We are still in Pamphlet 5 of the original 1922 Fascinating Womanhood pamphlets, Chapter X.  I've used a static picture on this video so that you can work around the house while listening:   The three subtitles covered in this video are: A Sure Way to Meet Men; Making Use of an Escort; and Another Way to Increase Your Social Activity We discuss how to be a great hostess, Miss Snub, Debbie Downers, and other important guests - the few choice women who will help your get-together be a success.  Learn to be one of these "choice spirits" and you'll be invited to their soirees, as well.  Why is it so easy to meet men when you are the Hostess?
