The letters "R, s. v. p." at the end of as invitation stand for j the French words "Repondez s' il vous plait," which is, answer if you please. This request is not now added to an invitation as often as formerly, since many hostesses regard it as an insult to their guests to remind them of their obvious duty, and ask for a reply. Still, the fact remains that an amazing amaz-ing number of people do fail to answer an-swer invitations and we see these significant sig-nificant initials on many a summons to a dance or card party. Charlie No, I advise you not to ask your girl friend to let you wear her opal ring. She might do it and it is a bad plan to borrow jewelry.
