LONG DINNERS BANNED
BY MAYFAIR HOSTESSES
Women Believe King Edward Was
Right in Placing One-Hour
Limit on Affairs.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
LONDON Mayfair hostcsses have
decided that King Edward was right
when he said that no person should be
kept at the dinner table more than an
hour. Therefore, London dinners from
now on are to be shorter.
This decision was reached by host
csscs because the London dinner had
been lengthened and heightened until
it occupied just about the entire eve
ming. especially when there was no
dancing. But the long dinner was never
really popular In fact the longer they
became the more and more they were
considered bore. and there has been
something Of falling off of acceptances
of certain invitations of hosteSses who
have earned namse for giving long
drawn -out dismal meals.
Restaurant dinners are quite differ
cnt however. it is pointed out, being
3roken by dancing.
When King Edward decided that an
hour was sufficient for any man, he
furthermore let 1t be known that he
would never visit house twice If he
were expected to sit at table more than
so or 60 minutes. OF course, there
after. dinners we're just that short
