Will you kindly tell me the kind
of a note that should be written in
case of dinner and theatre party

vent the giving of a dinner note

livery ,@either canceling or postpon-

written in the third person, some
thing to this effect:
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Williams re-
greet exceedingly that due to fire in
their home they must postpone their
dinner arranged for Wednesday. De
cember the tenth, to Monday, Deem
Der twenty third, On which date they
hope to have the pleasure of Mr..
and Mrs. James Golfers company

case of stop-gap at dinner party.
This means stopping gap which
has been caused by a guests sud
den inability to keep dinner en-
gagement.
1t is quite permissible to call upon
a friend to fill vacancy occurring
at dinner party at the last mo-
ment. However, in such case the
situation should be frankly explained
and not a formal card sent out at
the last minute For example:
DEAR Mr.. BROWN:
VIII you be most obliging and
help me out on Wednesday, January
the twelfth? The grippe has seized
one of my guests at the last minute
so that l am cast upon the. good
nature of my friends. We will dine
at seven o'clock, and ! shall look
forward to the pleasure of your
company. and thank you many times
for the favor you confer by coming.
Most sincerely yours.
