the habit OF inviting men to take them to
dances. unless the affair be some sort of
leap-year entertainment or club dance
managed entirely by girls. Then a pleas
ant note to a man whom the girl knows
very well cordially inviting him to the dance
and telling him that, If agreeable, she will
call for him with 4 carriage at the stated
hour on the stated evening.
i If, however. this does not apply, and tho
girl merely wishes an invitation from the
man for some dance or other, by all means
let her abstain from putting any such re-
quest on paper. If the man is avery old
friend or a relative, and she knows that by
incidentally mentioning to him her desire TO
attend the dance he will be glad to take
her, that is for her TO decide. Circum-
stances alone govern such cases.
But for a girl to deliberately write to a
man friend, asking him to escort her TO a
dance is no less a breach of social form than
for the same girl to ask the man to purchase
for her a pair of shoes.
Don't do it. Miss Ignoramus. or you soon
won't have men friends Of any sort.
