A fun story by Eliza Leslie describing a mom and her two grown kids- allvery educated and ready to take their place in society as was the goal in "the upper classes" of the late 19th century, They are traveling through New York and a friend has referred two familes to them to stop by and meet on their way home. They respond to both families and receive word back that yes, both families were looking forward to meting them and they are invited to visit the same evening. The accept the first invitation, which is not that descriptive, only to discover soon after accepting the first that the second invitation offers a much fancier evening with much more to do, entertainment,and the like. But as the agreed to the first, thats where they go. And what an evening!
