eting the others
as they are all congenial.

Mr. Maxwell has just bought a new flexible flyer and we expect
some fine coasting. Be sure to bring your skates. Goldfish
Pond is like glass.

The best afternoon train on Friday is the 3:12, and the best
Saturday morning train is the 9:30.

I hope you can come.

Very sincerely yours,
Myra T. Maxwell.

A letter of thanks for hospitality received at a week-end party or a
house-party would seem to be obviously necessary. A cordial note should
be written to your hostess thanking her for the hospitality received and
telling her of your safe arrival home. This sort of letter has come into
the title of the "Bread-and-Butter-Letter."

500 Park Avenue,
August 18, 1922.

Dear Mrs. Maxwell,

Having arrived home safely I must tell you how much I
appreciate the thoroughly good time I had. I very much enjoyed
meeting your charming guests.

Let me thank you and Mr. Maxwell most heartily, and with
kindest regards I am

Sincerely yours,
Ruth Evans.

_To a christening_

Most christenings are informal affairs. The invitation may run like
this:

September 8, 1920.

My dear Mary,

On next Sunday at three o'clock, at St. Michael's Church, the
baby will be christened. Philip and I should be pleased to
have you there.

Sincerely yours,
Dorothy Evans Brewster.

_To bring a friend_

Often in the case of a dance or an at home we may wish to bring a friend
who we think would be enjoyed by the hostess. We might request her
permission thus:

600 Riverside Drive,
April 25, 1922.

My dear Mrs. Dean,

May I ask you the favor of bringing with me on Wednesday
evening, May the second, my old classmate, Mr. Arthur Price?
He is an old friend of mine and I am sure you will like him.

If this would not be entirely agreeable to you, please do not
hesitate to let me know.

Yours very sincerely,
