The address
on the envelop is: The Most
Reverend,
His Grace the Archbishop of Kent.
Archbishop of Roman Catholic church—how

and Dear Sir, and ends: I
have the
honor to remain your humble servant.

off leaf
by leaf
and dipping into the sauce. The

fork.
Asparagus. The stalks may be taken between
the
finger and
the thumb, if they are not too
long, or
the green end may be cut off and
eaten with
a fork, scraping off with the
knife what

AT HOMES.
Afternoon at homes.
The days for receiving
are engraved
in the lower left hand
corner of
the card, with hours specified if one
wishes.
No changes should be made in these hours by the hostess unless for exceptional reasons, and she should always be present at the time set.
Unless very
intimate, the call should be
made only
on the specified days.
Bachelors. It is not customary for
a bachelor
to use “At
Home” cards as a woman does,
nor to invite
his friends by writing a date
and Music
at four on his calling-cards in
place of
an invitation.
Dress. In the afternoon the caller
should wear
afternoon
dress, and in the evening evening
dress.
Acknowledging invitations. Invitations
to
an ordinary
at home need no acknowledgment.
Invitations. Cards for an “At
Home” are engraved
with the
hour for beginning the
entertainment—as,
Chocolate at 4.30 o’clock.
The invitations
to a formal “At Home”
should be
sent in two envelopes, but to an
ordinary
“At Home” in one envelope. For
informal
affairs the hour may be written on
an ordinary
“At Home” card.
Bachelors’ dinners. They follow the usual
custom
of formal
dinners, and may be as elaborate as
desired.
Women may be invited. Such
dinners
are often given for men only.
Calls. Women do not call upon
a bachelor
after attending
a dinner given by him.
Chaperone. If women are present,
a married
woman as
chaperone is indispensable, and
her husband
must also be invited. The host
should call
upon the chaperone and personally
request
the favor.
