Mrs. Cowley's compliments to the gentlemen and ladies, begs
leave to acquaint them, next Thursday evening she purposes
to open school for the season, where any gentlemen or ladies
of character, who will behave agreeable to the rules of the
school, may be admitted: The greatest care will be taken,
that no offence shall be given, either to, or by those who
are admitted as scholars, or those that will please to
favour her with their company and custom; the hours for
dancing will be from five to nine. No gentlemen to be
admitted without a ticket: Tickets at forty shillings each.
she must likewise beg leave to remind them, that as Thursday
evening is fixed for a public school, shall not on any
occasion, unless an assembly or ball interferes, have it on
any other. If any particular set of gentlemen and ladies
should incline to amuse themselves for a few hours in this
genteel way, any other evening shall, on the shortest
notice, be politely received and accommodated, without any
interruption, for half a dollar a ticket, and their favours
most greatfully acknowledged by their humble servant.
Dancing for young gentlemen and ladies, taught as usual,
at a dollar and a half entrance, 3 dollars per quarter,
either public or private, and little misses or the younger
gentlemen that have been taught by her only, that have lost
their dancing, by neglecting to practice, shall be taught
again, with the greatest pleasure and willingness, without
price; she flatters herself, that among the many hundreds,
she has had the honour to be employed by, and to teach in
this place, she has many friends that will still endeavour,
to promote and encourage this business, as she will do the
utmost in her power, to discharge her trust, and make it her
study to deserve a continuance of their favour.
