EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming dance card from 1914 invites us to a fund-raising event organized by the Metropolitan Association for Befriending Young Servants (MABYS), held at Gate House in the affluent area of Highgate, London. The MABYS was an organization dedicated to providing social welfare, care, and accommodation for children and young servants who were in need. The dance, which took place in the elegant surroundings of Gate House, was an important social event for the community. The dance card, adorned with intricate floral designs, bears the names of the attendees, their partners, and the dances they were to perform throughout the evening. The event provided an opportunity for these young people to enjoy an evening of entertainment and socialization, while also raising much-needed funds for the important work of the MABYS. The MABYS played a vital role in providing support and care for children and young servants during a time when such resources were scarce. The organization offered a safe and nurturing environment, providing essential services such as education, training, and accommodation. The dance card serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of community support and the role that social events could play in raising awareness and funds for important causes. This dance card is a precious artifact from a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the social fabric of early 20th-century London. It is a testament to the power of community spirit and the enduring importance of organizations like the MABYS in providing essential services and support to those in need.
