To Be A Perfect Guest Score Encore With These 10 Tips On Entertaining NEW YORK When a special occasion or vacation takes you "on tour" of friends or relatives, you may receive critical acclaim by being a "guest-who-is-not-a- gucst." Knowing when to stay out of the spotlight at a hotel or motel and avoiding an ex tended run can be good ways to assure a return engagement. But no matter how long your stay, the follorwing tips in ten scenes may help you turn in a perform ance that’ll make you a hit with your hosts. 1. DON’T GKr OUT OF CHARACTER. When you’ve been invited to a party, resist the temptation to help throw it by showing oth(*r guests where to find things or by offering them food and drink, unU^ss youi hosts have stweifically asked yo- to lend a helping hand. You'll be usurping the hoste.ss’ place other wise. 2. UPSTAGING IS TABOO. Remember that your hosts are the true stars of the show, and that it’s up to you to play a sup porting role that will disiui)t ttu routine as little as possible. Foi instance, if you arrive by train, don’t phone from the station: take a cab instead. A phone call sounds suspiciously like a hint; if your hosts rou!<i h ive pickec’ you up, chances are they’d havt been waiting at the station. 3. UNDERPLAYINf; YOUR ROLE MAY ALSO MAKE YOU A SCENE-STEALER. Thcre’i such a thing as bein x overly mod est. At a dinner party. DON’T si* uncomfortably waiting until ev eryone at the table has heer served. Instead, help bring tha* curtvain up, serve yourself anr start the action rolling! If youi behavior is loo formal, you’l’ make your hosts feel uncomfort able. 4. ENTER ON CUE. Accord ing to etiquette experts, it’s pos sible to be too punctual, as well as too late. If you come in on top of their lines—that is, when they’re still rushing around get ting ready for you—you’ll just be underfoot. Fifteen minutes is "late enough’’ for a luncheon, dinner or card party, but there’ll probably bo some stomping and whistling from the audience if i_s up Bumper Crops Reduce Prices | Livestock Prices Change Little The nation’s storage bins are lina prices are expected to aver- bulging with bumper crops of ag;' between $1.45 and $1.55 per wheat, feed grains and soybeans, busiiol from now until July.

Never give medicine from an unlabeled bottle. Be fore measuring liquid medicine shake the bottle thoroughly each time. Don't give medicine in the dark: you may have picked up the wrong bottle. Health is precious . • let us help protect yours >ou keep them waiting much longer than that for dinner! .5. KNOW WHEN TA STAY BACKSTAGE. Whenyo u’ro week ending or staying longer, getting advance booking at a local hotel or motel helps give you and your hfwts a chance to enjoy your visit, while providing privacy and a •hance ff»r c’veryone to live at lis own pace. Plan to eat out at least some of the lime, rather ban makiiix your hosts the cap- dvo audience at every meal of 'the man who came to dinner." ’’or a pleasant surprise twist in the plot, why not treat them to i meal out? Hotels and motels feature some of the finest dining n town, and chances are there’ll be an exc'ollent restaurant at the hostelry where you stay. 6. DON'T .MUFF YOUR LINES. If your host hauls out he card table, and your hostess suggests a movie instead, don’t •eforee! Be politely non-com.mit- .al when they ask for your views. [f they won’t let you remain neu ral, agree with the more force- ul of the pair. Silence is golden, if "discussions” or just plain ar- Tuments erupt while you’re on the scene. 7. MAKE A GRAND EN- rUANCE arrive bearing gifts! Elandy, flowers or toys for the hildren are appropriate—and, ippreciatcd; so is a bottle of li j tuor usually. Whatever you give, nake sure it’s of high quality.! T’s for wiser, for example, to give a pound of fine candy than I two-pound "assortment". S. THE SHOW MUST GO ONj, , WFLN IK YOU MAKE A BLOOP-' ! S.li. If you spill the soup or •hacturo an heirloom vase in the .•ourse of your visit, apologize im mediately. One ‘Tm so sorry," and an offer to clean up the mess is sufficient. Replace a bad !y damaged object within two days. If you’ve shattered some thing irreplaceable, send flowers and a note the next day. 9. IMPROVING YOUR ACT ING ABILITY may help >*ou gel rave reviews. Some general tips: take a long-winded or clamlike guest off the hostess’ hands. Ap preciate her husband’s jokes. Not loudly, but promptly. Be on the lookout for do-it-yourself handi work a cabinet, a painting oi an enameled table -and voice your admiration of it. 10. DON’T PLAN ON AN EX TENDED RUN unless your hosts definitely ask you to stay long er. Tact, common sense and a littlee xtra-sensory perception are your best guides, but you can safely follow these rules-of- thumb: at an afternoon tea, "cof .00". or cocktail party which doesn’t include a buffet supper, leave at least an hour before the community dinner hour. If in vited to lunch, plan on staying ; one-and-a-half to two hours at I least. You should plan on three or three-and-a-half hours for din- 1 ner, but don’t stay much longer I unless you’re the very close friend ' of a night-owl host. 25 per cent in the state.
