leaving. There was nothing
to do but ask her to dinner.
"Of course, I would love to
stay" was Mrs. Inexperienced's
reaction to this. When the
food was served, Mrs. Brown
commented that she wasn't
the least bit hungry latter
all. two pork chops will only
stretch two. ways.
To make a long story short,
she finally took her departure
at 1890. The state of mind
of the Browns at this point
had best be left to the mag

Mrs. inexperienced had COM
pletely failed to recognize
that it is objectionable to take
advantage Of another's hos
pitality. When you are in
vited to drop by around 6
and say hello" it means just
that. 1t does not mean to
arrive over an hour later.
Drop by" means for a very
short visit, not the whole eve
ming. If your hostess had
wanted you for dinner, she
would have said so in the first
place.
In these days Of help short
ages it is really unforgivable
to impose on people in this
manner. particularly in the
evenings. and especially if
small children are part of the

you drop by a friends home,

The other afternoon Mrs.
Brown was chatting on the
telephone with her friend
Mrs. inexperienced.
During the course of the
conversation. Mrs. Inexperi-
enced happened to mention
that she was attending a cock
tail party later on at a resi-
dence just a block away from
Mrs. Browns. Mrs. Brown i'm
mediately extended the invita-
ton that she stop by after
wards and say hello" Mrs.
Inexperienced was delighted
and said she would come in
about 6.
That evening at tbs she
breezed in. Mrs. Brown was
in the throes of trying to get
her two small and violently
active youngsters bedded down,
and cook dinner at the same
time. Both she and Mr.. Brown
were at that low ebb of the
day so familiar to all parents,
where mother is worn out with
the youngsters and Dad is
tired after a hectic day at the
Office.
Mrs. inexperienced took none
of this into consideration. She
pumped down on the sofa
and settled herself with the
obvious intention of staying q
while. She then launched
into a long drawn out disser-
tation about the party she had
just attended. Both Of the
Browns tried to show interest
while the youngsters climbed
over, around and under every
thing and everybody.

herself, rescued the burning
dinner on the stove, grabbed

Why Do Hostesses Insist Upon
Inviting Women Without Escorts?
3, CAROLYN HAGNER SHAW

Now that the social season

my opinion may make me
very unpopular to some. II
SO. ! apologize. Anyway. here
1t Is.
! have been receiving many
invitations to formal evening
dress up" parties. such as
receptions. dances and balls.
With one outstanding excep-
ton. no indication was given
that I might bring an escort,
or that my hostess was OBJ
tanning one for me.
Being. unfortunately. in
that middle-aged extra
woman" category, I suppose
the fact that ! was thought
of at all should have been
appreciated. Believe me, 1t
was. However, I have turned
down all invitations, with
the one exception.
Why? Because if there is
anything more embarrassing
than to arrive at such a
party alone, I would like to
know what it is. Your only
recourse is to find a corner,
probably with some other
poor woman in the same fix,
and sit it out for a while.
making your departure as
soon as it's decently polite to
do so.
The reason this maneuver
seems necessary is that you
hesitate to barge in on peo-
pie you know who have come
to the party with their own
group of friends. You stop
and chat for a moment per-
haps. but no matter how nice
they are, you feel uncomfort-

like to say that I am not
alone In this little diatribe.
Every woman I have APP
preached, who is in the same
predicament. has heartily
concurred with my senti-
ments on the subject.
It would make 1t so much
easier If, when q hostess is
sues such an invitation, she
would indicate one of two
things; either that an escort
may be brought along, or
that she. herself, is providing
one.
My first suggestion gives
the recipient q chance to de-
eide whether she wishes to
go, or not to 60, alone; or to
go bringing an escort (if she
can find oneD
The second idea really APP
plies only in the case where
the party is to be fairly
small, such as a formal din
ner, for example. Naturally,
it would be almost impossible
for a hostess to bring forth
escorts when the entertaining
is to be along the lines of
huge receptions or balls, but
she should do so for dinners.
Reminder9af the hostess does
provide the escort, she should
see to it that he furnishes
transportation to and from
the party for the lady he is
escorting.
While I realize my sugges-
lions place an added burden
on a hostess, she can rest
assured that she will receive
the undying thanks of her
unattached women guests for
her thoughtfulness in their
behalf.
