With parties galore COM
ing up right about now, a
special pet peeve of mine has
come to the fore again.
I have expressed my
opinion regarding it upon
several occasions. 1t hasn't
done a bit of good except to
make me unpopular with
some. Others have patted
me on the back. Anyhow,
again here 1t is. If ! tread
on anyone's toes, I apologize.
I receive many invitations
for evening parties. Some
formal, some more or less
informal. With one excep-
tion, the invitations coming
in during the past few weeks.
have given no indication that
I might bring an escort. or
that my hostess was obtain
ing one for me.
Being, unfortunately, in
that middle-aged extra
woman" category, I suppose
the fact that I was thought
Of at all should be appre-
ciated. Believe me, it is.
However, I have turned down
all invitations, with the one
exception.
Why? Because if there is
anything more embarrassing
than to arrive at an evening
party alone, I would like to
know what it is. This is par
ticularly true if dancing is
on the program. What do
you do? You find a sofa in a
corner, on which is seated
some Other poor woman in
the same fix. You make con-
versation for a while, watch
ing the couples go by, and
then sneak out as soon as it
is decently polite to do so.
OVERRIDING it, you say?
No. What else are you going
to do? You hesitate to barge
in on people you know who
have come to the party with
their escorts and their own
group of friends. You stop
and chat for a moment per-
haps, but no matter how nice
they are, you feel uncom-
Portable if you wish yourself
on them.
My suggestions for the way
to remedy this situation may
not meet with approval by
some. But for what they are
worth, here they are.
1t would make it so much
easier if, when a hostess is
sues such an invitation, she
-'ould indicate one of two
ilings; either that an escort
may be brought along, or
that she, herself, is providing
one.
The first suggestion gives
the recipient a chance to de-
eide whether she wishes to
go, or not to go, alone: or to

throes Of addressing my we'd
ding invitations. DO ! remove
the little tissues placed in
each invitation before putting
them in the envelopes. or
should ! leave them where
they are? MISS T. s. C.
Answer-The piece Of It's
sue is placed between the folds
of the invitation for a pur-
pose. Leave it there. Engrav-
ing is inclined to smudge and
since it is traditional that a
wedding invitation be re-
ceived in immaculate condi-
ton, the little tissue guar
antees this.

MODERN
MANNERS
A Hostess Should Provide Escorts
For Unattached Women Guests
By CAROLYN HAeNER SHAW

20 and take an escort (if she
can find oneD
The second idea really ap-
plies only in the case where
the party is to be fairly
small, such as dinner, for
example. Naturally 1t would
be impossible for a hostess
to bring forth escorts when
she is entertaining at huge
evening receptions or dances.
But she should definitely do
so for dinners or small eve
ming get-togethers. It's un-
fair to ask a woman to taxi
herself to and from such a
party during the evening
hours.
Reminder: If the hostess
is thoughtful and does pro-
vide an escort, she should
see to- it that he furnishes
transportation to and from
the party for the lady he is
escorting.
While I realize that these
suggestions place an added
burden on a hostess, she can
rest assured that she will re-
ceive the undying thanks Of
her unattached women guests
for her thoughtfulness in
their behalf.

Questions. Answers

QuestiOn-My fiance and !
are both working in the Gov
ernment. He has been sent
out of town on a special Job
for about four months. I am
receiving lots of invitations
to go to the movies and par
ties from other young men.
Should I accept them?
MISS w. N.
Answer-It would seem to
me that this is a matter that
should be decided between
you and your fiance. OF
course if you make it a point
to always join a group when
going out with some young
man other than your f1ance,
you will avoid unpleasant
gossip.
However, it seems that
this is a decision you two
will have to make.
\ \ y
Question-When I am din
ing in a restaurant and
my napkin slips off my lap,
do I lean over and pick it up
or should the man with
whom I am dining do so?
MISS K. Pc.
AnSwer-Rather than fish
around under the table, it is
safer to signal a waiter. He
will supply you with a new
napkin. Asking your escort to
pick it up means he has to
rise from his chair and come
around to your side of the
table. Awkward, to say the
least!

Newborn Girl
Now Involved
In Eviction

The mother of an Alexandria
family which is being evicted
from a low-rent public housing
project gave birth yesterday to
a baby girl.
Seymour j. Spelman, attor-
ney for the family, which now
numbers eight, said he will ap-
peal to the Virginia Supreme
Court a decision last week by
Circuit Court Judge Paul Brown
upholding the eviction.
He claimed the family was
ordered evicted from the John
Roberts Homes project solely
because a 14-year-old daugh-
ter gave birth to an illegitimate
son in violation of provision
in the apartment leases.
Judge Brown, however, ruled
in favor of the Alexandria Re-
development and Housing Au-
thority which claimed the evic-
ton was based on other factors,
including a charge of nuisance
due to excessive noise.
The judge gave the attorney
so days in which to note his
appeal. Pending the outcome
of the litigation. the family still
lives in the apartment.
