If an invitation which has been extended cannot be met or is broken, the best method is to phone or telegraph the hostess immediately and explain the circumstances. (Such excuses to the White House are written or telegraphed -- see "The New Resident in Washington.") The usual social form is: (Telegram) MR. AND MRS. HAROLD CLARK STRAGHAN REGRET THAT MR. STRAGHAN'S ILLNESS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO KEEP THE ENGAGEMENT WITH DR. AND MRS. PRESCOTT ON MAY SEVENTH.
Amen.
