LADY JEUNE.
- If we were asked to nam the most striking characteristic of the English people, the doubt we should unhesitatingly say their love of Hospitality. No people are so open-harided, so generons and kind in their weldome of friends, of anyone to whom they are anxious to show their regard, as we, and the expression of that feel ing finds its outlet in hospitality An English

To break bread with them and let them est our salt is a real proof that we admit they to the innermost place in our regard. It is not so with other people, except with the Americans, who share our feelings to the full for the hospitality of our cousins across the sea is a proverb..

The first rule to be laid down and rigidly adhered to is never to dine or go to the house of any you do not intend to ask in return, and always to begin by returning the hospitality of those who have extended it to you. That must be the golden rule of hospitality, and by adhering to it ons does olear & fow difficulties out of one's path.

The most difficult part of a dinner is to collect the guests, and it is always a problem whether it is best to invite people who know ach other woll or to vary it by inviting one or two who do not belong to any elique or set, but who are interesting and worth meeting from personal reasons. Education is so generel and so much improved that there is never likely to be anyone at a dinner table who does not know about the career of any distinguished gnert, and that at once makes a mirture of people profitable,
