I once invited a couple to join me for dinner at a local restaurant. It was a couple with whom I been aquainted for some time but we had never, as couples, gone out together.

At the end of the meal I took the check from the waitress and prepared to pay it. My guest, expectedly, argued with me about who should pay. I insisted, stating that it was I who invited them to dinner. The debate became, not angry, but vigerous. I won and paid the $100 bill.

It seems to have ended our friendship. They never called us and never reciprocated in any way.

So let's see, I paid and they got mad. Go figure. So, was I out of line to pay the bill.

Nothing was pre-arranged about payment of the bill. I just felt it my duty, as the invitor, to pay the bill.

I would love to have interesting facts about the era. I have tried to find things on the internet, but only find sites that want to sell me books. I am a costumed presenter and I love to tell the trivial stuff. Anything true would be great. Corsetts, clothing, funerals, meals, rules of ettiquette, supersticians, strange beliefs, recipes, decorating, dance/ball, holidays, invention successes & failures, anything. I do have quite a bit of knowledge of the era, but I would love to know more. If someone is an expert, I would love to have someone to correspond with.
