From Betty Crocker's Guide to Easy Entertaining (1959)

"The hostess who thinks of her party as a gift to her friends can't go wrong - a gift of people with whom they''ll have fun, a gift of food they will enjoy - a gift of herself by having food ready to serve without confusion - and a gift of confidence by letting them know what kind of a party is planned and how to dress for it."
