THE SITUATIONS: Friends have dropped in to spend an evening in conversation-and you want to be a thoughtful, adequate hostess. How would you act?
 WRONG WAY: Keep jumping up to empty ash trays, to ask Are you comfortable?" and to open or close windows.
 RIGHT WAY: Relax and keep the conversation going, not inter- rupting it by getting out of your own chair unless it is absolutely necessary. CThe anxious hostess who keeps worrying about her guests and buzzing around to make them comfortable only succeeds in dis tracting them and making them ill-at-ease.)
