To The Old Saying That Man Built

The Only Occasion When The Traditions Of Courtesy Permit A Hostess To Help Herself Before A Woman Guest Is When She Has Reason To Believe The Food Is Poisoned.

Children Are All More Or Less Little Monkeys In That They Imitate Everything They See. If Their Mother Treats Them Exactly As She Does Her Visitors They In Turn Play "visitor" To Perfection. Nothing Hurts The Feelings Of Children More Than Not Being Allowed To Behave Like Grown Persons When They Think They Are Able.

In Popular Houses Where Visitors Like To Go Again And Again, There Is Always A Happy Combination Of Some Attention On The Part Of The Hostess And The Perfect Freedom Of The Guests To Occupy Their Time As They Choose.

Any Child Can Be Taught To Be Beautifully Behaved With No Effort Greater Than Quiet Patience And Perseverance, Whereas To Break Bad Habits Once They Are Acquired Is A Herculean Task.

Never Take More Than Your Share - Whether Of The Road In Driving Your Car, Of Chairs On A Boat Or Seats On A Train, Or Food At The Table.
