How To Be A Gracious Hostes

A young lady's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement --- not even her parents' nasty divorce. Her mother had found the perfect dress to wear, and would be the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever!

A week before the wedding, the bride-to-be was horrified to learn that her father's new wife had bought a dress exactly like her mother's. So, she went and asked her father's new spouse if she would please exchange it, but the stepmother refused. "Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in the dress, and I'm wearing it!" she replied.

The future bride told her mother about the encounter with her father's new mate. Her mother graciously said, ''That is all right, Sweetheart. I'll just get another dress. I'm sure I'll find one for your special day.''

A few days later, they went shopping, and did find a gorgeous dress for her mother.

When they stopped for lunch, the young lady asked her mother, ''Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it."

Her mother just smiled and replied, ''Of course I do, dear. I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before your wedding.''
