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 sounds out of date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.
