I immediately wrote a note to another friend, asking her, as a spe cial ^ourtesy, to come. She declined, and, as F found later, was very angry that 1 had invited her as she said, merely as a “filler-n.” I thnk she was rather rude about it, and would like very much to know whether or not I broke the rules of etiquette in asking her. Thank you. L. B. When it is necessary to invite another guest‘ as a “filler-in” the hostess must use great tact and dis cretion, as many people take offense at being invited at the last moment. When the hostess finds that there will be a vacancy in her dinner party she may call upon a friend to fill the place. It is not, of course, the most agreeable thing for a hostess to do, but it is a better plan than to leave the place vacant and to have an odd number of guests. The invitation should be a hand-written note, ex plaining very frankly the reason for the last-minute invitation. The friend invited in this manner should not feel offended that she was not invited first. She should, on the contrary, ac cept the invitation, if she possibly can, and do her best to refuse her presence pleasant. To refuse the in vitation, without any reason, is very rude.
