be one of the best and most popular ways

Luncheon Guests

Dear Madam-When giving a luncheon and
bridge party fOr debutante YOU supposed to
get the list of her friends and invite them,
whether you know them not, do you both
make the list out together? We do not know the
same girls. Do you think that a luncheon is
the incest thing 20 give for girls, or would YOU
suggest something different ID.
The question of whom to invite to a debu-
tante luncheOn--or any luncheon given for
another person, for that matter--s largely
a matter of personal choice. II is a gracious
thing to consult with your guest Of honor
as to whether she would like some of her
special friends invited, and it IL perfectly
good form for you to ask them even il
you have never met them--in fact it is
often done. On the other hand it would
be perfectly all right for you to invite
your own friends to meet the debutante. 4
luncheon is quite one of the incest affairs
to give just for girls, unless you give a
matinee party and have tea afterward at
one of the hotels

Will Reflects Eighteenth Century

HAvE you lost your pep? Are you

Of year when many of us are suffering
from colds or the effects of grip, and
somehow 1t seems impossible to get back
into trim again.
II you are feeling like this take few
days off and get out of town.
OF course, you will say that this is
your busy season. and you simply cant
spare the time. or that you can't afford
such luxury as few days or week
at the shore.
But 1t is curious how, when you are
one to take your place, temporarily, at
least, and. too. you do manage to afford
the doubtful luxury OF a. spell of sickness,
even though you feel you must foreso
some Of the clothes you had coveted for
your spring wardrobe.
Sickness Is one 'of the most dis.
couraging things in life Feeling mis-
cradle, one feels that nothing is worth
while after ALL Work loses its compen-
sations and play is just a bore. Misfor.
tunes seem TO pile up at time like this:

worms" But remember that, although
you may not owe 1t to others to pull
yourself up-and I am not so sure this
is the Gase-you owe yourself little con.
