MODERN
MANNERS
Some Adventures at Lunch
With Mrs. inexperienced
BY CAROLYN HAGNER SHAW

The appointed time was /
o'clock: the purpose. luncheon
with my friend. Mrs. Inexperi-
enced.
I had been waiting. more or
less patiently. for twenty min
utes in the hotel lobby when
my hostess hustled up NUT
tering. $50 sorry. couldn't get
a taxi"
Upon entering the dining
room. she discovered she had
forgotten to make q reserva-
ton. with more waiting the
result. At long last. a table
was procured. Cocktails were
suggested, and my hostess
gave her order to the waiter
for one. then asked me what
would have. Upon my saying
tomato Juice, an argument
ensued as to why I wouldn't
have the cocktail. I stuck to
my guns. so. with q little sigh.
she changed her order to
tomato juice also.
At this point. she spotted
friends at a table across the
room, so of she went to greet
them. leaving me alone with
my thoughts. Finally she re-
turned and luncheon was Or
dered. Then q table hopper"
came our way necessitating
introductions, and chit chat.
while the food cooled. Then.
adding insult to injury. Mrs.
inexperienced caught sight of
Q friend lunching alone at a
nearby table. Nothing must
do but she join us. Much
confusion while q place was
set for her. a cocktail ordered.

Frankly. I had a hard time
remembering my manners"
when I finally broke away.
using as an excuse an ap-
pointment, which, to be
honest, I didn't have.
Consideration for others is a
must of the gracious
hostess, and in this instance
Mrs. inexperienced had been
anything but considerate of
me. To begin with, a hostess
should always arrive ahead of
the appointed hour. Arriving
late is really objectionable.
The thoughtful person will al
ways make a reservation to be
sure her guests will not be
Inconvenience by waiting.
When ordering. a hostess
ascertains the wishes of her
guests, then gives them to the
waiter. She does not place her
own order first. To argue
about the drinks Is q rude
habit Of many people. II a
guest wishes tomato juice. that
Is her prerogative. Others
changing their orders is
childish. the only result being
to make an issue Of the situa-
ton.
Table hopping. which seems
very prevalent nowadays, is to
me only an ungracious. rude
act. It Is definitely inconsider-
ate to your guests. and an
impolite interruption to those
you visit. A brief nod and a
smile to an acquaintance
across the room is all that
should be necessary. Particu-
larry is this inexcusable when
one leaves q guest sitting
alone. Asking another person
to join your party is an
imposition. too.
Sum total: The courteous
hostess gives her attention. all
Of it, to consideration for her
guest or guests.

Shneiderov to DR.. E. H. Lucas
of Michigan State University,
who. If he wishes. may extract
the fungus from Russian mush-
rooms and send it to the can
Ger service center for screening
as a possible anticancer agent.
The Post Office Department
confirmed that it was investi-

the paper for possible fraud.
The translations now are being

According to an aide in Mr.
Blatnik's Office, the Representa-
tive had been approached by
Mr.. Shneiderov several times
some years ago. carrying a list
of the names of other Senators
and Representatives who were
supporting him.
The idea Of the university, as
presented to the Congressman,
was to promote education and
cultural exchanges for young
sters, he said.
The Representative said they
had attended no meetings of
the executive board of re-
gents" of the so-called univer-
sity.

In a letter dated November
IS to the Better Business Blu
reau, which also was investi-
eating the cancer cure, Mr..
Blatnik wrote:

Mr.. Burdick's Office says the
original sponsor of the bill was
Representative William o.

now has dropped the proposal.

man. Over the years, in a
variety of top csc jobs. Mr..
Irons has won the confidence
and respect of Federal employee
leaders by his down-to-earth,

also has won the respect of
members of Congress as chief
