider themselves
highly impolite If they would so insult
their guest as to ask them to eat else
where than in the home, which is alb
surdity itself. Have you not seen hun
dreds of women who looked and talked
worn out after their friends had gone
She says 1--WE had guests for a week.
You know what that means without my
telling" and her hands go out in ges-
ture more eloquent of exhaustion than
any words. But the man says something
like this: well, do you know 1 never
did think very much of Jones until
this last visit, but By Georgei he's
mighty good fellow. We must have him
out again real soon" The real trouble
lies in the fact that a man gives him
self, and the very best of himself to
his friend and the woman gives her
cookery and the best of her cookery

unduly fond of those little courtesies
from men which are going out of style
In these later years. If a woman drops
something she is delighted with the man
who is handy and ready to spring for
the desired article at a moments no
tice, and thus save the feminine back
from STOPPING; she adores having the
door opened for her; she is more than
glad to be the recipient of all those
minor attentions which are so easy for
some men to perform and so difficult
for others. At these moments of be-
ing waited upon in trifies she fees to
the full, the whole wonder of being a
woman and has a faint but deepseated
conviction that she is on an elevated
plane from that which is occupied by
those servile male creatures. And some
times in her safe retreat of woman
hood she entirely forgets to be polite
herself. 1t is very common thing
indeed to see man open a heavy door
for a woman and to have her take the
courtesy careless matter and never
trouble herself to thank the gentleman.
She seems to have forgotten that she
should respond to courtesy with cour-
tesy. Women are always signing for
those good old days the days of grand
mother, when men were really polite
and shielded the tender maids and ma
irons with the cloak of their chivalry,
but they fail to call to mind that when
men were chivalrous, women were gen.
tie and timid. Our grandmothers paid
dearly for all the knightliness they
called forth by not being allowed to
speak up in meeting; by being afraid of
every shadow; by staying at home and
knitting, no matter what was going on.
For Grandmother there were no ball
games. cross country hikes in COM
pany with a male admirer, no automobile
jaunts, no afternoon clubs, but she had
lots of chivalry. When grandmother
arrived men all rose up from their
chairs until she sat; they kept their
heads bare while she was in the
room; they lowered their voices and
spoke only of pleasant things lest they
might rufhe her tender nature; they
kept her in small corner of the world
and only turned to her when their
hearts felt need of sympathy and gen.
tleness; and grandmother responded
with all the politeness, the courtesy.
the unfailing grace which has made her
famous. The women of today are eager
to make comparisons between the men
of today and the men of yesterday, but
they forget to make the same compari-
sons of the women. AS a matter of fact
the women have lost just as much of
their courtesy as the men have, and
without women to set the example, the
men will never initiate the bygone prac-
tice. In a crowd. women are far more
unthoughtful of others than are men;
and true politeness lies in thinking of
the other fellow. Each woman wants
the best seat in a filed room, not only
does she want it from the man but she
