effect of driving them out-of the house.
Leading the conversation isa dangerous
experiment Better follow in its wake,
and if you want to endear yourself to
talking, learn to listen well. Never
make n fuss about anything--ncvcr

serve perfect cOmposure, no matter

commit. Remember that it is very
foolish proceeding to lament that you
cannot offer to your guestsa bettcrhousc,

sumo that their visit is to you, not to
these surroundings. Give people
