WOMAN AND ENTERTAINING
How many chances of friendship aro lost because of a difference in nicomo! Mrs. Smith-Johnson keeps two or three maids and a good car, and can entertain on a lavish scale, but although she finds little Mrs. Drown a delightful woman tliev rarelv meet.
Mrs. Brown does not like to accept her invitations becauso she feels she cannot ask her back to her tiny house, and so tho chance of a life-long friendship is lost. For tho woman who is worth anything does not conic to your house because your cakes are so good, but because she wants to see you. So ninny people say th.oy " can't afford to entertain" becauso "entertaining" to them means serving all sorts of luxuries that they rarely have themselves and wlr'cb therefore aro unnecessary.
If people thought less of " visitors" and more of " friends" we should be happier, remarks a writer.
