If you don't want to come, whatever
your reason, you can couch your refusal in
the language of a diplomat Don't say
you'll call back and then forget to. And
don't moan, well, l don't know. We've
been so busy. We've been out every night
this week" 1t implies you would be doing
the hostess favor by accepting. when it
is really the other way around The hostess
who hears this sort of excuse shouldn't
be blamed for not telephoning again.
For the times when you want to refuse
without real reason, it better to have a
stock answer to the effect that you are
turning down all social activities for a
while because you are overtired. If you
want to make it for another time, ask for
a rain check. If you really aren't inter-
ested, don't try to be kind by saying,
Cant we make it for next week?"
If you accept an invitation, don't break
it at the last minute because something
more interesting has come along If you
go in for that kind of behavior. you'll soon
be crossed off everyone's guest list.
l guess it comes down to this: be gra-
cious accept an invitation with genuine
and obvious pleasure or refuse it with
diplomacy and regret.
