In the Woman's Home Companion
contributor writes as follows about
what most people would consider the
silliest kind Of hostess:
Lately l revisited my former home,
the first trip back in years. / had
visions en- route Of gay succession
of calls on the dear old friends, stay
ing for luncheon here and dinner
there, spending the evening with
each in turn.
II was the house guest of former
chum, and ! soon found that, with
the best intentions in the world, she
had arranged program for my en-
tire stay Her object, it seemed, was
that / should meet all the strangers
she had added to her calling list
since my departure. Now and then,
ut luncheon, or tea or afternoon card
party, saw familiar face, and was
soon deep in "reminiscences, but al
ways my hostess interrupted with
her insistent: oh, you know Mrs
Blank! Con and meet Mrs. Dash.
$50 it happened that got to see
but few of my own friends, and
those few by stealth, so to speak, as
had to run around paying hurried
calls between scheduled social events.
so ! feel that | should warn those
who expect to entertain homecomers
that reviving old friendships is far
more delightful than gathering the
most charming bouquet of new ac-
quaintances."
