WHERE THERE is NO MAID.

Whenever possible. part-time
worker, who does not pose as a
permanent household servant. but
simply helps to prepare. serve and
clear away the dinner, may be en-
ployed. In many college towns,
where the wives of the members
of the faculty are called on to do
much entertaining on a salary that
has not risen with the soaring
price of butter and beef. there are
students working their way
through college who gladly help
with dinners. OF course they are
not experienced mattresses; and
the tactful and we'll bred hostess
does not try to make them appear
expert mattresses. She does not
make excuses for their lack of ex-
pertness. either, but simply does
her best to make up for it. In
other towns. too. ii is often pos
sible to get part time workers.
The we'll bred guest at such a
dinner has chance TO show his
breeding. He must take things as
they come and be ready TO over
look any informality in the SER
vice. The well bred man at such
4 dinner is not the one who stands
whenever the hostess or some
other woman in the family rises
to make change of plates-as
have actually known men 10 do.
He is rather the one who acts as
If he thoroughly enjoyed the gra-
cious hospitality OF his hostess.
The well-bred woman is not the
one who insists on rising and help
ing her hostess serve the dinner.
She is rather the one who takes
her cue from the hostess's atti-
tHde If the hostess wants 10
make the dinner appear little
formal, the woman guest should
not offer her assistance. IT, on
the other hand, the hostess acts
informally, the woman guest
shows only eourteousness in ask
ing IF there Is anything she may
do to help. But except in the case
of very intimate friends. any in
sistence on helping would be in
very bad taste.

Your Manners
in a Hospital
The Visitors Should Think of the
Patients Happiness and
Comfort.

.VYYHEN it comes to hospital
w manners the obligations
are all on one side. Ii YOU
visit a friend in ward or private
room remember that the very fact
that he is in the hospital acquits
him of the usual demands of
courtesy to a very great extent.
Although you are his guest YOU
should not judge his conduct by
the usual standards of hospitality.
If you are so sensitive that you
are going to feel snubbed or in
suited at your manner of recep-
tion, or out of sorts because you
are informed by nurse after
ten minutes that il is time for
your call to terminate. then you
had far better not 60 to see your
friend. Moreover no one ought 10
visit a friend in the hospital who
is not sufficient master of his own
emotions to go through the visit
without showing the patient how
grave may be his condition.
Never visit any one in the hos
pital unless you are quite sure
that the patient wants TO see you
and that he is in a condition not
to be harmed by your visit. Just
because when you were in the hos
pital you welcomed any and all
visitors as means of breaking the
deadly monotony of gazing at
those four blank hospital walls is
no guarantee that your friend also
desires visitors. Find out from
members of his family who have
seen him or from his nurse
whether you are wanted.
Then learn the rules of the hos
pital for visiting. In most hos
pitfalls ward visitors are welcomed
only on certain days of the week.
In other hospitals there are only
certain hours in the day when
visitors are allowed in the private
rooms. Don't show your lack of
consideration by asking to see a
friend out of these stipulated
hours. Never enter a friends
private room or knock for admis-
sion, even though you believe him
TO be well on the way to recovery,
without first reporting to the
nurse on duty in the corridor.
Sometimes guest finds his way
to a private room and thinks he
has done enough when he knocks
at the door. The patient may be-
lieVe IL to be one of the hospital
attendants when he replies
come" and the visitor will then
gain admission when the patient
is really not ready to accept him
or possibly not really in condi-
tion to see anybody.

The Habit
of Leisure


-HE old idea very frankly used
TO be that there was distinct
= connection between courtesy
and good manners and good
breeding and leisureliness. The
woman who lived in comparative
idleness was the woman who set
the standard of good breeding.
She was genteel IL for no other
reason than simply because she
was leisurely, and the rest of
womankind in every stratum of
society did their best TO initiate
her manners and her habits. In
short, she was a lady, and to be
lady was the ambition OF the
majority of womankind.
1t is only recently. compsra-
lively, that we have changed our
ideas as far as women are con-
cerned, and of course there are
some women who still feel that
active work for wages In some way
robs them of their claim TO good
breeding. Men. however, have
been emaneipated from this leisure
idea longer. But IT has not al
ways been so. Once it was ac-
counted something of a disgrace
for. a man. to Know how to real
and write. That was the work Of
poor monks and schoolmen--
knights and gentlemen and noble
men busted themselves with fight
ing and such noble sports. Ii
{ q Ffnxt a q IL ~.
written they employed a scribener
to do 1t for them, and if they
wished to have some writing de-
ciphered they applied to the same
humble retainer.
Even a hundred years ago il
was deemed unworthy of gentle
man to be professional musician,
and one reason put forth in a
book of manners written in those
days why a gentleman should not
wear short finger nails was that IL
he did 1T might be supposed that
he ''got his bread by fiddling."
Even fifty years ago young
ladies We're warned not to walk
fast in the street-for fear that
GbtAAE ohb AiiAStiA 5hpBODG lnal lhEs
were employed at something and
were therefore in hurry. The
idea that their manner was sup
posed TO imply that they were ut
terly indolent. And as result
the leisured manner was consid-
cred the well bred manner, and
any young woman, even though
she did work for a living, il she
wished TO have the manners of a
lady always managed somehow so
that she need not walk rapidly
when she went to and came from
her work. Now, of course, the
woman Of leisure finds something
TO do. She likes to take with her
manner of being very busy and
so she often puts in hours a day
lof work in some pet charity.

When It's Some
body's Birthday
The Polite Thing To DO Is Tt
Remember Ii.

IN FRANCE and other conti-
mental countries it is the GUS
= tom to honor ones friends on
the fete day of the saint in whose
honor they were named. In this
country. even among persons to
whom there would be a special
religious significance to the fete
day of the patron saint. the Gus
tom is for social purposes to honor
the birthday instead. In France
mothers give presents TO their
children on their fete day; here
il is on ones birthday that one is
especially regaled with presents
and congratulations.
In business and public life
mans birthday-or woman s,
eifher-is always suitable occa-
sion for the sending of congratu-
latory letters or kilograms. Es-
pecially il the person is advances
in years congratulations of this
sort are appropriate. Not long
ago when a prominent business
man and public benefactor reached
his eightieth birthday kilograms
came to him from all over the
country. from those who knew him
personally and those who did not
know him. but who admired the
work that he had done. One of
these kilograms written by a man
no less well known than the octa-
genarian began with these words:
Congratulations that you are
eighty years young" and ended
with: Accept my best wishes for
many more years of service to
your country"
kilograms and letters are
peculiarly suitable as birthday re-
membranes at the present time
instead OF gifts of intrinsic value
because they are in keeping with
thrift that we are all enjofned to
exercise. And they are at all
times suitable for older persons or
for those whose financial position
leaves them with few personal
wishes unsatisfied. There are a
hundred things you can think of
TO give the young girl or boy just
entering in life, but to the old man
or woman there are few such
things and letter of hearty con-
graduation has far deeper ap-
peal than anything else could
have.
Not every one knows that every
letter or telegram of congratula-
tion should be acknowledged
within week OF acceptance
preferably within As hours. The
most complimentary way to an
swer the telegram of congratula-
tion Is by telegram. but a we'll
worded letter may be made to
carry the message of appreciation.
