WHEN TO ARRIVE.
The Latitude Allowed In the Gamut Of
Social Invitations.

Social lnv1tatlOnSs
It might be supposed that no doubt
could exist ON this head, and that in each
case the invitation card conveyed the nee
essary intimation. Not SO. Much expert
ence of social functions, large and small,
is needed to enable an arrival to be thor
oughly we'll timed-neither a moment too
soon nor too late To arrive, say, a little
before or even precisely at quarter to
8 O'Clock" tho hour named on dinner
invitation card, has quito provincial air
on the face of it and is embarrassing to
both hostess and guest. 1t was not in
tended that the hour should be taken liter
ally Oh the stroke of the clock. On the
contrary. it was meant that a quarter Of
an hours grace should be given to insure
punctuality.
Occasional diners out, fearful of being
too late or n little late, have a knack of
arriving painfully early, before either host
or hostess has descended to the drawing
room. The host and hostess are ruff1ed at
not being found at their post and the
guests full of apologies for having called
them to it. There is no time in the day
when few minutes one way or the other
possess more significance than those that
precede the dinner hour, and so thorough
ly is this understood by society that no one
wishes for an enforced tete-a-tete with a
host or hostess by being overpunctual and
arriving before the orthodox quarter of an
hour has begun it's course. So strictly Is
this unwritten rule with regard to those
few minutes observed that a hidden guest
will undergo much inconvenience rather
than infringe it.
This rule in the matter of arriving does
not apply in the same way to invitations
to balls and dances The hour named on
the card is the one at which hostess
would be most pleased to welcome her
guests, but they, on the contrary, prefer to
make more distingue entree some half to
three quarters of an hour later, when the
rooms are comparatively we'll filled.
To arrive at an afternoon at home"
punctually at the hour named Oh the cards
would not surprise u hostess, but it would
be unfasbicEabie and diSconcerting to
those who thus arrived.
The obligation to arrive within five
minutes Of the hour named when an invi-
tation to luncheon is concerned is impcra-
tive No latitude is implied in this case,
and punctuality is compliment and u
necessity, on the ground that this time
allowed for luncheon is brief. 1t is not
customary to wait for luncheon guests,
and 1870 or 3 o'clock signifies that the
guests will sit down to luncheon without
a moments delay. Again, the hour named
In an invitation to be present at a wedding
ceremony must be taken literally, and II
2:30 p. m. is stated 2:30 p. m is actually
intended, and here also the arrival should
be before the hour, not after it, say within
10 TO Is minutes, to allow time for finding
seats before the ceremony commences.
