Dear Mrs. Post and Dance Question in Advice Column

A reader asks about inclusion of parents in dinner invitations and explains her stance on hosting guests. The columnist advises the hostess may not have known about the parents and urges reasonable courtesy, while noting you should not leave parents alone except brief stays. A separate item offers a dance floor tip: request to be escorted back to your friends. A Memphis brief notes a man threw his hat in disgust after winning a pocket comb in a skill game. he is bald.
