.SVE’S RAMBLINGS.
calamari AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
or THEM. ‘
Many a young wife, especially if her
means are small, fancies that it will be
economical and right, to give up all
society—thinks that it is her duty “to
devote herself,” as she calls it, “to her
husband and home,” and to these
alone.
“We have one another, we shall not
want any other society, ” she says, and
no doubt at the time She believes this
to be the truth, but later she is almost
sure to discover that she made a mis-
take in so thinking and saying.
Flirnoone can or should live entire-
.ly'lfor and to themselves. A certain
amount of social intercourse is abso-
lutely necessary for those who desire to
lead happy, cheerful, useful- lives-
“But with our 'small means," some
young housekeeper will exclaim, “we
cannot afford to entertain,” and she is
right.“ ‘
B'é’bpl‘e with small means cannot do
so, for to entertain properly costs a
great deal of money. It is, however,
not. necessary, nor is it expected, of
young married people who havejust
started housekeeping, and whose means
are small, “to entertain,” but they can
be hospitable, and see their friends
quietly, without any great expense be-
ing incurred, and to show hospitality is
whateverybody should try -to do.
Between hospitality and en tertain-
ing there is an immense difference, al-
though a great many people refuse to
see it, and therefore decide that be-
cause they cannot do the one, they will
not even attempt to do the other.
As a rule, men do not trouble about
small matters of etiquette. A great
many of them, in fact, would not even
notice whether any little detail was
correct or incorrect, unless their at-
tention was called to the subject by
their female belongings.
Woman, however, notice any little
mistake at once, and this is as it should
be, for upon the woman‘falls the ar-
rangement and performance of all
social duties.
She it is who sends out the invita-
tions, to whom the replies are address—
ed, and who receives the guests on
their arrival, and it is her reception of
them that gives, as it were, the key-
note to the party, for however cordial,
hospitable and pleasant a host may be.
if the hostess is not the same, none of
the guests will be at ease, or feel that
they are welcome.
In showing hospitality, let simplicity
be your keynote. Never attempt to do
or have anything beyond what your
means Justify. When having a friend
or a few friends to dinner, keep strict-
ly to those things that are in season,
then you may be sure that they will
not be expensive, and yet they will be
good. -
A plain dinner, well cooked and
nicely served, is in far better tasté‘ and
much more appreciated than any
amount of made dishes badly cooked
and badly served. So no wise mistress
would or should attempt more than she
:leelssure her household is capable of
accomplishing.
True hospitality means the doing
and giving—freely and heartily—the
best you can, and of the best you have.
llf, as often happens in a small house-
hold, and with a young hostess, any
little mistake is made, or some small
thing is forgotten, it is better to let
the matter pass, if unobserved. '
Calling attention to it before guests
,fioes no real good, but it often makes
those present feel uncomfortable, and
in all probability many of them would
not have noticed~that anything had
been overlooked, or any error com-
mitted, if their attention had not been
attracted to it by their host or hostess.
In all these cases silence is, indeed,
golden. "
