Whenever Two People Come Together And Their

Courtesy Demands That You, When You Are A Guest, Shall Show Neither Annoyance Nor Disappointment--no Matter What Happens.

Rather Be Frumpy Than Vulgar! Much. Frumps Are Often Celebrities In Disguise -- But A Person Of Vulgar Appearance Is Vulgar All Through.

The Good Guest Is Almost Invisible, Enjoying Him Or Herself, Communing With Fellow Guests, And, Most Of All, Enjoying The Generous Hospitality Of The Hosts.

The Fact That Slang Is Apt And Forceful Makes Its Use Irresistibly Tempting. Coarse Or Profane Slang Is Beside The Mark, But "flivver," "taxi," The "movies," "deadly" (meaning Dull), "feeling Fit," "feeling Blue," "grafter," A "fake," "grouch," "hunch" And "right O!" Are Typical Of Words That It Would Make Our Spoken Language Stilted To Exclude.

The Only Occasion When The Traditions Of Courtesy Permit A Hostess To Help Herself Before A Woman Guest Is When She Has Reason To Believe The Food Is Poisoned.
