Guests—Hints For the Entertained
By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER
There are so many more guests than
there are hostesses that there must, of
necessity, be more discourtesies per
petrated by the entertained than by
the entertainers. And they do perpe
trate them.
First of all. one of the most com
mon errors of th«* careless guest In
posse is committed before he goes to
the house of his would-be hostess. It
consists of his frequent neglect in re
plying to an Invitation. Those who
are punctilious in such matters little
'know how many persons are regard
less of the notes inviting them to
various functions.
"Oh, another invitation!" sighs the
much-sought-after-man, tossing it
upon his desk. "I'll answer it after
a while."
There it lies, forgotten. Surely the
way to social perdition might be paved
with unanswered invitations.
Men are not the only sinners In this
respect. The busy woman, unless she
employs a social secretary, sometimes
forgets her acceptance or regret.
The invitation once accepted there
are such well-known rules as to what
one should do that the "wayfaring
man though a fool" could scarcely go
astray sufficiently to ignore them. It
is needless call attention to the
fact that one should be punctual In
arriving at a dinner or luncheon at the
hour named. I say It is needless —and
yet, is it?
Have we not all waited in the draw
ing-room before a dinner while our
hostess tried bravely to conceal her
annoyance at the tardiness of some
gue^—knowing all the while that the
dinner was being "done to death" or
that the raw oysers were getting warm
and the souffle cold and sodden? So,
perhaps, after all, It is not superfluous
to remind the reader that guests are
sometimes late.
RASH ON CHILD
ITCHED AND BURNED
Covered Entire Face. Very Cross.
Could Scarcely Sleep Day or
Night. Used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Sores Disappeared.
179 Pennsylvania Ave., Phoenlxvllle, Pa.
—"The rash that appeared on my little
child's face was in spots which covered the
entire face and forehead. They itched and
burned her so that she scratched causing
■ores to form. It made her very cross and
rile could scarcely sleep either day or night.
I tried various cores but without success.
At last I tried the Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment and in two days the little red pimple*
showed signs of disappearing. After using
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment for a week
these sores disappeared and she was cured."
(Signed) Mrs. M. E. Freed, July 5, 1913.
ERUPTION IN RASH ON SCALP
637 Forster St., Harrisbarg. Pa.—"There
was a slight eruption on my scalp in the
form of a rash. My scalp itched and burned
▼ery much at times especially when my
head became heated. My hair fell out grad
ually and was dry and lifeless and also very
thin. At t±ie advice of a friond I tried Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment. I washed my
icalp in warm suds of Cuticura Soap and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. After
three weeks the Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment cured me of scalp trouble." (Signed)
Mrs. Wra. Thompson, March 18, 1913.

MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG flflijiflfl TELEGRAPH JUNE 1, 1914.
Hut many functions are of the kind
that reach from one hour to another
so that the participant may appear
when it suits his or her convenience.
Such being the case, why does he or
she—it is usually she—sometimes ar
rive before the first hour named on
the invitation, for Instance, at three
thirty when the cards for the tea she
is attending state specifically "from
four to sevfen"?
But when the guest has come at
the proper time and is safely en
sconced in the drawing-room, her
duties have only begun. For, deny it
as we may, the guest, as well as the
hostess, has her duties. One of these
is to be as agreeable as possible to
anyone whom Bhe chances to meet
Even if she does not know the per
son touching elbows with her she is
quite right in speaking to her and In
chatting of the "nothings that make
up life."
The hostess, unable perhaps to lei -t>
her position on what one man tern
"the firing line"—or, in other words
the place where she must stand to re-«
ceive here guests— will feel her heart
lighter and herself less burdened by a
sense of responsibility if she sees peo
ple conversing happily together.
Therefore, nobody has a right to be a
wall-flower. If one is too difficult to
talk with a stranger within a friend's
home one would best not go Into so
clety.
The veriest tyro in social life knows
Kiat one should greet one's hostess as
soon as one enters her drawing-room.
Few persons neglect to do this. As
much cannot be said about them when
they take their departure.
May it not be that in the rush and
absorption of everyday life we are
losing some of the sweet, old-time
courtesy which was, after all, very
lovely?

overlapped at the left of the front in place
of being seamed which gives a smart touch
and the finish can be made at either
the high or the natural waist line. When
the natural waist line is used, the finish
is made with a shaped belt. It is ex
ceedingly smart and generally becoming.

Wilmer and Vincent have sent to
Harrisburg for to-day, to-morrow and
Wednesday, as a three-day feature in
their Colonial Theater, a nine-reel
masterpiece of motion picture photo
graphy. It is the wonderful produc
tion of "Les Mlserables" from the cel
ebrated book by Victor Hugo, and tells
a thrilling story in picture that never
has been equalled in the records of
motion picture work. There will be
two acts on the bill with this big
picture, making'a. bill that will appeal
to all theatergoers. The picture Itself
will consume two hours in the show
ing, and Is booked at greater expense
than attaches the rental of any other
films on the market. This picture was
bonked for the Majestic Theater earlier
in the season at high prices, but owing
to a confusion of dates never reached
there. Now the public gets the bene
fit by seeing it at reduced prices.—Ad-
vertisement.
