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 her hostess has made for entertaining her. SIE is always willing to help in the garden or take the dogs for a walk,

If she has a dog of her own she always asks beforehand if she inay bring it with her instead of calmly arriving with it.

SHE Indicates its breed and sex, its little fol- bles-bad as well as good-und Hs opinion of cats and children, so that her hostess is well prepared.

SHE doesn't behave ikke a convalescent the frst 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 a personal maid. SHE doesn't spoil the children, although it's very easy for "Aunty" to amuse the "little darlings":

-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 amusements.

SHE doesn't leave cigarette ash in the bed- clothes if she unokes in bed, or read half the night - with all the lights full on."

SHE conveniently goes for a walk when the rooms are obviously upside-down, or tactfully asks her hostess If the lend a hand in tldying them.

SHE reallees that even a one-day stay is worth a little note of "Safely arrived and thank you for a lovely tine. For whleh thought alone she deserves to be starred as the guest her hostess wants to invite again.

SHE arrived in her town clothes, thus giving her hostess the im pression that it was too much bother to change specially for the visit; and she brought only high-heeled shoes that ruled out all possibility of coun- try walks and country sports.

SHE cald she disliked animate, gave dogs with muddy paws dis- dainful looks, and indicated that she would like them shut out of the room at meal-times.

SHE is utterly uninterested in gardens, declared she wouldn't be seen dead with a trowel in her hand, and hinted that to walk round with her hostess to look at the flowers would be just too much effort.

SHE lolled back in a chair with a' book most of the day-didn't put herself out to be soctable with her hostess, and showed no enthusiasm for any suggestions made for her own entertainment.

SHE declared that ale couldn't sleep in the country because the quietness is overpowering and frightening. She liked breakfast in bed, and lap back among the pillows so that all the morning's housework was held up.

On being asked whether she would like to see a good picture she said "she didn't mind." Eventually she did go and her verdlet on it was "not bad."

SHE treated the house as un hotel, coming in' to meals only when she pleased, going out all day with her own friends, and frequently brought a crowd of them back to a meal without a word to her kostess.
