friends. When we can play elabo-

our own more modest best in this
respect.
But even nowadays there are some
communities where music. and music
produced by the members of the COM

are certain little niceties of etiquette
that apply to the home musical, the

friends unless you are quite sure
they want to hear you. Usually they
will ask to hear you. But if you
know they want to hear you, there
is no reason why you should not ask
them to come to your house for mu-

entertain them.
Never act coy about playing or
singing when you are requested to 10

hear you. don't make them coax and
beg you to entertain them.
IF YOU have an intimate friend who
plays or sings well. YOU may ask him
to come to your house to entertain a
guest or gathering of friends. How
ever, take special pains to make him
understand that you do not wish to
impose on him. Treat him as the
guest of honor. And, if you are ask
ing him to entertain your guests in
the evening, ask him. perhaps, to
have dinner with you beforehand, or
else be quite sure to entertain him
on some other occasion. If you hap
pen to have musical guest among
others invited to your house. you
may ask him on the spur of the mo-
ment to sing or play for YOU But
if he refuses. don't press him. If YOU
had asked him beforehand he would
have come prepared to entertain you
BUT he may not feel inclined to sing
or play. as the case may be- without
preparation.

ARE you ORDERLY?

Most women who keep house imagine
themselves orderly, at least in spirit.
If they are not SO in practice it is be-
cause of circumstances over which
they have no control. They have not
enough closets, or their children are
disorderly. or it is their husband s
fault or else they try to make you be-
lieve that maids are far less tidy
than they used to be.
The time to test yourself to see
whether you are orderly is not the
afternoon when you are expecting
your bridge club to meet at your
house and consequently have been
spending several hours in seeing that
your house is in hipshape-but some
Monday morning about 10 O'Clock.
after the usual sort of Sunday with
its profuSion of newspapers, and man
folk who regard every receptacle in
the house from the bud vase in the
drawing room to the pen rack on your
desk as the normal repository for
tobacco ashes. And, of course, it is
always these things that you notice
most-the things for which YOU are
not to blame.
4 good deal of disorderliness in and
out of your house is due to the tact
that you did not do quite enough
thinking when you moved into that
house. If the maids will leave the
brooms in the pantry where you trip
over them it is doubtless because you
did not plan a convenient broom
closet. If the children leave their rub
berS under the table in the entrance
hall it is because there is no clothes
closet convenient to the entrance OF
your house. If the pet dog paws the
cover off the garbage pail and over
turns the pail itself it may be, you
know. because you did not see that
there was Il recess somewhere under
the back porch where such receptacles
might be kept out of harms way.
