Tip of the Week

Look here each Monday for a new tip to make entertaining a snap!

01/17/00 - How Tall Are Your Guests?

If your house needs to be dusted before you entertain, and you don't have a lot of time to spare, it could be useful to know the height of your tallest guest. That's because I recommend that you don't dust any higher than your tallest guest. After all, no one is going to get on a stepstool to do the proverbial white glove test in your home. Later, when you do have the time, you can dust all those picture frames, vases and knick-knacks on the high shelves.

If you have a tip you'd like to share, email your Guide at entertaining.guide@about.com. If selected, I will post it with your name in future weeks.
