THE HOSTESS AT HOME.

The hostess who dresses clap
orately at her own house or when
sponsoring an entertainment any
where is not considerate. She
should reserve her new frock and
most brilliant jewels for ahother's
entertainment. She wears her
simplest frocks in her own home
so as to put at ease those of her
guests who may have come in very
simple attire. An exception to
this rule may be made in favor of
the mother who gives a wedding
or coming out reception for her
daughter. On such occasions the
hostess usually has new and
elaborate gown.
A careful hostess is always
serenely at ease in her own home.
If guests breaks her most
treasured bit of bric-a- brac she
assures her that 1t is not of the
slightest Importance and detracts
the attention OF the other guests
from the mishap. II the cook

apologies and does her best not 20

What the Custom is About This
Matter in Foreign Corre-
spondence.

TT is the custom In diplomatic
relations or countries in which
different languages are spoken
for all letters, papers. and mes
sages to be written in the language
of the one from where they are
sent. The replies are made not
in the same language, but In the
language of the country which
sends them. This was not always
the case. There was a time whom
such languages as English, French.
Spanish and German were consid-
cred as rather vulgar vernacular.
and all important international
communications were written in
Latin. Later French was used
for the language of diplomacy
among a considerable number Of
countries. French is still recog-
nized as the language of diplomacy
to some extent. for diplomatic
notes may be written not only in
the language of the sender, but in
French, and treaties must be in
the languages of the contracting
parties and in French. But now
the idea is that we can do no bet
ter than to use our own language.
True, in the State Department of
all great countries there are lin
guists who could make perfect
translations of any messages that
we might wish to send to almost
any country, but still there is less
chance for misunderstanding and
misinterpretation when the mes
sages are sent in the, very words
in which they were written and
thought out.
In commercial dealings between
different countries speaking differ
ent languages the same rule holds
good in most cases. We are al
present making rapid strides in
our dealings with the countries OF
South America. and the usual rule

is that our letters should be writ
ten to them in English and theirs
in Spanish. One might think that
to write in their language would
be comforting a sort of favor on
them, but unless il is known by
business house that the recipients
of the communication are not ac-
ouainted with the English Ian
guage and have no interpreters,
then 1t is customary 10 write in
English. There is very much less
chance for confusion in this way,
besides. as every one knows, IL Is
vastly easier to read accurately a
business letter in foreign Ian
guage than TO write one.
Sometimes the same custom
holds good in correspondence not
OF a business or diplomatic nature.
A good many Americans who have,
as the saying is, adopted little

Saying Good Night
Teach Your Children To Do IL
Properly.

YAyE the children IN your
n house been taught TO say
= good night every night be-
fore they go to bed? Or do they
slouch off when they are told to
retire and never think of lingering
for the courteous good night?
There was a good old custoni in
middle class families that is rap
idly declining in this country Of
having servants habitually say
good night to their employers be-
fore they went off to bed. Even
the cook who seldom went out Of
her domain in the daytime, stop
ped In the family living room long
enough each night TO give and re-
ceive a good night"
In certain parts Of the country
one hears the expression Good
night" used where In most places
one would say: Good evening"
That Is, good night IS a form of
greeting used any tipe after dark.
However. this is not the general
use Of the expression. It is a
localism that proves sometimes a
little confusing TO those who are
not used to ii. 1t is little dis
concerting to. have hostess greet
you when you call after dinner
with good night" You feel as
IL you had been dismissed before
you had been welcomed.
According TO popular use good
night" is the farewell remark ex-
changed by persons even in the
afternoon when they do not ex-
pect to see each other again till
the next day. Thus persons as
sociated with each other in busi-
ness usually say good night when
leaving for the day even when this
parting takes place as early as
four o'clock.
A reader has asked whether or
not a stenographer on leaving her
employers office should say Good
night" Usually there is no ques-
tion about this, for the employer
goes half way and should the ste
nographer hesitate he would make
the courteous speech himself.
However, IL the stenogra pher
habitually goes at a certain time
and the employer happened to be
engaged when the time came for
departure she need not walt to
make this speech. In most bust
ness offices one would not extend
the habit OF bidding others good
night outside the same immediate
office. That is. IL you work in a
separate room from the man who
employs you it is hardly necessary
to go to him and say good night,
unless he is a man of very courte-
Gus habits himself and seems TO
expect this.
In general it is the place of the

when she is at home, TO say good
night to the seamstress who has
been working for her or, IL her
establishment is small, TO the
laundress or charwoman who has
been working for her. So. too. q
is customary for a woman who
has her own car to bid her chauf-
feur good night when he leaves
her for the last time that day.
When we. have house guests
we should always bid them good
night when they retire. Some
women always kiss other women

related to them or closely attached.
and sometimes a woman I. con-

must be remembered that women
kiss each other much less than
they used to; and there are some
women who never kiss their own

therefore any the less devoted.
Sometimes we urge other peoples

To be able to look at the printed

better still. II would save taking re-

ing to make assignments for herself.
Hence she would rather follow some

Luncheon requirements differ as
much as does taste in breakfasts.
In one family the housewife may be
alone for luncheon when II is seldom
worth while TO bother with left
overs unless they are very small In
quantity and easily convertible into
something suitable. In family OF
this sort, If leftover meat dishes are
not liked for breakfast, the effort
should always be either to get just
enough meat for each dinner or
enough so that 1t may be used for
dinner the next day. Then it often
happens that the simplest luncheon

" of her own wedding she al
ways has visions OF white
wells, bridesmaids in dainty
-dresses. ushers in immaculate
afternoon or evening attire and a
bridegroom with white coat
bouquet In his button hole. When
she thinks of being married in
the right way. that Is what she
thinks of, and when IT turns out
that she cannot have these con-
ventional accessories OF the for
NAL wedding she is prone to think
that IL doesn't much matter how
she is married. A good many
persons fail to realize that there
Is any etiquette at all for the ex-l
tremely simple wedding. OF
course there are not so many
points OF form to consider, but
there Is a right way to manage
this simplest of weddings and
wrong way. -
The simplest wedding takes
place either at the home of the
priest or minister, in. the vestry
room of the church. In the church
itself, usually following a service,
or at the Office of the magistrate
who performs civil marriages.
For such a wedding the bride
should wear street attire-what-
ever is suitable for the time of
day when the ceremony is TO take
place. II she is to be married In
| the early morning a plain street
! frock or suit is most appropriate
because ii is least conspicuous. II
she is to be married in the after
noon, more elaborate outfit is
permissible. The young man mar
ried in this simple fashion usually
wears business clothes, no matter
when the wedding takes place.
He may wear a frock coat or cut

noon dress for men--if the we'd
ding takes place after one o'clock,
/, but most men nowadays don't pos
sess such attire and Ii would be
silly to get 1t specially for the in
formal wedding.
When being married at the

accompanied by those who are to
witness the ceremony. They would
never arrive alone together. but
there is no reason why they
should come separately. Usually
two witnesses are required, and
it is best for the bride and bride
groom to provide witnesses and
not to depend on the clergyman
to supply them. However. for a
simple wedding in the clergyman 8
house or vestryroom or the magis-
trate's office, it is inconsiderate to
have party of more than eight
besides the bride and groom. One
of the witnesses acts as best man,
hands the ring to the bridegroom
at the necessary time and gives
the minister his fee after the
ceremony.

for the wedding breakfast or sup

at a restaurant or hotel. When
this wedding repast takes place in
a public dining room, however, IL
is bad taste to have any display
of white ribbon or anything else
that would attract undue atteu-
tion. On the other hand. the bride
and bridegroom may bid their
