Always
date
your
note
of
invitation,
and
put
your
address
in
one
corner.
Having
dispatched
these
notes,
the
next
step
is
to
prepare
to
receive
your
guests.
If
the
number
invited
is
large,
and
you
hire
waiters,
give
them
notice
several
days
beforehand,
and
engage
them
to
come
in
the
morning.
Give
them
full
directions
for
the
supper,
appoint
one
to
open
the
door,
another
to
show
the
guests
to
the
dressing
rooms,
and
a
third
to
wait
in
the
gentlemen's
dressing-room,
to
attend
to
them,
if
their
services
are
required.
If
you
use
your
own
plate,
glass,
and
china,
show
the
waiters
where
to
find
them,
as
well
as
the
table
cloths,
napkins,
and
other
things
they
may
require.
If
you
hire
the
service
from
the
confectioner's
or
restaurateur's
where
you
order
your
supper,
you
have
only
to
show
your
waiters
where
to
spread
supper,
and
tell
them
the
hour.
You
will
have
to
place
at
least
four
rooms
at
the
disposal
of
your
guests--the
supper
room,
and
two
dressing-rooms,
beside
the
drawing-room.
In
the
morning,
see
that
the
fires
in
your
rooms
are
in
good
order;
and
in
the
drawing-room,
it
is
best
to
have
it
so
arranged
that
the
heat
can
be
lessened
towards
evening,
as
the
crowd,
and
dancing,
will
make
it
excessively
uncomfortable
if
the
rooms
are
too
warm.
See
that
the
lights
are
in
good
order,
and
if
you
propose
to
have
music
instead
of
dancing,
or
to
use
your
piano
for
dancing
music,
have
it
put
in
good
tune
in
the
morning.
If
you
intend
to
dance,
and
do
not
wish
to
take
up
the
carpets,
you
will
find
it
economical,
as
well
as
much
pleasanter,
to
cover
them
with
coarse
white
muslin
or
linen;
be
sure
it
is
fastened
down
smoothly,
firmly,
and
drawn
tightly
over
the
carpets.
