To the Hostess.

_ “Stunt parties,” as college students term them, are not by any means restricted to dormitory and campus. In this age when the ability to amuse guests at a house party or at an informal evening gathering Is thoroughly appreciated by the hostess, every girl should be able to do her pari. There are always the popular girls who can dash off the latest musical hits on the piano, or who can sing them. Fancy dancing In the last few seasons has met with enthusiastic favor at parties where no special amusement has been provided by the hostess. Those who are not gifted musically must find some other means by which to entertain. The good oldfashioned art of listening is not difficult to cultivate, but it doesn’t seem quite so much in demand as It used to be.
