Invitations.

If invitations are issued a week or ten days in advance, the hostess has a right to expect that her guests should arrive on time, and carefully attired.

The form of the invitation is similar to an “At Home,” as: Mrs. Emmons Van Zant, At Home, Thursday, June sixteenth, at eight o’clock. 2040 Westmoreland Street.
