TIPS FOR THOSE WHO
 ARE WEEK END GUESTS

An invitation for a weekend visit is usually received with joy. It is indeed a welcome break in the monotony of the business girls life, for it does not necessitate a large wardrobe, and requires very little preparation beforehand. In order that the fortunate girl and the hostess may enjoy this visit to the utmost, a few things must be remembered
 When you accept the invitation state the train on which you will ar rive. Should, by any accident, you miss this particular train send a mes sage, either by wire or telephone. Don't just casually walk in several hours later and be annoyed if you are not met by the hostess; she prob ably waited an hour or two after the train you failed to arrive on had gone, and decided that you had changed your plans at the last min ute.
 It is very irritating to have a guest who expects all and gives nothing. If the hostess suggests going to church, go, with her; if she should happen to be low church and you very high church, don't just stalk off to your own church, or any other kind for that matter. Fall into the ways of the house. and above all things be punctual to your meals. Cheerfully do whatever is expected of you. If she decides to go to a lecture, or spend the evening playing game, or doing a bit of embroidery, you do either of the three with good a grace as possible, even something else. You know you need not come again if you don't care to.
 Don't forget to give the maid a small tip when you leave. Twenty five cents wf11 make her remember you pleasantly When you. are at home again, write the 'tbread and butter'' letter, telling your hostess of your safe arrival, and thank her for the pleasant weekend spent with her. You may be a hostess yourself some day, so remember to ''do unto others" etc.
