ti0ns to parties she was anxious 10
attend When questioned by friend,
she replied Il can't go out, for
can't afford to entertain. and I'm not
going to be a sponge"
That is most foolish attitude. So

there Is no law compelling hostess
10 dispense her favors. so the girl who
receives an invitation from one 10
whom she is not Indebted may be
sure she h wanted.
There Is another alternative than
tuttins society, which Is TO have the
courage % entertain simply. II docs
