T often happens that an invitation bring much perplexity as plea- sure to the person who receives it, Even the best bred people, unless they go out constantly in society, are occasionally puzzled just what to do about it. They wonder whether or not an answer is required and what sort of answer. Such little points of etiquette are easily forgot- ten and ‘yet they are the very things about which it is the most embar- rassing to make a mistake, All social invitations can roughly be divided into two classes, formal and informal. Formal are always engraved or written in the third per- son, while informal invitations are given verbally, or over the telephone, or take the form of cordial little notes written in the first person, All informal invitations require answers at once; for usually there are but few people invited and it is neces- sary for the hostess to know as soon Banner. eee ‘Look before you leap." ‘Look before you ya: says: Man Wo leep. baisind eee Nothing so shakes one’s faith in bile. exet News, mankind as to be hit by an automo- He tely upset.—Des- possible whom she may expect, 80 she will have time to fill vacan- Het of guests.
