The Successful Hostess
OF lnterest to Women Readers


To De a successful hostess, a woman
must have tact. amiability, and be
able 10 assume an air OF indifference
when accidents occur before the eyes
OF her guests. She may possess
wealth untold, she may have the kind
e. OF hearts and the brightest OF
minds. but unless she has absolute
control OF her feelings. there Will be
some time in her career as hostess
that she viii display annoyance or
furry. and the ContaglUn, spreading
to her guests. viii cause an otherwise
successful entertainment to result in
undisguised failure. A model hostess
must to all appearances be made Of
stone. 50 far as disagreeable happen
iugs are concerned Even though
guest or careless waiter Inadvertently
breaks a bit OF china which can new
e. be replaced. she must smile as
tho the loss OF the entire set would
but empha2ize the pleasure Of the
evening Her wellbrd calm inspires
her guests with a feeling OF conf
dence; and tho in her heart She may
be very dubious about certain impor-
tant details of her dinner, II she does
not show her anxiety everything viii
pass off TO happy conclusion. A
Hurried hostess or nervous host
whose eountenance but badly conceal
the worry they feel, can do more to-
ward making the guests uncomforta-
bic than if the soup were served
stone cold An imperturbable calm
and a ready tact are two important
factors in the making of a model hos
tess Secure these and you need ney-
er fear for the success of any of you.
