Dear Mrs. Post: Please tell me
If it is in order to leave the cello

An obviously irate guest asks:
Can there possibly be any rule of
etiquette which requires a hostess
to keep punctual guests waiting
for over half hour (before serv-
ing them cocktaiD for two guests
who are late habitually?"
Fifteen minutes is the extreme
length of time that courtesy to
her prompt guests permits a host
esS to wait for a late one. The
generally accepted rule in houses
where cocktails are served is to
serve these to however many
guests there may be at the invi-
tation's hour, and go in to din
ner fifteen minutes later. Guests
arriving after this go without
the cocktails. AS a matter of
fact, certain guests, who don't like
cocktails, time their arrival in
houses where they are always
served accordingly.

been prepared by various members
of the club. The Kiplingers, how
ever, imported a caterer for the
occasion. although their faithful
Rose Smith. who has been In COM
mand Of their kitchen for more
than IL years, added some of her
delicious homemade pickles to the
menu.
AS welcome as the food were the
soft drinks. kept cold in tubs OF
