Description

Today fussy, proper parties are definitely out of style. Truly "smart" people just won't take the time to spend their precious leisure moments "putting on the dog". When one studies the kind of home architecture and appliances, and the casual clothing that "sell" and the types of recreation that are popular he soon realizes that simplicity and naturalness are the modern keynote for leisure time living. It suggests a search for an antidote to the strain and tension that involves most of us-in this business of "making a living". The front doors on most of our homes swing inward. This provides a wonderful opportunity for us to permit selected parts of the exciting outside world to come into our "home base" bringing good times of laughter and fellowship and the stimulus of new ideas and inspiration. To gain such needed and desired expressions requires above all else a charming hostess. Very few women ever acquire all the qualifications for becoming the "perfect hostess" but more homemakers than you would think have the means to provide the magic of hospitality in their homes.
