EARNING A "GOOD TIME."

Many a young giri who enjoys Jilitie opportunity for a "good time" at horn* may participate m some .ery pleasant holidays and ouJangs with well-to-do friends if ah t is sufficiently tactful and enterprising to conform to their mods of life and makes herself agreeable enough to become useful and in dcirmnd. People soon begin to rely on an attractive jjiii «.ttu u imany to iuuke one at the bridge table, and can, besides, play a really good game; who is delighted to show anyone the new Charleston step*; or will display pleasure at a shopping expedition in which she is ©spotted t<» fetch and carry, ihey ask her again and again ll she is at their over the phone, and wilbng at short notice to slip into a pretty evening Jrock to complete a party at the dinner table, for the theatre, or * dance, if an expected guest fails the hostess, she thinks of that "nice little gtrl" who seams very pleaaed to step into the vacant place, without display of injured dignity that she ha# previously only been invited at the tart moment, and has an amusing food of conversation to help entertain other guests. And when she baa enjoyed a good time aba doesn"' forget to thank her kind hostess warmly and prettily, with an immediate note, if it is a more important occasion, attentions which art appreciated and duly remembered in her favour. The g;ri will find tennis, golf, and, indeed, any sports iiseful accomplishments, and if she can sit at the piano and accompany well, or rattle off dance mask, so much the better. She can easily make heisetf very morli hkisd, and almost indispensable to the woman with no daughters of her own, or without a companion, if she has • cheerful smiie and an eager readings# to I* of use on any occasion, especially if she also knows the tactful moment at which it is better to efface herself. Her efforts to be agreeable and necessary a.?# more than repaid by tha many oppcrtarnties she gains of meeting peopU and participating in functions denied to most girls with small income. gtich an ordering ot her life is hardly, in character with the very independent, or the selfish typo of giri, who will not, trouble herself to studv other people, even to her own ultimate advantage, bat to th* one with naturally pleasant manners and adaptable nature, 'the part comes easily.
