THIS HOSTESS
WASN'T TOO.
TOUCHY
BY Mrs. Cornelius Beck
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
We, my husband, son and I,
have a standing invitation for q
birthday supper. I had an invita-
ton to take an automobile ride
as far as - in a different
State, on the same date. My
husband and son went as usual
to the birthday dinner and I
asked them to carry my regrets.
This caused hard feelings. The
lady thought was lacking in
not informing her that I would
not be present. Kindly let me
know If this was a breach Of
etiquette.
EFT.
It may seem ungraciouS Of me
to take exception to your pou.t
of view about this, but since I
assume that you wish me to be
honest and helpful, must say
that do think that your friends
were justified in being hurt at
your caSualness concerning their
kind invitation. It was impor-
tant that you should tell your
hostess whether or not you were
coming to her party. And since
this Is a standing invitation to
this birthday party, it was even
more important that you should
have let her know that you were
not coming. Quite naturally,
since she did not hear from you,
she assumed that you we're COM
ing. And when your husband
and son arrived without YOU, it
was, think, most natural that
she should have been socially
hurt at your negligence. Birth
day parties are occasions Of
great Importance, and the fact
that the party was to celebrate a
birthday must have added an
extra hurt to the hostess or host,
or both. For your husband and
son to convey your regrets" was
too late and too unconcerned
and too casual.
You should repair this
thoughtlessneSs, if you can, by
going to see this friend of yours,
explaining to her your sorrow at
your thoughtlessness, and ask -
ing, most sincerely and deeply.
her forgiveness. Or, if you can
not go to see her, write her a let
ter of explanation and gracious
and sincere apology.
