The Ignored
Invitation


If someone was nice enough to ask
you 10 come to her house and eat Il
perfectly good luncheon or spend an
Itternoon at your fayirite game. don't
you think that you'd appreciate her
thought on your behalf enough to tell
her whether or not you could come?
II does seem so, doesn't it? And yet
the hostess of today is continually con-
fronted by the embarrassment Of not
knowing whether her guests are going
to accept her invitations or not.
Now this is a rather startling ac-
cusation to make against we'll bred
women. For the worst offenders in
this respect are not the women who
90 very little into society, and might
not know what was the proper thing
to do when invitations are received.
Not at all. They are women who
move in the best circle OF society.
To be sure they will almost always
save their regulations by sending a
fore the appointed hour. but the day
before a luncheon is hardly adequate
warning when one remembers that a
hostess must do her ordering at LEAST
81 early as the morning before the
day that she entertains.
A hostess who entertains at lunch
con followed by bridge, must plan very
definitely upon the number of guests
that she is going to entertain. In the
matter of money alone, TO say nothing
Of convenience, it makes difference
whether she is buying for twelve or
fifteen, for if she is taking pains with
the affair it is probable that her lunch
con is costing several dollars plate,
as she spares no trouble or expense
10 provide the best things for her
guests which the market affords.
When the games are played after
luncheon it is still more important to
know who is coming as when players
drop out substitutes must be summon
ed at the last minute or one or two
women be left over.
These Irregularities are to be ex.
pected by every hostess. Many OF
them are unavoidable, but when one
receives regrets the day before a
bridge party which pleads previous
engagement, and invitations have been
issued for at least two weeks, it looks
rather bad for the woman who has
known for two weeks that she could
not come and hasn't taken the trouble
TO notify her hostess.
And yet this sort of thing happens
repeatedly.
A woman who gave "a series oil
large bridge parties some time age
was reduced to the somewhat humll
iating necessity of telephoning TO sew
cral of her guests and asking then
il they were coming. This really ism
exactly pleasant, but she found upol
, speaking of the matter to other womel
that they had been forced to take tn
: same strenuous measures.
1t does seem a good deal Of pit
that a woman who is nice enough t
be wanted at a social gathering q
u This kind shouldn't be thoughtful
enough to pay her hostess the compl
ment of a prompt answer to her inv
tation. 1t is certainly as little as on
could do toward expressing some al
probation of the courtesy received, Il
j say yes or no.
