“_Will you come to my house to tea on Friday afternoon,
June sixth, at three o’ clock? I hope you can._
“_Lovingly_,
“DOROTHY.
“_19 Elm Street._
“_June first._”
Or if you are going to have a larger party, you can write:
“_Miss Dorothy Manners requests the pleasure of your
presence at her home on Friday afternoon, June sixth,
from four until eight o’clock._
“_19 Elm Street._
“_June first._”
Be sure to send your invitations in time for your friends to write
replies. Mother will need to know just how large a birthday cake to
bake, and how much ice cream to freeze!
’Twill be a good plan (and there’s truth in my rhyme)
To always begin to get ready in time.
