If you are in- vited to a party, the one inviting you pays you a compliment. If the invitation is a verbal one, your reply should indicate that you appreciate the invitation. “ I shall be very glad to come to your party ” would be a suitable reply to make in case you can attend the party. If it is impossible for you to go, a regret should be sincerely expressed in some such way as “ I am so sorry that it will be impossible for me to go to your party. I am going to visit my aunt over the week-end and shall not be in town.” While many invitations are given in person or over the tele- phone, a written invitation gives the one receiving it more time to decide whether it can be accepted. A written invitation to an informal party is merely a note inviting a person in a cordial way to attend a party or other social affair.

Very sincerely yours, Mary Compton 1515 Abbington Road May 6 All invitations and replies should be written by hand (not typed) in ink. A reply to an invitation should be made promptly. An important thing to remember is to give, accept, or decline an invitation sincerely. Wliat should you say when you arrive at a party ? When you arrive at the party, the one giving the party, that is, the host or hostess, usually says that he is glad to see you and shakes hands with you. You in turn should say that you are glad to be at the party or in some such way express your pleasure. If a party is given at school, probably one or more teachers of the school are present acting as chaperon or sponsor. You should shake hands with the sponsor when you enter the room in which the party is given. Sometimes some of the pupils have arranged the party. You should also say “ How do you do? ” to those members of the school responsible for the party. How is one person introduced to another? It very often happens that not all guests at a party know one another. The Parties at School and at Home 575
