iwhen we entertain them outside our

a cup of tea with you in your own
home it is her bounden duty to be
appreciative of your attentions to
her. The frankest of guests would

House
'1‘ is a fact that it seems hardly
good form to mention that most
houses have a rhnfactcx'istiv odor
or scent. (‘hildrcn are Mon to

been blended out of a good brand of1
tobacco. mingled with the favoriti-
sachet of the rector's wife. plus the
scent of leather-back books from
the library and sandal wood from the
drawing-room.
But we usually do not analyze
these scents. “'e do not think of
what causes them but only of the
thing with which we associate them.
Thus to many persons there is a
characteristic odor of old-time char-
itable institutions. Someone who
knew that scent took the pains to
discover that the predominant ele-
ment in it was broad and butter.
poor butter or rancid butter. but
bread and butter none the less.
Added to this there was soap and
the smell of much-scrubbed floors
The boards did not have time thor-
oughly to dry out between washings
and there was something of rotting
wood about this.
Perhaps it is best not to analyze
further. Our sense of smell is the
one that we are led to lay on the
shelf and stifle as much as possible,
and as we grow out of childhood we
usually get out of the way of whif-
flag for these house smells.
Undoubtedly the scent that is the
greatest tribute to any housewife is
no scent at all. This is the result of
perfect ventilation. sanitary condi-
tions generally. There is a sort of
musty smell about some rather
grand old houses that undoubtedly
comes from neglected cellars. There
is another scent that tells that the
illuminating gas system needs look-
ing after. another that tells that
than are too many stuff hangings
and upholstcrlss in the house. that
they should be shaken out in the air
to get rid of their scent of silk and
wool and moth balls.
