This girl is starred
as the
perfect guest because
SHE seldom changes her plans, always makes clear the date of her arrival and the date of her departure. (This does help in a small and busy house.)
SHE is always cheerful and considerate, ready to full in with any plans ber hostess has made for entertaining her. SHE is always willing to help in the garden er take the dogs for a walk.
If she has a dog of her own she always asks beforehand If she may bring it with her instend of calmly arriving with it.
SHE Indicates its breed and sex, its little fol- bles-bad well as good-and its opinion of cata and children, so that her hostess is well prepared.
SHE doesn't behave like a convalescent the first few days just because she had a tiring jour- ney.
SHE is courteous to the servants; she doesn't keep them running errands, nor give orders nor expect them to give the service, of å personal mald, SHE doesn't spoil the children, although it's very easy for "Aunty" to amuse the "tle darlings"

SHE doesn't make numerous telephone calls and forget to pay before leaving-it's surprising how these calls add up.
SHE doesn't suggest outings that host and hostess can't afford: nor use the house as a centre of rest in between her own outside ninusements,
SHE doesn't leave cigarette ash in the bed- clothes if she smokes in bed, or read halt the night with all the lights full on.
SHE conveniently goes for a walk when the rooms are obviously upside-down, or tactfully naks her hostess if she lend a hand in tidying them,
SHE realises that even a one-day stay is worth a little note of "Safely arrived and thank you for a lovely time." For which thought alone she deserves to be starred as the guest her hostess wants to invite again.
