Book Description

Excerpt from A Handbook of Hospitality for Town and Country Hospitality is one of the earliest virtues of civilization and one of the latest as well. Leaders of the Peace Movement recognize international hospitality as an important factor in promoting "Peace on Earth, Good Will toward Men." Its form must change with the development of mankind, but the essential spirit remains the same.
