When to Get There
One should never arrive for
luncheon or dinner more than five
minutes in advance of the time
stated. In giving luncheon or din
ner invitations the hostess should
always specify definitely . the time
she wishes her guests to come.
Among close friends it is sometimes
customary to ask luncheon or dinner
guests to come well in advance of
the meal hour, but when that is ex
pected the hostess should specially
ask her guests to do so. A dinner
is usually regarded as an entire
evening's entertainment, and one
dees not hurry away from dinner,
but lingers in the drawing room or
living room for possibly an hour.
However, among women, who en
tertain extensively a luncheon in
vitation is not regarded as an invita
tion for the entire afternoon and

It is merely a verbatim report of a
between-thc-acts remark overheard
at a performance of the Chicago
Opera company Lady scanning the
names emblazoned around the stage

turning to her companion, "I sup
