II They have certain dignity about
them, a certain calm assurance which
makes people respect them. 1t is because
they know exactly what to do and say on
every occasion that they able to min
gle with the most highly cultivated people
and yet be entirely at ease.
But there are some people who are
never at ease among strangers. Because
they do not know the right thing to do at
the right time, they are awkward self
conscious. They are afraid to accept invi-
tations because they do not know what to
wear, how to acknowledge introductions,
how to make people like them. They are
tlrnld In the presence of celebrated people
because they do not know when to rise
and when to remain seated, when to speak
and when to remain silent, when to offer
ones chair and when not to. They are
always uncomfortable and embarrassed
when they in the company of cultured
and women.
1t is only by knowing definitely, with
out the slightest doubt, what to do say,
write and wear on all occasions, under all
conditions, that one is able to be dignihed,
charming and well-poised at all times.

Here's the Way People
Judge Us

Let us pretend that we are
in the drawing room and the
hostess is serving tea. Nu-
merous little questions of con-
duct confront us. If we know
what to do we are happy, at
ease. But if we do not know
the correct and cultured thing
to do we are i'll at ease. We
know we are betraying our
selves. We know that those
who are with us can tell imme-
dlately, simply by watching us
and talking to us, if we are not
cultured.
For instance, one must know
how to eat cake correctly.
Should it be taken up in the
fingers or eaten with a fork?
Should the napkin be entirely

Mexico City, April elaborate
