to the Post Office Department at Washington
that tho Tubular Dispatch Company be required

by men experienced in the work. Tho recon-.
mendation was approved by the department
and the Tubular Dispatch Company was notified
to furnish skilled operatives.
AS 1t had been stated by representatives OF the
Tubular Dispatch Company that the accidents
were due to the inexperience OF the Post Oflce

had no consistent course open to 1t but acqui.

Wedding Arrangements.

A reader asks: 1. Is 1t proper to
send announcement cards to the sisters
of the groom IL they are not at tho
wedding? 2. Should ono wear hat and
gloves If married in n travelling Dress
8. Is a bride ever attended by two la
dies and no other escort; and II so.
where do the ladies stand? Answer: 1.
Il certainly would be good form to send
the cards to all OF the relatives. Such
little cour;esles should never be omit
ted. 2. II n is married at home the
hat and gloves are not needed, but IL
the ceremony Is performed in church
good sense demands that they be worn.
3. There Is no reason why two ladies'
may not attend a bride; indeed. It
might be a very pretty Idea. They
shonld stand just at the side of tho
bride, and on a line q tpile back Of
her position.
