I'd rather neither attended, to be honest. They're all such dashed bores. But Milly simply won't have it. She says a party isn't a party these days without some representative element of the New York set. The thing is, if I invite members of both clans, there's bound to be some manner of to-do. The Astors are simply dripping in wealth, but they're all so dreary and grey. And the Hearsts? I suppose their presence would do wonders for one's public standing, but, well.. you know how those newspaper people are. I don't suppose any kind soul might aid a chap enmeshed in such a tedious social conundrum? Chin chin!

Ask Jeeves! I'm sure that Mr Bertie Wooster will be more than happy to oblige and attend your soiree. I believe that Mr Gussie Fink-Nottle is also availale to attend. His social status took a bit a dive since he was caught swimming in the fountain in Trafalgar Square! I do believe he told the constable in his statement he was fishing for newts.....
On second thought's best not invite Gussie onto your boat - man overboard!!

Tally Ho! Old chap. I am in agreement. These parties tend to be a frightful bore.
Last summer when we hired Hawaii for a private barbeque, we invited the Astors. I have to say that they are incredibly tedious, and yet I understand your predicament. They are a party "must have" nowadays.
The Hearst's and ourselves fell out in the Bahamas recently. We were out there to advise the government on the decor in the parliamentry building and had a frightful to do with Sir Hearst over Ocre or Blanche.
We do not really speak now, he his a stubborn fellow as you well know.
Why not invite both and then take leave, we would love for you to come to our Mansion in the "Hills" to get away.
Yours,
Poncington Smyth.

Well... If you are having the Kennedys there then I would avoid inviting the Astors because I heard that Ted got into a squabble over a golf game with one of the Astors last month.....And if the Kennedys are coming be sure to have a few extra bottles of the good stuff handy because you can never have too much with a Kennedy on board.

Don't invite the Astors to a yacht outing, dear, they're bad luck. Remember that to-do they had with the Titanic a few years back.

Must dash to a truffle-roasting. Ta ta

I am hurt that you didn't envite all of us. We would be much more fun, and ultimately no one would miss the Astors or Hearsts!

Don't invite either of them. Invite Paris Hilton and Jenna Jameson. Your soiree will be the talk of the marina!
