INVITATIONS
SIR,—How right Bernard Levin is! Only this week I have received a communication from Cambridge House consisting of, ostensibly, an invitation to a garden-party to meet Lord and Lady Brabazon. This is nicely printed on a good card with the Cambridge House arms at the top. In addition there is a letter from the Hon. Treasurer, the sting of which is in the fifth paragraph, which reads :
'The invitation card will not admit you to the party, but I will be happy to send you as many ad- mission cards as you require, at a guinea each.'
Is there no way, in addition to such articles as that of Mr. Levin, which can bring to the notice of the organisers of reputable charities and organisations such as Cambridge House, that straightforward candid appeals are better and do not alienate sym- pathy as does this somewhat furtive approach?— Yours faithfully,
