submerged and every courtesy and
considered extended. The oldtime
Idea that whoever is under your
roof is under your protection and
care still remains true. So much
for the host and hostess point Of
view.
Hints for Guests.
As for a guest, she Tor he) Is not
without social obligations to those
under whose roof she is. She should
At in with any plans that are sug-
gested unless she is physically unfit
for them. She should conform to the
life of the family, so that she does
not upset any household schedule.
She should consult her hostess If she
would like to see persons whr are
unknown to the hostess, and arrange
to see them at times that she is
free. 1t Is pleasant when the guest
in such cases expresses the wish that
her hostess meet the unknown per.
son when she believes that this would
be mutually agreeable. Often when
this is done, the hostess herself plans
some time for the friends to come
to her home, though this Is not con
sidered imperative. However. such
matters permit of pleasant reciprocity
between guest and hostess.
Concerning Time.
A guest must remember that her
time is at the disposal Of her hostess,
and should avoid doing anything that
would imply she thought otherwise.
On the other hand. the hostess should
express the desire to do anything
that the guest especially wishes, even
to suggesting times she may have
at her own disposal, If she, would like
to do anything special or explore any
places all by herself.
In the Matter Of Food.
The guest should try to eat what
ever is set before her. II she can.
not eat certain foods, she must never
under any circumstances express dis
like for them. The perfect guest
takes some of 1t, and toys with 1t
though she does not eat 1t. The
perfect hostess makes no comments
on the fact that she is not eating
the food, but makes q mental note
OF the matter. and avoids serving
that special dish during her visit. If
it is a short one. But IL the dish is
a favorite with the family, and the
friend is remaining for some length
of time. she SHOULD not deprive her
family of the dish just because the
guest fails to eat 1t. The hostess
should provide a substitute for the
guest.
The Best Conditions.
Visiting is made thoroughly en-
joyable when the perfect guest"
visits a perfect hostess" Since at
one time or another all Of us are
either hostess or guest. it Is we'll to
that cooperation is needed
to insure true enjoyment, whether the
visit be of long duration or confined
to a short call.
