Life Of The Party
I UNOHEON hostesses in London have found a way to ease the strain of lagging conversations. When a worried woman gives a party, she pays someone to attend and lend the guests to excited discussions of this and that. Whenever the women seem to be petered out on one topic, the vivacious one starts them on something else and keeps them going at full steam ahead. ■Many a luncheon has been changed from boredom to enjoyment by the strategy of the paid guest, wh,o appears to be just one of those present. She is usually the. last to leave, the hostess not wishing to hand out the fee in front of the others. They pay as much as £o per lun cheon for a good conversation pilot.
