The publication has always invited those listed and not according to their rank in Society – think of all those pop musicians and film stars. Therefore the widows of knights, baronets, and peers were not necessarily included. The opposite is so of Kelly's Handbook which lists the peerage, knightage, and baronetage - including the widows - bishops and other senior church officials, JP's and lords lieutenant, VC’s, DSO's, holders of insignia of the rank of commander and above, and a few others.
