The Gracious Hostess.

Not every woman possesses that
Unborn graciousness that makes the
practice of hospitality a sort Of Sec
ond nature to her. Yet every woman
can acquire the manner needed to
make her guests welcome.
To begin with guests should be
made to feel welcome. not only by
the pretty courtesies that are ex-
tended to them. but by the words
and attitude Of every member of
the family they visit. Even the
glad smile of a child of the house
is welcome that any one might
envy. This attitude of welcome is
natural to some of us; but all of
US can acquire it. and children SO
quickly copy the manners of their
elders and reflect the home atmos-
phere that they can be depended on
to do their part il their parents do
theirs.
So much for the general atmosphere
that betokens kindly breeding. Now
for the actual attentions of a social
sort that you may pay your guest.
You may, toward the early part
OF her stay with you, plan some
sort or party-anything from q most
informal knitting tea to formal
dinner or dance.
Some very dear friend. perhaps
under some social obligation to you.
may give this first party for your
guest tea, perhaps, or a dinner.
Such q tea is naturally informal; in
these days the guests are quite cor
rectly asked by phone.
Tho soht of other amusement you
furnish your guest must be decided
by where you live and the guests
taste. If she comes from a big city.
the theater and such citified means
of entertainment will not especially
appeal to her. She will probably pre-
fer the sort of entertainment she
finds in your own home and in the
homes of your friends who invite
her to come. with you. to luncheon.
or dinner. or for the Afternoon or
evening. In most communities the
friends whom you invite to meet your
guest will plan some sort OF enter,
tainment for her. which you need
feel no hesitancy about accepting
for her.
