My spontaneous reply was that the reason we have remained such staunch friends is because we have never taken liberties with each other. You have been a true friend in need as well as one who has never presumed on that friendship. I have tried hard to reciprocate by my willingness to lend a hand, but never to interfere or offer sug gestions in your home life. “Live and Let Live” has truly been our motto, with marvelous results. An especially bright feather in your cap of wisdom has been the knowledge that everyone needs to be alone at times, and never have you been "A Spend The Day And Evening Too” friend. Realizing instinctively that every woman wishes to be the one and only hostess in her own home, you never once, in all our years of intimacy, emptied ash trays in my living room unless I called on you for help. You have never invaded my kitchen, unin vited, an unpardonable sin according to people of good breeding and refined taste. You have never made a practice of borrowing clothes, luggage, household articles, foodstuffs, or postage stamps. You have never walked boldly into my house, unannounced, but have always thoughtfully and courteously rung the doorbell first. Now, Peg, you know as well as I do that many people today ignore all these little niceties and some even scoff at those of us who meticulously observe them, calling us formal and “high hat.” A pitiful case of the evils of taking liberties is that of a middle aged matron who moved to OUR TOWN to live at the beginning of the war. After living here for six years or more she wonders why she hasn’t made more friends in Wilmington. The answer is perfectly obvious. When she, a newcomer, (Continued On Page Three) U • —■ -— I
