lnSociaI Circles

= It Is necessary to call the attention of
the many Journal readers who kindly
furnish news items to the infexible rule
of the office that all contributions must
be accompanied by the signature and ad-
dress of the correspondent, in order to
assure publication. All such contribu-
tiOns for the social and club departments
must reach the editor of these depart
ments not later than 12 o'clock and should
be in the office as early in the. morning
as possible. Properly signed notices re-
ceived through the mails will receive
as careful attention as those, given in
person. The departments can also be
reached by telephone. '
Owing to the pranks of malicious mis-
chief makers it. is necessary to- add the
further restriction that notices of we'd
dings or engagements must either be
signed by one of the contracting parties
or member of their family. Otherwise,
persons sending such communications
must give evidence of their authority. to
act for the parties concerned = -
T h e j ur n a uses all possible care
to avoid being an innocent party to any
of the cont emptible practical Jokes
brought about by the publication of false
REPORTS but is not gifted with powers Of
divination. By carefully planned decep
tion it was led to publish this week, the
apparently bona fide announcement of the
gust Dunning, only to learn later that
there was not the slight est foundation for
the statement that had been received at
the Office properly signed. This proved to
be one part of series of petty persecu-
tions to which the young man had been
subjected. Several other occurrences of
similar nature impel this explanation
of the necessity of strictly enforcing the
| rule in regard to signatures.
The statement above Will account to a
considerable number of people, for the
suppression of news items sent to the
office. They were without signature or
clue for their verifcation and went into
t he waste basket.
