Part 13 (1/2)
_At nine o'clock._
_Delmonico's._]
Another form that would be equally appropriate is as follows:
[Ill.u.s.tration:
_Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Saltus,_
_Sanger Halle,_
_Wednesday evening, January twentieth._
_German at nine._
_R.S.V.P._]
If any of these occasions are intended to introduce a _debutante_, her card may be enclosed. If they are given in honor of a friend, or some celebrated individual, the following form is appropriate:
[Ill.u.s.tration:
_Mrs. Henry Alexander_
_Requests the favor of your company on_
_Tuesday evening, October tenth,_
_From eight to eleven o'clock,_
_To meet the_
_Rev. Prof. Dr. Kemp,_
_Of the Princeton Theological Seminary._
_684 West 49th Street._
_R.S.V.P._]
Or, if very formal, the name of the guest may be given first, as: To meet the CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE UNITED STATES and MRS. FULLER. MRS.
HAROLD COURTRIGHT, At Home, from eight to eleven o'clock, Thursday, February seventh. _R.S.V.P._
This same precedence may be given to the name of an honored guest in a dinner or other invitation. Still another form is where the name of the guest is written on a separate card, thus: To meet MRS.
SUMMERVILLE. Enclose this in the same envelope.
For a club party the following may be used: THE LA SALLE CLUB requests the pleasure of your attendance Wednesday evening, June eight, at nine o'clock. 555 West 51st Street. _R.S.V.P._
A still more simple form for a party invitation is an ”At Home” card filled out thus: MRS. DON CARLOS PORTER, At Home, Tuesday evening, March fourth. 1021 Broadway. Cotillion at ten. _R.S.V.P._
