An interview with instructor Miss [Pyet] discusses the phenomenon of home entertaining by teenagers, and gives further details about the hostess-ship course being held which provides practical demonstrations in cooking, table decorating and social etiquette, amongst other things, giving teenagers the confidence and encouragement to hold their own dinner parties, independent of their parents.
