A reader asks: when I give a
lunch party in a public dining
room, what is the procedure for
having my guests go to the table?
Should they be asked to go into
the dining room and find their
places as they arrive, or what?
You, the hostess, receive near
the entrance to the dining room.
AS your guests arrive they join
you and stand about until all have
arrived. You then lead the way
to the table which you have re-
served, and direct them where to
sit.
No Answer to This
Dear Mrs. Post: My employer
has just received an engraved in
Ivitation to a semiofficial dinner.
AS his secretary answer all such
matters. His name is on this in
vitation because the dinner is
being given for him and one other
person. Therefore, I don't know
exactly the wording to use in
answering.
Answer: You don't answer this
particular invitation because it is
obvious that he must have ac-
cepted before the invitations were
engraved and therefore the invi-
tation was merely sent as a re-
Iminder.

Coleman, 25-year employe OF

stated that the action is an at
tempt to defeat the just demands
of city workers for higher wages
by waving the "phony' Red
flag.
The sanitation workers two
weeks ago staged a demonstration
in form of picket line around
City Hall for two hours in pro-
test for higher wages.
A partial list of the subverslve
activity reads:

60 Picketing of the Hotel

refusal of accommodations to

Coleman repeatedly denied the
accusations, stating I'm not a

or said anything subversive. This
is an attempt to intimidate 1000
Negro sanitation workers.
