If any rule of procedure may be laid

when the host goes to town, It is a
gaffe method, if he goes early, and es

more than one household in the sum-
mer the same people who turn night

It is better for guests to err on the
glide of going too soon than too late,
for nothing will make strangers more
unpopular than to overturn the com-
fortable habits of the household.
Host and hostess are not required to

may have retired to theirs, but they
are obliged to stay up If the stranger
makes no move to retire,
It is by no means difficult, even for
a person making a first visit, to sug:

tired from having been so much out
of doors, or that the heat is rather
trying, or any other such simple ex.
cuse as may come into her mind, and
declare that she would like to retire.
She makes her good-nights then at
once, and the host and hostess are at
liberty to follow thelr usual customs.
