1 *ou«e guvsta enjoy a certain
■ -unt of freedom from entertaln-
m £ It la well for hostesses to re-
nt^ « »r thla when they are planning
■a l -.id of entertalnmenta for vlaltora.
Be aure to Include In the achedule
tome time each day In which the
guests can reat, write lettera. or Juat
be “on their own" aa the slang phrase
aptly puts It. Unless the hostess
does make allowance for such respite
for her visitor*, they will leave worn
out with the heaped-tip attentions.
One charming woman said to me
recently: "I nevpr make visits now.
They are too tak-
ing. The last place
I visited I felt like
a prisoner. I
couldn't even go
nut to mall a let-
ter. One of the
maids was Sent to
do It, or some one
In the family went
If the maids were
all busy. Every
minute was taken.
The hostess
thought she was
[laying me speclnl
attentions, but
what I wanted was
some time to my-
self. I wanted to
go out end mall
my letters. ... It
was a genuine re-
lief when I got
home and could do
some things I
wanted to without Interference. Oh.
of course, they didn't mean to Inter-
fere, but the entertaining was simply
too strenuous.”
Acquaintance With Affairs.
Another thing which visitors like Is
to be Informed of plans somewhat.
They like to know when the hostess
will be occupied. If they don't, they
Heads Legion Women
will feel like lost sheep, wandering
about thinking any moment they may
be wanted to do something or go some-
where. There are few hostesses who
can be every waking moment with
house guests. The call of duties about
the home or social duties Is Imperative.
When she has to attend to these. It Is
a courtesy to tell the guests that she
will be busy for a certain time or un-
til a definite hour. Then they can do
whatever she suggests and thinks they
will like, such as play tennis, turgor,
etc., or be free to do whatever they
prefer. The visitors will feel at lib-
erty to enjoy themselves In any
chosen way during this space of time.
Another thing which will help vis-
itors to enjoy being entertained Is to
have some sort of time schedule for
them to keep. For example visitors
should be told about hours of meals,
and nn.v established routine of the
home which they would he expected
to follow. Or. a list In the guest room
placed where It cannot full to be seen,
will relieve the hostess of the bother
ef mentioning the things.
Kind Words and Sarcasm.
Speaking well of others Is the es-
sence of good taste In conversation.
It Is a fundamental principle. Un-
kindly remarks weigh against the
speaker. Sarcasm Is a weapon to cut
friendships. There are times when
It can be used to flatten down unwar-
ranted criticism and unkindly tnuen-
does. Then It is used In a good
cause, hut It should he thus naed in
any personal conversation, and not
to bring a laugh at the expense of
another.
Slang ran he used, but sparingly.
No person who relies upon slang ex-
pressions to carry him through con-
versation has respect paid to what he
says. It can be used occasionally to
point a remark, and he effective and
not In bad taste. Swearing, like
slang, can become a habit It Is a
bad habit, one which must be correct-
ed or It becomes repugnant to listen-
ers. Profanity and cursing mark the
speaker aa a conversational degener-
ate.
Some or the things to avoid In con-
versation have been dwelt upon more
at length than what to use. because
flagrant errors are distinct harriers
that not only ban one from the aris-
tocracy of good taste as Indicated
through conversation, but from the
best society.

Woman Leave* Baby
at Gate of Palace
Sofia.—Late on a recent night
police noticed a woman lurking
furtively near the palace gates.
Seeing that she was observed, she
put down a large package she car-
ried and hurried away. The po-
lice, suspecting that the package
might contain a bomb, rushed out
and arrested the woman, but when
the package was opened a baby
was found Inside.
The woman explained that she
could not support the child, so had
decided to leave It where King
Boris might find It. She believed,
from what she had heard of his Joy
when Princess Marie Louise was
born In January, that he Is fond of
children, so she believed he would

