THE CASE OF MRS. \. MRS. Y
AND MRS. H.
By EMILY POST

MI sftn9. II
Dear Mrs. Post. was an in
nocent guest who spent very
uncomfortable afternoon because
Mrs. \ had invited two Of her
friends. Mrs. Y and Mrs. 10
bridge party when she knew that
Mrs Y and Mrs. z were not on
speaking terms They seemed
surprised TO face each other at
such close range and neither one
spoke 10 the other and in fact,
they noticeably looked down their
noses at each other. II was all
very disconcerting 10 the rest of
US WHO had to endure the bad
weather of their feud. | am Won
derine. since Mrs. y knew the
situation very well mo one has
been able TO escape It in fact
whether she was not wrong IN
inviting them to the same party.
Is there some rule about this
Asswer There is a rule that
Mrs. X should not have asked
Mrs. Y and Mrs. z at the same
time unless it was large party
and they were put at different
and possibly far apart tables. In
this case 1t would have been all
right to invite them and take 1t
for granted that they would be-
have with sufficient evidence of
good breeding not to let any one
notice their i'll feeling. If Mrs.
X had seated them together this
would have been unforgivable.
But even If this Is, let's say, what
did happen, they should have had
the decency to suspend their feud
for few hours time. From what
you write me, it would seem that
their behavior was inexcusable.

The Maharanee, it appeared. was
not astonished by the lateness of
Aunt Phoebe's arrival. She came
into the tent and upset all Bertha
Smiley's instructions by coming
forward and shaking hands with
Aunt Phoebe. From somewhere
the servants had produced rock
ing chair and the Maharanee invit-
ed Aunt Phoebe to sit in it. Then
she introduced the Princess of Be-
wanger, who also took Aunt Phoe-
be's hand. The Maharanee herself
did not sit on cushion. but on an
Empire chair salvaged from the
palace. The old Princess seated
herself in folding camp chair,
and the Maharanee said, 1T is very
good of you to come and see me.
