she said by way OF introduction.
Money is no object, for my husband
is successful bootlegger. Now how
can you help me?"
For the benefit OF poor folks who
are not in the bootlegging business,
Gabby will recount some of the bits
OF wisdom given this would-bc leader.
Seating Dinner Guests.
when seating guests at your din
ner table," began the analyst, study
their heads. Do not seat Mr.. r.,
who has heavy upper development
Ga Daniel Webster dome, Gabby
would say next to Miss c., whose
forehead slopes decidedly back to her
faultless marcel. Why? They have
nothing in common. Your Daniel
Websters will be dreaming and
philosophizing while those of the
Uncle Sam profile will be thinking
quickly in the world of affairs.
Put your Wcbsters together and
let them dream. Place your typical
Americans on the other side OF the
bbtable where they will soon be dis
cussing the latest golf scores, the
best sellers (and cellars) and the
prospective pcnnant winners for the
season.
Be a Matchmaker.
Next you must remember" said
the acute-minded analyst. 'that no
one is thorough-going society
leader without being a matchmaker.
And, after all, this will be your great
est forte. By marrying off one of
your beautiful protegees to New
York lawyer, another to diplomat
in the Orient and still another to
titled European, you will establish
coaling stations for yourself, as it
were, which will give you pleasure
on your travels as well as prestige.
But you must know your busi-
ness. Your matches must turn
out successfully. Pick out dainty
creature with retrousse nose, indi-
eating yielding disposition, and
chin curving concavely from lip to
tip, denoting patience, for the DOM
mating cave man type with the
prominent aggressive nose and im-
patient receding chin. That will be
a charming combination OF the bur-
ly Othello and gentle Desdemona.
"Yes, my dear, before you thrust
two young people out together in
the moonlight, stud y them. By all
means look at their thumbs. Don't
ever try to mate flat-thumbed peo-
pie. II they marry, WHEY will be
back to father within month. Flat
thumbed people are obstinate, and
in this case two negatives do not
'~inake positive.
Weekend Parties.
Nothing like weekend parties
for making social hay That is,
providing you are a shrewd hostess.
Better omit them entirely if you are
not. Weekend parties establish an
intimacy of acquaintance which will
rebound to your credit and glory,
if, in the vernacular, you get away
with them. Now, if you are planning
a camping party, choose the coarser..
textured people. Get the rugged
type of stocky, athletic build, and
medium to coarse hair. They will
enjoy all tie hardships, even to
sleeping on rocks if necessary. The
fne-textured man would shiver at
every bug and worm encountered.
If YOU are taking that kind of an in
dividual, make the trip camping de
luxe for him. You can afford it,
OF course, considering your hus-
bands business.
Marrying Of Your Children.
"If you want the good that you do
to live after you and not be inferred
with your bones,' take an unobserved
interest in the man your daughter
marries and the girl who wins your
son. Remember the cases are en-
tirely different. You will wish your
daughter to marry for money, while
your son should have frugal wife.
He should look for the square-head,
long-fngered type, while your daugh-
ter should have the energetic, motive
minded individual. So again, study
your types!
Chauffeurs and Maids.
"Not the least important asset to a
cyociety matron is her ability to
choose servants. Your door maid
should be artistic and good on detail.
You should know by looking at her
whether or not she will leave dust in
the corners. Short-hngered people
are not good on details. Square
palms denote planning ability. Re-
member this in choosing your house
keeper, who should be an expert IN
that department.. Choose your chauf..
feur for reliability and mechanical
genius and you need have no fear OF
your daughter eloping with him.
High Lights at Receptions.
Receptions, as do nothing else, at
ford opportunity for catching the
high lights. Whether you are re-
ceiving yourself, or being received,
YOU have occasion to greet many
people in only word or two. The
person of culture never "holds up"
a line. She must get her personality
over in a moment and in word. In
fash she must size up her man"
Here is superb opportunity " Apply
character analysis.
"For example. here comes a de-
cjded brunette. That type is given
TO negative moods, you know. What
will YOU say to her? You must not
Jolt her. Give her something sym
pathetic. II her daughter has just
married, make some remark about
losing daughter but gaining SON
She won't care if the remark IS trite.
Your sentimental sympathy will make
her heart warm toward you
- "But what about the buoyant
blonde? Take her off her feet! You
won't offend her easily and you must
interest her. Give ner the up and
cnminn stuff and cut the sympathy.
