Hospitality shares what it has.  It does not attempt to give

what it has not.  The finest hospitality is that which welcomes

you to the fireside and permits you to look upon the picture

of a home life so little disturbed by your coming that you are

at once made to feel yourself a part of the little symphony.

When people assume to entertain socially they should not give

a false showing of themselves or of their means.
