Tally almost preferred formal white-tie or black-tie parties. For girls, though, the definition simply exploded, as definitions usually did here in New Pretty Town.

Like a night without a party, "semi" opened up too many possibilities. The invitation to Valentino Mansion said semiformal, but it was the semi part that was tricky. Getting dressed was always the hardest part of the afternoon. Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless. ![]()
