The question was asked recently by
a prospective hostess" how long she
should wait for a delinquent guest who
= was invited for dinner. The answer
however is rather hard to give as II
depends upon how formal a Dime,
company it is, of course If the tardy
;, one is the honor guest, dinner must
be kept waiting. George Washington
never waited a meal for any guest
He said he respected his cook and hi:
j., dinner too much. Our first president
= also rebuked a late dinner guest, wht
= had probably ridden many miles II
break bread at Mount Vernon. by re
fusing to keep the meal waiting. l
is much less embarrassing to the lat
guest to find the dinner in full swing
instead of an angry host an indignan
hostess and hungry and sullen com
n pany.
