4 O o 4 O o o OO STYLES IN INVITATIONS. flow They 8hould Ba Written and^Ad- dr»»»ed Correctly. Women write on the flrat and third pages of a sheet of note paper, leaving the second aud fourth pages blank, but iu social life this practice Is better avoided. And postscripts are now more honored in the breach than the observance. A few people write their initials or their name In full in the corner of the envekqie, but this is a mere fad and too often serves as a con cession to curiosity. When a note la sent by band that needs a reply, the word “Answer” should be written on the top of the envelope, aud "No an swer” usually api«eurs when no re sponse is required. “Please forward” 1» the correct term when a letter may have to l»e readdressed, and "Faire aulvre” is its French equivalent. When a letter begins "Dear Sir” or “Madam” the name of tiie person addressed must be written at the end of the let ter. “To John White, Esq.,” "To the Manager of the Chicago Telephone Company,” "To the Editor of the Chi cago Tribune.” Notes of Invitation to luncheon should be brief and couched in the simplest terms available. The expres sion "Will you give us the pleasure of your company?” sounds out of date and pretentious. The word ’lunch eon” must be used, as “lunch” belongs to the list of what are termed “second rate expressions." A note to an Inti mate friend might run thus: "Will you and your husband luncheon with us next Tuesday, th«1 3d, at 2 o’clock? Hoping to see you, I remain, 'yours sincerely,” etc. But If the invitation hap|>enH to be written to some one less well ktiovyn the note might be worded as follows: "Dear Mrs. Martin, if you have nothing better to do, will you luncheon with us on Fridaj’ next, the 1st, at 1:45? Hoping to have the pleas ure of seeing you,” etc. And if the husband is invited he should be styled “Mr. Martin.” In all cases where you are in doubt It is better to err on the side of sim plicity. Everybody admires common sense and dire- tness of expression, and. regardless of set forms, you cannot go far wrong if you say what there Is to be said in well chosen and simple words. Naturalness always is in good j taste, and the most critical perHons are quickest to detect the high flown affec tation of a writer who tries to "put on style” and only manages to be artifi cial.
