word there is
B always the considerate thought.
Behind the word of comfort
there is the desire to comfort. It is
this fact that makes them worth
while . For instance. if you accident-
ally break a. piece of bric-aLbrac at
a friend's house and she assures you
that it is H. matter of not the slight-
est moment you may really know
that she is just as much distressed
over the loss of the treasure as an-
other acquaintance who looks very
much annoyed and says nothing to
mmrort you. But you realize that
the first friend possessed enough re-
card for you and censideration not
to wish you to be upset over the
accident. while the other was so sel-
fish that she‘ thought only of her
own loss. - '
As a rule the more crude the per-
son the less inclined or able he is to
veil his first emotional! he is vexed
he lets you know it. He has not
mastered that very necessary social
attribute of controlling his feelings
to the extent of not making them
crudely apparent. With persons of
this sort there is bound to be fric-
tion and’dlscord.
So it is that in ordinary every-day
etiquette of the street. the shop, the
store. the home nd the office we
have devised such little terms as “I '
beg your pardon." “Pray excuse
mo," “It is my fault. I am sure."
"Don't give the matter a moment’s
thought," “May I be of assistance to
you." Using thorn. is a matter of
habit, Just as the use of “please"
and "Thank' you” are. Children
usually imitate their parents in this
matter. and those who early acquire
the habit find it or social asset
through life. Moreover it is a stamp
of good breeding. for in the home of
real breeding timeie taken for these
little acts of courtesy.

Morning Calls ,
iF’rY years and more ago morn-
F ing calls were fashionable.
"The most proper time for
such visits," says an old book on
etiquette. “is between eleven and
two o‘clock; if our people are peo-
ple of fashion, rom twelve to three
will be the beat hours." .
brow no one needs to be told now-
ndnys that about the worst time to
buy a call would be between twelve
and three. A social call between ten
and twelve would be almost as bad.
Many women make a. distinction
between social calla business
calls. They include in the utter list
calls paid regarding some organi-
zation, club or charitable subject.
it is always inconsiderate, how
ever. to call on a woman who does
her own housework in the morning.
You may embarrass her very much
by finding her carelessly dressed
and her house in disorder.» Yet for
some reason or other women who
have no household duties like to
drop in on their housewifely friends
in the mornin ’ Camden-such should
prompt a ephoned message he-
forehnnd, that will give the friend
an opportunity to be W 101'

The Bridge
Hostess
HE tactful hostess does not salt
tyros at the game of bridxe to
play with those who enjoy
playing a. careful game. If possible
always ask enough guests’bo that
with yourself included you will have
a number divisible by four. Unless
you are giving a. vent large party
it, is better to play yourself. How-
_ ever, if there are guests invited for
‘ thJ afternoon or evening who do not
Join in the bridge then it is better to
leave yourself'out of the number It
the tables. , .
Before your guests arrive your.
tables should be' set in place. It is
now customary to have covers on
all of the tables. held securely in
placeby snappers or tapes at the
corners. It is inconsiderate to your
guests to ask them to play on soiled
or dingy tables.
The tables should be marked one.
two. three. etc, This may be done
by large letters or by simply turn-
ing one of the packs of cards placed
on the table so that the number on
tap is the one to mark the number
of the table. s, .
If your guests are expert bridge
players do not fail to have two
packs at each table. '
.1: you have many guests. all of
whom are not acquainted. it is
sometimes; dim uit to make intro-
ductions befo , the playing begins.
The tactful hostess watches the
tables and sees when strangers are
to play at the same table. and then
makes the needed introduction. If
she falls to do this, players should
introduce theme tree or each other.
On each table before beginning to
play there should be a carefully
sharpened pencil. preferably one
witha. rubber tip. There should be
a. printed score card with any devia-
tions from the printed rules written
in. The hostess. of course. should
be the one who determines the exact
tons to be followed in the game.

the unpardonnble social errors. Be-

That Anniversary
0 every happily married couple
I the wedding anniversary is a
day of more moment than the
birthday anniversary. and then the
wedding anniversary per-u is a.
great deal more important than a
birthday celebration.
Sometimes the aim is to reproduce
as nearly an poafily the wedding
ceremony and original wedding par-
ty. To that end as many as possible
of the original wedding guests and
bridal party are assembled, brides-
inside and ushers of the .oriflnsl
event coming from mile away to do
honor to the day. The time set for
the annivermry is then plead at
the exact time of the mdding. and
sometimes there is an attempt to
have the bridal pair actually remar-
ried by. the very minister who made
them man and wife years before.
. While this is a. very pretty custom
it is best not to attempt too great
imitation of the original wedding on
it maybe less interesting to the
guests than to the bride and groom
purposes“: is best to give the narty
in the evening. no matter at what
time the original wedding was held.
For the first anniversary when the
original bridal party mmbe assem-
bled. the nicest universal-s- is a lit—
.tle dinner party at which the brides-
maids. maid of honor. beet man and
ushers are present. For such an an-

pushed their ‘way up to a
crowded lunch counter in the
back of a popular confectioner‘e ee-
tabllshrnent where shoppers and
business women resort for a hasty
luncheon. .They slid into two chairs
Just vacated. though others hadoome
before them. Then they presented
tw° checks for "sundaes" the
white-coated young man behind the
counter. It was a rule of the estab-
lishment that only "not lunches"
should be served at this counter-—
"fountain drinks" being served at a
small counter in the front of the
store. The young man told the
pretty girls‘ he could not serve them
and quoted the rule of the store to
them.
"I know flint,” drswled the pret-
tiest of the two girls. and she really
was amazingly pretty. 'But you’re
going to serve me, 1 know."
The young man. contused. assured
them politely that he wasn't.
1then they proceeded to exert the
kind of pereuasiveness popularly
known as “Jolly." One of the girls
told him that she had never seen the
man sho couldn't manage and the
other tooed to him that she could
just tell he was a dear.. kind soul.
and they beamed on. seemingly ob-
livious of the current of irritation of
the other customers. Eventually the
young man. very much “r tied,"
got the sundaes in questio and
went about his other orders.
Then the girls went, no doubt feel-
ing that their prettinees had again
smoothed out one of the rough
places of life's road.
But the young man looked after
them with relief and shame because
he had so obviously “fallen for" their
“kidding.“
"Say, can you beat them." he re-
marked to whoever wanted to heed
him.
‘There are really a great many
pretty and beautiful women who
never are guilty of gaining Special
