_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._
