When Entertaining Is Overdone
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

ing her guest constantly into the lime
light and keeping up the pace" she is
really giving pleasure and not exercls-
ing a selfish desire to shine socially.
For the over-fsted, true hospitality,
with its more leisurely pleasures IS
genuine relief Hospitality is . gesture
of friendliness far more deep and gen.
ui1e than the more artifcisl entertain
ing. In hospitality the home itself IS
the center of interest and the members
Of the family the object Of attention.
There Is much more latitude allowed
the guest when hospitality rather than
entertainment Is offered. The English
are famed for the freedom allowed to
both host and guest. Each Is at liberty
to come and 60 at will In the days Of
the past decade this attitude was SO
emulated BY some formal hostesses In
America that it was considered the
thing not even to meet your guests until
some time after their arrival, giving
them the run IF the place meantime.
The house and all its appurtenances
were at the disposal of the newcomer
and the greeting was Of the most cas-
ual. In hospitality. wherever it is prac-
ticed, in lavish or modest circumstances.
the bounty Of the house is put at the
disposal Of the guest for him to help
himself as preference and good form
dictate.
The hostess must decide which sort
of pleasure will be most welcome. If
her guest has come from quiet place,
lacking in social activities, she does we'll
to increase her plans for entertaining;
if the reverse is true. and the guest Is
satiated with artificial pleasures, more
welcome than anything will be the
quiet dignity of home. and the rich
delight Of being taken into it as one OF
the family.

Go Outdoors.


Ordinarily you'd say the Summer is
over and it's high time to think OF
Autumn clothes and indoor amusement3
forgetting tennis for dances and out
door games for indoor parties. But if
you are wise you will keep on with
every available form of outdoor sport
as late as you possibly can. Tennis is
a good game on cold days if you rennenn-
Der to put en- heavy sweater as soon
as you have stopped. Golf can be
played any time the ground is decent.
Country clubs are putting in covered
courts for tennis, hand ball, squash and
basket ball There's no grander game
than ice hockey when broad pond has
frozen over.
Many women these days can get OUT
doors enough during the late Fall and
early Winter to keep fit. Those who do
not belong to clubs of any sort, who
live III large city far away from ten
MS courts. can still go to Y. w. c. A.
gymnasiunas or to private gyms. A
gymnasium can be ventilated until 1t is
practically out Of doors. And for those
who have neither Of these conveniences
there is always the possibility every day
Of taking long, brisk walk brisk
enc, not a stroll nor rarnble.
We're too apt to stagnats during the
Winter. We live in houses that are IN
variably overheated and underwent

Fig Preserves.

After washing some figs place them
in cold water to cover. Bring to a
boil and cook until tender enough to
pierce with a straw. Remove the figs
from the water and let them drain
overnight on rack, small point down
This will allow most Of the water to
escape. Make heavy strip of sugar
and water, and when it begins to
