of lair practice at:

a ..." See if you can fulfill the wish. If
you discover a specialty shop your
host loves or would love, send a gift
certificate. One of my favorite gifts
I've received was gift certificate and
what a madcap spending spree I had!
As a guest, you will love everything.
You will love the view, you will love
the children, you will love the poodle.
You will find the bed comfortable, the
food delicious and the schedule alto-
gether suitable.
The perfect guest immediately falls
into the routine of the household
instead of keeping different hours, like
breakfast at ten when everyone else ate
at seven. If you share a bath you
should check to see who showers in
the a.m. and who showers in the p.m.
and plan your shower accordingly. You
will not say, "Can you keep the chil-
dren quiet while I take my afternoon
nap." They cannot. While you can
expect the host to make everything as
agreeable as possible, where they fail,
you do not complain.

Jumping In
As a guest, you jump in to pay for a
share of the tabs. "You paid for last
night's dinner, let me get this one,"
you say.
When things go unexpectedly
wrong, it's time to quit acting like an
honored guest and pitch in and help
out. Our son-in-law won our hearts
when the wasps attacked— and did I
mention that the pipe under the
kitchen sink broke the same
evening— by taking bug spray in
hand first and the mop second. His
deeds that evening endeared him to
us more quickly than if he had just
been the perfect guest on a perfect
evening. Make your bed daily unless
the household employs help. Before
you leave, ask the host where to put
the used linen. Leave your bath clean
and neat.
Naturally, you will express your
appreciation for your host's hospitality
as you leave. Even so, you must write
a thank-you note soon, meaning the
very next day. Why wait? If your visit
was delightful, write while your
delight is hot. If less than delightful,
get it over with.
Memorable experiences that you
have had as a house guest will make
your next occasion as a host even bet-
ter. Happy visiting!
