THERE we were, one quiet evening, Alone. Happy. Not annoying any. Lulled by the sprinkle of jazz on the gramophone. In the oven a chicken was singing in a halo of bacon. A bottle of red wine was warming by the fire.

The doorbell rang. Blast the doorbell.

In crashed four medium-best friends. Noisy. Flashing neon smiles, lit up by the cocktail party they had just left. Wasn't it a good idea, they asked, to drop in? They couldn't think why they hadn't done it be fore when they had passed this way.

Oh, please don't let us stop whatever you are doing, they cried. Just keep on. You were only reading a magazine? Oh, well, then, we aren't interrupting at all,

are we?

With a smile as sweet as u slice of lemon we entertained them. Let them roar on, insensitive to the smell of our chicken, the face of the clock, the hunger in our eyes. And when at last they left to go to a night club at 10.30, I burled the charred little bones of the bird in the garbage can and wept.

"The women In Poland аге very modera," she said. "Oh, 360, absolutely. They wear Italian clothes. French and Stiletto heels. And something different each year, of course.

How do we get rid of them? It's the old, old problem which flames up in a million houses. Reflected in flocks of raised eyebrows and kicks under the table. Futile attempts like laying the table and putting out the cat, we know, have about as much impact as shooing off a bull with a cobweb.

What can we do? There must be some solution.
