SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Fashionable Wedding Invitations-Recep-
ton and Church Admission Cards

Fashionable Wedding Irvitations-Recep-
ton and Church Admission Cards.
According to social etiquette of New York.
invitations to weddings are now engraved
upon one sheet Of paper, the separate cards
OF bride and groom being seldom in use. The
paper is thick fine and shaped 50 as TO fold
once. II cipher, monogram or crest Of the
brides family be used upon the paper, it
should not be printed IN color for weddings.
and the center Of the top OF the page is the
proper position for IL The engraving Is
plain script. The phrase request your pres
ence' is rather more disuified and impressive
than request your company" though tie
latter is often used The reception card IN
closed, with the invitation proper, Ia in the
form OF an Eat home" The admission card
to the church is long and narrow, and bears
neatly and plainly engraved in script the
name OF the church and tine Of ceremony.
Tickets Of admission 70 q wedding are IN
willingly used, but experience has proved
that there are weddings at which they are
al unpleasant necessity. One or more OF
these cards are inclOsed IL the envelopes
which cover the ceremonial invitation and
reception card They are intended for dis
tribut!on to personal friends Of the invited
and for servants who accompany guests TO
the church
The order Of the religious part Of the mar
risge ceremony Is fixed by the church in
which il occurs; but there ere pleasant, pic
turesque effects and agreeable and significant
surprises that msy be added 70 the old fash
ioned, staid regulations. These added ettrac-
tons establish in the minds OF those present
a distinct remembrance Of an event thas
should always remain q pleasant memory,

In this game each player has not to leap
over long line Of backs in succession, but
one lad only acts SIS Jumping block, and must
continue % do so until one Of his play fellows,
By making some blunder, is compelled by the
rules Of the game TO take his place. In Span
ish fy various figures, SO TO speak, have to
be enacted, and these may be varied accord
ing to the fancy and taste Of the players. The
following are the most usual
One player having volunteered his back,
the next to him vaults over, and must man
age in his passage to deposit his cap on the
back of the first player II he fails to do this,
he must become back himself The other
players then follow in succession, and, IN
leaping, must avoid touching the cap that
lies on their friends back; any one displacing
il becomes back" and the game recon-
mences. Another figure consists in each
player depositing a handkerchief, rolled up
into the shape Of an eel, over the back Of which
he jumps, and at the next round, supposing
all the handkerchiefs duly deposited in Line,
each player must pick up his own without
displacing the others Or the leader may set
the example, while taking bis leap with one
hand to help him over, OF lifting of his cap
with the other and finging it on the ground
before him; then, in the next round, each
must pick UP his own cap. without removing
his heels from the place where he alights
after his leap. Thus the game nay be carried
on IN endless variety by varying the figure.

MIGHTY WAR VESSELS.
Launch of a Dynamite Cruiser
and the GunbOat Yorktown.
A New Era Begun in American
Naval History.

There have been many launches OF big and
little ships, iron and wooden, in years gone
by at Cramps shipyard, in Philadelphia, but
never in the history of the city was so much
excitement created as the dual launch on
Saturday of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius
and the gunboat Yorktown.
What made it particularly notable was
that it is the first launching for years OF a
war vessel there, that there were two SHIPS
to slide into the water and that Congress
would be in town to witness the event.
At noon the excursion steamer Columbia,
Captain George Tyler, lay at the pier at the
foot of Washington street, adjacent to the
old Navy Yard of blessed memories. She
had been chartered by the Secretary of the
Navy to convey his Congressional party from
the cars to Cramps yard. The steamer was
gayIy decked out in bunting, and after re-
ceiving her cargo of distinguished people,
took up good position in view of the event
Strange to say, on the Columbia there were
166 members of the House of Representa-
tives, which 10 three more than Is necessary
for quorum.
At three o'clock the Yard Superintendent
reported everything ready for the launch
and Mr.. Charles Cramp gave the command,
with the consent of the Secretary of the
Navy, to "Let go the breaks of the Y ork-
town. Whack, whack, sounded the maulS as
the men struck the chunks away, and just as
this big iron hull began to slide riverward Miss
May Cameron, daughter of Senator Cameron,
of Pennsylvania, whacked the gunboat over
her nose with bottle of champagne, held by
red, white and blue ribbons 1t broke and as
the wine spilled all down over the ships rigid
iron and paint, this lovely girl said: Il
baptize thee Yorktown" The Yorktown be
gan to move at six and half minutes past
three o'clock, and fiOated gracefully on the
Delaware within a minute.
Hardly had the excitement over the first
event subsidized when it broke out afresh over
the dynamite cruiser, which lay on its ways,
near the place the Yorktown had left Miss
man Breckenridge, of Kentucky, performed
the christening function for the dynamite
cruiser, as Miss Cameron had for the gun
boat. As she broke the bottle over her bow
this Blue Grass belle exclaimed, 81 baptize
thee Vesuvius." This was indeed news to
even the Secretary's intimate friends, as he
had kept it a secret till, at the last moment,
to call the cruiser Vesuvius. The VesuviuS
glded graceful on her element four minutes
after the York own
