BY John p. Medbury.
" HE reason a lot of people
can't get by in society is
- lat they're amateurs. They
don't know how to hurt another
persons feelings without insult
ing them.
Whenever you make q cutting
remark you have to say it like
you meant it and look like you
didn't.
In the best of society no woman
ever insults her hostess without
smiling while she does it.
In order to be an expert "cat"
you have to know how to purr as
well as meow.
Every well-bred society woman
leaves the room at least. once or
twice during an affair in order
to give the other women a chance
to talk about her.
If she doesn't do this, the other
women will soon get the idea that
she isn't good enough to talk
about.
You. can have $1,O00,000 worth
of diamonds but they don't do you
a bit of good unless you know
how to display them. In society,
you're supposed to wear your
jewelry just as though it were
paid for.
You've got to do this because
the other women are ladies and
wOuIdn't think of asking you to
show them the receipt.
They might inSinuate that you
stiIl owed for your rings, but they
wouldn't think of hurting your
feelings by coming right out and
telling you so.
Whenever you go to swell
society function always stay as
late as possible; you don't want
your chauffeur to think that you
aren't popular.
OF course you know that when
ever you give weekend party
that it's proper to send your
guests their transportation. You
can get out of this very cheap by
only asking people who live in
the same block that you do.
Their railroad fare won't be
anything and it's not necessary
to offer to have their shoes re-
paired for them.
Your footman should stand out
In the front of the house, but he 2
should be in plain clothes. If he
had brass buttons on your arriv-
ing guests might think he was a
policeman and get the idea that
the place was being raided.
Then If your machine was.
standing in front Of the house.
too, some Of the guests might
think it was the police patrol and
start climbing into it from force
of habit.
Whenever you're giving a lawn
party don't make the mistake of
putting up a lot of signs Keep
off the grass
When attending a social func-
ton, it's considered well bred to
arrive late, providing you get
there the same day.

dishes served at these affairs are
