My Dear Mrs. Manners:—
My daughters would have been delighted to accept the invitation to your dance, had we not decided to leave the seashore for Lenox at the end of this week, which will preclude their having the pleasure of doing so, much to their regret. I am sure your dance will be a great success, and I am only too sorry that none of us can be present.
Believe me,
Very sincerely yours,
Lucile Stanton.

My Dear Miss Lovering:—
It would be very charming, indeed, if you and your brother could come to a little dance on the 20th, which mamma is going to give in honor of my birthday. I hope you will be able to accept this invitation. We shall begin dancing soon after nine o'clock.
Believe me,
Yours affectionately,
Maud Byrnes.
