Dear Queenie,
I got tired of all the work I had to do serving food and cleaning up after the meal when I hosted a lot of people over the holidays. Often I think my guests would be willing to help but haven’t any idea what to do and I don’t have the time or energy to tell them.
Queenie, what do you suggest?—Worn-out hostess
Dear Hostess,
Another worn-out hostess I know wrote various tasks on slips of paper and gave a slip to each guest when they arrived. It worked for her and then she was not so worn-out.
