As The World Goes

COME AND Miss HIM.

Broadcasting parties have been a disturbing novelty of the late election campaign. " For Mr. Lloyd George on the Wireless " was scribbled across an invitation the other day. I am inclined to say that most guests do not enjoy these argumentative, radio-active at-homes. So I suggest a form of refusal for all future conflicts of this kind : " Mrs. X much regrets that she is unable to accept Mrs. Z's kind invitation to hear Mr. Lloyd George at 0.20 on Monday. She has already arranged a party to miss hearing him in her own house for that evening."
