DEAR Mrs. Jones,

The girls have persuaded me to arrange a little dance for them during the Christmas holidays, and we plan to have it on Thursday the 17th. Will you and your daughters and your older boy give us the pleasure of your company on that evening at eight o’clock? We should so much like to see your husband also; but I seem to remember he does not care for dancing; still if you can persuade him to come too, we should be so pleased.

Yours sincerely,

HELEN BROWN
