MODERN
MANNERS
Out-of-Town Friends Should
Announce Arrival Beforehand
BY CAROLYN HAGNER SHAW

Spring in Washington
magic words - but unfortu-
nately much Of the magic dis
appears with the influx of
friends from out Of town who
descend in droves to view the
spectacle of the Nations Cap
ital at its most beautiful.
1t isn't always a friend or
acquaintance arriving in your
midst who upsets things. It's
the friend of a friend. This
brings to mind the question of
just how far ones obligation
to a friend OF a friend does
extend.
For example: Haven't we all
received a letter from an old
school friend with the news
that Mary Brown, a friend of
hers, will shortly be in town
and will you please help her
to get around?"
The Approach
OF course, a lot depends
upon the way the out-of-town
friend approaches you. Often
she will provide the visitor with
a letter of introduction to be
presented to you upon arrival,
or tell her to telephone you,
which places you in the posi-
ton of having to give some
recognition, an invitation to
your home, or to luncheon at
a hotel. In this case, you are
obliged to do something, but
certainly not take over her en-
tire entertainment.
If your out-of-town friend
has been thoughtful, she would
write to you about her friends
planned arrival, saying nothing
to the visitor about having
written you, leaving it up to
you to decide whether you wish
to do anything about it. This
is certainly the more gracious
way to handle it, leaving you
a way out, but, unfortunately.
most people aren't so thought
full.
Then there is the friend
herself, who Unexpectedly pops
into town for a few DAYS. If
you want to be hospitable,
then the sky and your pocket
book are the limit. But l think
We are all agreed that the
friend who arrives unan-
nounced, with the breezy idea
that you will drop everything.
is stretching things too far.
If you plead previous en-
gagements, and don't want to
impose upon your hostesses by
asking that she be allowed to
accompany you to parties you
have already accepted, you'll
probably put strain on the
friendship. I'm only here for
few days-the least you could
do would be to make time" is
usually the implied, if not the
spoken. reaction. l think all
too frequently the one placed
on the spot is apt to stretch a
point, break her engagements,
and give in to the visitor.
Last Minute Call
How often have you had to
call at the last minute before
a luncheon or dinner or an
especially planned event, with
the excuse. Il simply can't
come. hate to do this to you,
but I've Just had visitors come
in Unexpectedly from out of
town" l think such a switch
Of plan is worse than an
apology would be to the out of
toWners.
If the visitor hadn't the
grace to write about her i'm
pending visit. then il can't be
so important that everything
else must be set aside. You
know we'd love 10 see you. but

Q. One of my girl friends
and have been invited to a
dance which is to take place in
Richmond. We have no friends
with whom we can stay over
night. Would it be proper to
have our escorts make a res
ervation for us in the hotel?
If they do this for us and offer
to pay the bill, is it all right
10 let them DO so?
Miss Nj. NJ. L.
A. 1t is perfectly permissible
for them to make a reserva-
ton for you and your friend
in the hotel, but under no
circumstances allow them to
assume responsibility for the
payment of the hotel bill.
@. My daughter is to be mar
ried at a formal church we'd
ding. The ceremony is to take
place at 4 o'clock in the after
noon. Would you suggest that
/ wear a street-length or
ankle-length gown? Is there
any rule governing the color
that I should wear?
A. AS it is formal we'd
ding, would suggest the wear
ing Of an ankle-length after
noon gown. ANY pastel shade
is acceptable. The wearing of
black or very dark colors
should be definitely avoided.

we have every minute planned
during the next few days. If
only I'd known you were COM
ing. I could have arranged
things. Can I make any sug-
geStions about things you
should see?" That's one way
to do it. if you can! If hurt
feelings are the result, you
have no reason for a feeling of
guilt. The blame belongs on
the shoulders of the visitor
who arrives unnannounced.

OUTDOORS
With BILL LEETcH

On our fishing TRIP last week
end we fished q private pond in
Virginia for largemouth bass and
also caught some Of the largest
purnpkinseed we have ever seen.
One weighed nearly three QUAR-
tiers Of q pound and was 10
inches long and z inches broad.
We released all thsSbass but kept
four of the big jsunfish, which
are delicious eating. Bass at
this season usually are sedgy in
flavor.
We caHHht no large bass but
ore Weighing probably a little
more than three and a half
pounds. taught us a lesson we
thought we had learned over the
years. We were fishing a fly
rod with a large bucktail
streamer and the bass hit near
a submerged log. Our rod is q
stout six ano three elghts ounce
bug rod, so we let him have it
in order to bring him away from
the log and brush. After playing
him out, we brought him to the
side of the boat. We took hold
Of the ten pound test nylon
leader 1--WE had no landing nett
and as we lifted, the leader
quietly slipped its moorings from
the hook eye and away went
the bass and our bucktail. The
bass was completely played out
and didn't make a single flop,
SO it was the half barrel knot
that let go.
If this hadn't happened be-
fore we would not have felt so
badly. We didn't mind losing the
fish because we were releasing
every one anyway. But we were
angry at losing the bucktail,
which we'd tied ourselves, and
also at not having made peri
odical inspection of our leader
tie. When using fairly heavy
nylon, in fact any nylon, it is
well to inspect the leader where
it is tied to the hook when you
are catching fish especially and
also when you get caught in
overhanging bushes and witch
the lure off none too gently.
Nylon is slippery stuff to an
Choir. If you've made one turn
too few on a half barrel. or not
snugged the end properly. you're
almost sure to lose a fish. Usually
it is your heaviest fish that
finishes the job on the knot, or
leader.
Once again we proved the eff
flciency Of q light colored sur
