Now that the season Of weddings, parties
and balls is once more approaching, little
! questions Of etiquette arise that have lain
dormant during the summer. So long as
hosts and guests remain, invitations will
/ be given and must be met. Venus" has
entered into q dispute, but whether her
| cOmbatant be Cupid or no, rhe does not
see tit to state A discussion as to the
! polite form Of acknowledging an invita-
| tiOn is the question at issue. In this situa-
| ton she must use judgment If she has
| been so unfortunate as TO receive an invita-
/ ton, be il 10 party or ball, the recipient Is
/ privileged 70 answer il as best pleases
/ her: it only requires to be answered.
/ Wedding cards for the church
/ demand no answer, unless one cares to
write a note of friendly congratulation.
| Regrets to a home may take the form Of q
/ polite note, and be couched in simple terms,
/ or they may be conveyed on the calling
/ card, sent 10 the house. A simple appro-
\ pirate form OF regret for a dancing or card
\ party, luncheon or dinner (these always
| requiring acknowledgements, reads Mrs,
I Henry Blank regrets she is unable to &C
/ cept Mr.. and Mrs. rs kind invitation for
I Monday evening, August 81" A more
! elaborate form may be used at the dis
/ erection Of Mrs Blank. Afternoon recep-
\ ton or teas require only that the
\ calling card be left at the home Of the
! hostess during the hours Of the enter
I tainment. To accept an invitation q
\ simple way is to enclose card bearing
\ the additional written words: "Compll-
ments and acceptance A more polite
| form is: Mrs Henry Blank accepts with
! pleasure the kind invitation of Mr.. and
/ Mrs. rs for Monday evening, August 81. !"
! All regrets from persons who are not able
/ TO accept an invitation should contain a
reason for regretting. A form of regret
/ that well-meaning but thoughtless people
often adopt, is the mere statement that
| they regret they are unable TO accept. )"
| This NAV convey the idea Of impossibility
or Discrimination, and TO avoid any sem
blance of the latter, the reason should be
stated To say, "Mr. and Mrs Blank de-
cline Mr.. and Mrs. rs invitation" is a
solecism.

One Of the speakers on dress reform at
the Chautauqua Convention, in comment
ing on the changes which had taken place
in the past six centuries, remarked that
600 years ago men wore attires almost
identical with those Of women, and that
when reform began TO creep in a shorten
ing of the skirt was the first step toward
| Than she rnrnQrxad with n
deal OF commentator, as a remarkable
coincidence, that the first change advocated
Tor women was a shortening Of the skirt,
and she put the subject forward with con-
siderable satisfaction. The amusing part
Of this is that two or three years ago, when
the dress agitation swept with renewed
vfgor over the country, fashion did demand
that women should shorten their skirts,
| and for several seasons the short dress pre-
vailed in walking dresses, and many ball
dresses did not drag on the floor Now,
some may think il is pity that this reform
was not a virtuous change instead OF fad,
but truth will prevail. The decree has
gone forth, and dresses once more sweep
the floor.

The girls must certainly have been ex-
changing some very charming condolences
| concerning the reasons for certain weddings
not very far away from them-nothing
could have made their dimples quite so
| deep or their eyes so dewily brilliant How
perfectly lovely and delightful IL all is.
/ why, the very air is redolent with orange
/ blossoms, and the wedding march Is the
| one and only expression of musical sound.
/ The human creature who doesn't love a
girl who goes into this wedding business
in serious earnest, simply deserves eternal
