Ipaid tribute to the memory of
Justice Cardozo and to his noted
liberalism. He decried the trend
lof today regarding the word Glib

RMANY a housewife has come
N close to nervous collapse at
the thought of her husbands en-
ployer entering their humble
abode and sharing beef stew with
them. Everyone knows that the
first rule is to give her advance
notice when you are bringing the
boss home. Few small homes are
so equipped as to be spotless, with
candles cleaning, at seven O'Clock
every night.
Being a boss, / personally know
there is a delicate line born of
Office etiquette - guiding Office
friendships. This line is decreed by
the boss, himself. Maybe he's an
informal person who goes around
calling everyone by his first
name. Or maybe he still calls
Miss Smith, who has been his
secretary for 20 years, Miss Smith.
But no matter how informal the
atmosphere the junior accountant
doesn't suddenly say to the boss.
How about dinner tonight" It's
Office etiquette for the boss to
make the first advances toward
greater friendlmess - perhaps by
inviting you to lunch. You can
return this in kind over a luncheon
table at a restaurant.
WHEN mutual liking develops to
the point where you both would
really enjoy knowing each other
better, you will sense it. Be sure,
however, that this feeling is really
mutual. Sometimes, however, a
boss is a friendly person around
the Office but doesn't particularly
like to mix his business and social
life. So don't put him on spot by
making it difficult for him to re-
fuse an invitation.
"If you aren't doing anything
Evening star., 1952-10-26

tonight, would you like to have
dinner with Joan and me?" is a
good way to give him am out, if
he wants one.
When the boss has accepted
your invitation to dinner, certain
oommon-s sense rules can help the
evening along. For one thing,
make sure he knows how to get to
your house. If he's from out of
town and you have a car, call for
him and take him home. It's not
always easy to find your way
around a strange city.
Have the children put away for
the evening. Small children are apt
to be in bed by six, anyway, but
older children sometimes can be
disooncertingly frank.
You don't want Junior asking
the boss. Are you the man who
is going to make Daddy branch
manager"
A social evening IS not the time
to discuss business, not unless the
boss brings it up. Maybe he's a
dynamo who wants to work day
and night and welcomes every
opportunity to get Office problems
off his chest while he has dinner.
On the other hand, maybe he
really wants an evening of relaxa-
ton and rest, and the last thing
he wants to hear or discuss is
business. Follow his lead on this.
Alert your wife not to discuss
all the neighbors, the routine
problems of the day, what Junior
said at breakfast. If she wants to
20 into these things humorously
and briefly, fine. But long mono
logue isn't going to be half as in
teresting to a stranger as to the
man of the house.
Don't discuss Office person

Entertaining The Boss

alities, gossip or the quality of the
work of fellow employees. Your
boss may not be aware of the yen
the bookkeeper has for the file
clerk, and perhaps he doesn't
want to be.
Even if the evening IS a hilarious
success, don't 90 around the Office
the next day calling your boss
Jim" If he wants you to 50 ad-
dress him, hen ask you to. Don't
show by your actions that you
are now palsy-walsy with the head
man. 1t causes Office gossip, petty
jealousy and a feeling Of favorit-
ism. If he wants to make reference
to it, that's his privilege. With
you, NUNS the word.
1t goes without saying that the
setting of your home should be at
its best. On the other hand, don't
70 overheard and have a maid IN
to serve when you have never had
a maid in before in your life. Don't
try to impress him. Your own
natural self was what made him
want to know you better IN the
first place.
The one time when it IS entirely
proper for an employee to make
the first social advances to an en-
ployer is when an out-of-town boss
comes to a branch Office. Away
from home, he often expects to be
taken care of by his employees
and actively enjoys the whole
proceeding. Otherwise, the boss
is apt to be a lonely man m a
lonely town.
ONE final tip: don't ask for a
raise. Office business should be
handled at the Office. Don't spoil
his sense of well-being, the warm
belief that you invited him be
cause you like him as a person
Don't make him feel the only
reason you invited him to dinner
was to get that promotion.
Even bosses like to relax from
the feeling of being bosses.

A newly-installed valve on the

able natural gas over a square
mile of farmland.
Six workmen were knocked flat
by the explosion. The men, two
of them seriously injured. were
taken to Lancaster General Hos
pital.
Traffic within a quarter of a
mile of the break was halted as
police and volunteer firemen,
fearing a fire. spread the warning
of danger. However. no fire de-
veloped.
A spokesman for the Texas
Eastern Transmission Co., which
operates the 20-inch line and its
parallel big brother the Big Inch,
said it will take some time to de-
termine the damage. Gas loss was
described as slight.
