The following from the Beilaire
Independent hits the nail squarely
on the head: "Cards of thanks" are
not now considered the correct
thing-in fact, it is called decidedly
bad taste to publish them. For
three or four years the leading
papers have refused to accept them
at all. When one comes to think of
it, the putting Of card OF thanks in
a paper shows nothing more than a
knowledge that such proceeding is
or has been customary. In this
civilized country a family in which
there is sickness or death is natural
ly the recipient Of flowers and such
assistance as the nature OF the case
requires, either in caring for the
sick or performing the last sad Of
fees for the dead, and the family
would naturally feel grateful. But
to express their gratitude In such
public manner as card OF thanks is
certainly not good taste"
