ADDRESSING. When invitations are sent to a
husband and wife and daughter, only one envelope
is needed, the daughter's name appearing
under her parents. Separate envelopes
should be addressed to two daughters--as,
Misses Wilson.
Separate envelopes should be addressed to
each son.
MEN. If an invitation is sent to a man, he should
answer it himself; but if sent to a man and
wife, the latter may answer for both.
TO CALL WITH CHAPERONE'S PERMISSION. If
permission is asked, and if agreeable, a chaperone
should invite a man to call upon her and
her protege.
Every effort should be made to call at the
specified time.
TO CALL ON WOMEN. If a woman invites a man
to call without specifying the time, it is
equivalent to no invitation at all.
TO CALL ON WOMEN THROUGH LETTERS OF
INTRODUCTION. If a man having a letter
of introduction sends the same by mail to a
woman, it should be acknowledged by a written
invitation to call. If the person receiving
the letter does not care to receive the party, a
card is sent which ends the matter.
R. S. V. P. The use of these letters--standing
for "Repondez, s'il vous plait" (Answer, if you
please)--is decreasing. All invitations bearing
these letters should be answered at once.
These may be used on invitations to ceremonious
receptions, breakfasts, luncheons,
dinners, and to meet a prominent person.
WIFE. When a husband and wife are invited to
a dinner, and the former does not accept,
the wife should also decline and give her
reasons. The hostess can then invite the
wife only, who may accept.
WOMEN. A young woman receiving an invitation
to a man's supper, tea, or dinner, may
accept, if she has the consent of her mother
or chaperone, and is assured that a chaperone
will be present.
WOMEN--THEATRE. Women receiving an invitation
from a man for the theatre should have
the consent of mother or chaperone, and when
they accept, may, with propriety, request
their escort not to provide a carriage unless
full dress on their part is requested.