LIQUIDITY
LEONARD A. BARRETT
The dictionary defines liquidity as
“the atate of being liquid, a condition
In which all parti-
cles move freely
among • them-
selves." When the
word Is applied to
economics It means
a financial condi-
tion In which money
can move freely.
Banks and business
concerns are liquid
when they possess
an adequate cash
reserve which saves
them from embar-
rassment In times
of financial strain.
Many of the lianka which failed dur-
ing the last few years were not In
a liquid condition even though they
may have been solvent. Their money
was Invested In loans which were
called froxen because the borrowers,
even though perfectly good and re-
liable, were not able to pay. Other
banks which bad kept more of their
cash In their vaults and had not loaned
money on real estate, or other col-
lateral which was susceptible of being
frozen, were able to meet the cash de-

mands upon them and were therefore
liquid. The very aame condition ap-
plies to business concerns. Many
failed or went Into bankruptcy be-
cause they needed cash with which to
pay their debts and Were not able to
borrow sufficiently to meet the de-
mands of creditors.
Liquidity la a condition which does
not create Itself nor la It the result of
mere chance or luck. The state of
being liquid la perhaps one of the most
difficult to attain. This Is true of the
Individual as well ns hanks and busi-
ness concerns. In days of prosperity,
when It appears that poverty Is for-
ever banished, we grow careless and
spend money upon things which we
could Just as well do without. Ex-
travagance ta the sin of every period
of prosperity. About seven years ago
s certain batik erected a new building
which It really did not need. It wns
a beautiful building and cost a large
sum of money which, of course, hav-
ing been Invested In brick and mor-
tar, was no longer available for circu-
lation. That bank failed to open Its
doors after the moratorium because
It did not have sufficient cash and
liquid securities to meet the demands.
People are susceptible to the. same
temptations and mistakes as are hanks
and business concerns. Liquidity
when applied to onr personal finances
simply means that we spend a little
leu than we earn. If we are more
concerned about the security of cap-
ital than exorbitant Interest returns
and avoid all axtravagance we may
create a reserve sufficient to forestall
bankruptcy.

Birthplace of Calvin
It Restored as Museum
Noyon, France.—If John Calvin were
to return to his home here he would
find It exactly u it was when he was
born In 1506. The house wu destroyed
during the World war, but has been
re-constructed and transformed Into
the Calvin museum.
A small chapel has been created In-
side of the Calvin home; a library of
Protestant history has been Installed.
New York.—Will the prince of Wales
—the prince of youth, as the world
halls him—be England's first bachelor
king In nearly two centuries?
That Is the query which runs
through the British empire as appre-
hension grows about the state of
health of King George V.
For fourteen years the world has
been romantically speculating as to
the prince’s choice for a companion
on the throne which must Inevitably
be his If he outlives his father. Many
eligible princesses have visited Eng-
land and left Jnst as eligible as they
came. The prince has squired them,
danced with them and been charming
to them as he Is to all ladles of all
ages, of all degrees, but as s wife he
would have none of them.
It Is one of the puzzles of the world
ns to why the prince, nearing forty,
has aide stepped bell, hook and candle.
He Will Never Wed?
England has come to believe that the
prince of youth has become a con-
vinced and convicted bachelor, and to
have privately made up his mind to
go It alone and mount the throne the
fliht unmarried king since George IU
was crowned In 1760.
The prince has never been the same
since the woll-nlgh fatal illness of his
father several years ago. There seems
little doubt that he planned at one
time to abdicate his right to succes-
sion; to retire to his ranch In Canada,
but the Indications now. such aa tbey
are. would seem to point to the fact
that he Intends to carry on—to go
through with It, to mount the throne
probably as Edward VIII—but, mind
you. as a bachelor.
Such being the case, who Is next In
line? None other. If you please, than

the birthdays of little Mary Elizabeth,
oldest child of the duke of York and
ns such heir presumptive to the Brit-
ish throne, take an Increasing Impor-
tance now that the bachelorhood of
the prince of Wales seems to be a set-
tled fact Half a century from now
It Is extremely probable that thla lit-
tle child of seven will be wearing the
crown of William the Conqueror.
She Is the blue-eyed, golden-haired
granddaughter of George V and Mary,
his queen, and today stnnda third In
succession, after the prince of Wales
and her father, to the rule of the
greatest empire since the Rome of Au-
gustus Caesar.
Carefully Trained.
From the moment of her birth Prin-
cess Elizabeth has been wrapped about
with the love of parents and devoted
grandparents, of cousins and uncles
and friends. She has been the object
of admiring affection from thousands
In England and beyond the seas who
have never seen her even.
The world’s best known little girl

She hat been going to church since
she was live, because Queen Mary

that balflneita la a purely phyalcal
defect. Millions of human beings

edy the trouble on that basis, bar-

perts that the cause was wholly
physical. We have auppoaed that
