When You Have
A Talented Guest
THE INVITATION WITH
A STRING TO IT.
The other evening I eat at dinner next
to a girl whom I knew by reputation as
a talented Finger.
During our conversation I gleaned that
ahe wax worried for fear f»he would be
asked to sing.
She told ms how all dav she had been
working very hard and how tired ahe
was. and that Rhe did not want to ulna,
especially after a meal, and yet dread
ed the ordeal of refusing.
And sure enough, after the dinner a
autnfoer of the guests Insisted on her
-cowing off her talent. It was, Indeed,
■wy'i treat dlffti ulty and considerable
tßTtoaeraswment that she "got out of it.”
Y.’lth a great sigh of relief, sha turn

“I hata to appear to be rude, and yet
I want to relax and have a good time
like the other people, without having
to try to live up to rny record when J
leaht feel like it."
It is truly remarkable how incon
siderate people are of their talented
guests It. is certainly unfair to invite
a lot of people, many of whom have had
nothing to do but get ready for the
party, and entertain them through the
efforts of another Invited guest who has
doubtless worked hard all day at her
talent.
After all. it is a poor compliment to
Invite anybody to your home and then
ask him or her to entertain your guests.
It is h very little removed from ask
ing them to pay for their invitation.
People, especially professionals, resent
this, and rightfully.
There is no more reason for you to In
vjt*» Mary Nightingale to your home to
dinner and insist on her singing than
It is for you to ask Mr. Moneybags to
bring his books and show you how to
makes his money.
An invitation to a talented person
should not imply an obligation to show
what ho can do.
On the contrary, the host or hostess
who really aims to please her guests
takes si**' ial rare to make them nee
that her interest Is to entertain them
and not that they do the entertaining.
Jhave always found that the best wgy
to treat talented people or profesßionsts,
whose daily or nightly grind Is. enter
taining. Is to let them alone I —to do as
they please; and nine times out of ten
they will voluntarily do their share of
being agreeable even to the point, of
presenting their specialty.
As a general proposition true artists
love their work, and when they are In
the mood they are only too delighted
to have people get pleasure out. of their
performance
As one great pianist «ald to me, “I
love to play for people whom T think
really want me to play, but I hate to do
It when It is expect.fd of me aa a part of
the evening’s programme.”
A "funny” man, a stage celebrity,
gives an instance of how he was In
vited to dinner and found one of the
members of the family with a pad and
pencil to take down all he said
True hospitality in the Inst analysts
lies in making a person feel the pleasure
of being entertained, even though he
himself contributes to the entertaining
If is a poor invitation that has a
string attachment of obligation.

Women Will Get Vote Too Late
To Help Choose Next President
(By MARGUERITE EDWARDS.)
Jun» , 1919. seems destined to put the
vote into the hands of American women—
just too late to make if of much effect in
th«> national elections of November. 1920.
WH V ?
Because, to become effective, the suf
frage amendment to the constitution must
be ratified bv thirty-six state legislatures.
The last bi-ennial session of the ma
jority »f state legislatures convened In
January, 1919, and adjourned a few weeks
later —to meet no more until January,
1921—one month too late to let the ladies
in on choosing the next president.
In order to ratify the amendment In
time for the 1920 elections at least twen
ty-five state governors would have to
summon the legislatures in special ses
sion!
The chances are that that will NOT
be donel
As a result, the women in the. twenty
three states already enjoying full or pres
idential suffrage as a result of state ac
tion, will he the only ones to participate

in the next national elections, while their
Histers who have just attained the vote by
federal amendment —keep on waiting pa
tiently.
Six other states. Georgia. Massachu
setts, Now Jersey, New York, Rhode Isl
and and South Carolina, hold annual in
stead of bi-ennial legislative sessions, and
so might possibly add six votes of ratifi
cation. But, even should the five southern
states and the six annual session states
all ratify the suffrage amendment their
total of eleven votes would still leave
twenty-five state ratifications needed to
complete the thirty-six required.
And all of the twenty-five would have
to be summoned in special session to
vote!
Therefore the old-line politicians who
count on "influence" and "control" and
"tied-up” votes will not have to lie awake
nights worrying over the unknown quan
tity of the women’s vote THIS election.
At the same time, while suffragist*
win be unabk t<% take full advantage of
their new franchise privflege in Novem
ber, 1920. the vote of women will be of
considerable Importance In that election.
Fifteen states grant their vonwn full
suffrage, their total female population of
women eligible to vote numbering 7.303,-
288. with a total of 137 eectoral votes.
Eight other states grant women presi
dential suffrage, with approximately 4.-
000.0000 women voters and 97 electoral
votes. Two more states give women the
vote at presidential primaries.
The grand total of women who may
freely approach the 1920 ballot boxes, in
dependent. of the federal amendment—are
In number, 13,000,000. controlling 263 elec
toral votes and representing twenty-five

Advice On Courtship
And Marriage
BY BETTY VINCENT.
THE SPIRITUAL FORCE OF A JOB.
If it is true in business that "nothing
succeeds like success,” it is even truer
in courtship that the man with the good
job wins the girl whbre the man with the
job still “to get" loses out.
No matter now attractive the jobless
lad may be, or how prosaic the one with
the pay envelope, the girl in the case is
apt to see attraction wherever the safe
prospects are.
The reason for this may not even be
conscious on the part of the, girl. She
may honestly and fervently think she is
more in love with the prosperous chap
than with the other. You know the sav.
ing: “It's as easy to love a man with
money as one without." Well, with the
average girl, it is easier. Remember
that for centuries women have been
brought up to believe their best way of
earning a living was to marry one. They
have come to confuse love with all sorts
of other things—practical things, or
pleasant things. A girl Is often in love
with love, when she thinks she’s in love
with the mam It is the homage she
loves. The flattery of having some one
care. The attentions, the gifts and the
compliments.
Likewise she things she loves the man
with the good position, whereas it is
the position she is in love with. She
endows the man with virtues and at
tractions he does not possess just be
rause he is a prosperous man and has

the power success throws round him.
This power is not always imagined
either. The possession of the job act
ually strengthens the man’s character
and personality.
To “A. E. F.” therefore. I would say,
“Go after a good job with might and
main.” If you cannot land the best po
sition in the world, try to land the
next best. But land something It is
easier to get a job FROM a job than
from nothing.
I believe the girl's admiration for you
will pick up immediately. If it does
not, take a careful inventory of yourself
and find wherein you fall short of your
rival’s attractiveness.
If by any mischance you do not find
work, it is more than ever necessary that
you take an inventory of yourself. The
returned soldier with the overseas chev
ron should have little trouble if he can
do some one thing well. If ydu cannot
do any one thing well, but have a desire
to, then choose the work you would iike
best to do and ~o systematically after it.
Remember that personality is the most
valuable think a job-seeker can possess.
Took neat, be as well-dressed as possi
ble, stand straight and speak distinct
ly. _Talk up. Be afraid of nobody. Im
press the boss that you are enthusiastic
and willing. Bear in mind that intel
ligence is as valuable as experience.
All this advice applies as well to the
landing of a girl as to the landing of a
job!

No—not washing powder—but
Powdered Soap!
A great boon to the household.
Use it wherever you would use
lordinary soap but with less
bother, less waste, and with
better results.
Just a tablespoon in any kindwf
•water, hard or soft, cold or hot,
and you get the most glorious,
cleansing suds without the ex
travagance of wasting bar soap.
It will not harm the finest silks or
softest flannels—and it is so kind
to the hands.
