n'Fersaries until tho Diamond Wedding has baer
reached, a rare occurrence indeed, as it must EN-
brace sorenty-hFe yeafB Of married life. There
was one celebrated in Florida about two ya.rS
ago. The invitations for these are in crystal let
ters, representing diamonds, on sheet OF gold,
and the gifts arc precious stonea. One need
scarcely place any restrictions here, for it is m
occasion OF such rare occurrence as to be worthy
any recognition deemed suitable. a recent occa-
sion OF thus kind in Germany was considered de-
serving OF the notice Of the Emperor.
Where wedding occurs in church, it is con-
sidored good taste to hare the invitation
engraved in the Missal text OF the thirteenth
century. Tho reception-card then accompanies
it, engraved In the same STYLE, whether inn-
mediate]y following or for later date. It being
customary abroad to kAye 4 solemn betrothal
preceding the wedding, the following card,
known as the "NnptiM- M-Eugascment Gard" is
sent to the friends Of the family, which translated
