That was the true Southern hospitality in the women of that era. My father did the same thing quite often but back then most wives and mothers were homemakers and it was more or less a part of their make-up. My mother could be cooking happily ever after and one of us would announce we wanted to bring so-n-so home with us for dinner and she would just come alive, as if she was debuting a newly finished portrait. I have never had a meal in a Southern home when I did not feel an overwhelming warm sense of welcome. Comes with the territory, and we're happy to oblige.
