Two tickets, the price oj which together will be 2s. 6d., will be sent to all 
members of the Society, who can obtain additional tickets (by sending a stamped 
addressed envelope and a remittance to the Head Office of the Selborne Society, 
20, Hanover Square, London, W.) at the rate of one for is. 6d. and two for 2%. 6d. 
On the day of the Soiree the price of a ticket to admit one will be 2s. 6d. 
No price will be printed on the tickets, and it is hoped that members who are 
unable to be present themselves will make the work of the Society known by 
giving them to friends who will be able to attend. It will greatly facilitate the 
work of the Conversazione Committee if members will send an early reply to the 
Honorary Secretary, and make any application for further tickets that they may 
require without delay.
