The custom of giving gifts to the bride
is not so arbitrary as 1t was. While all
family friends are usually glad to add
their much or little toward the setting up
of the new roof-tree, it should neither be
expected nor desired that more formal ac-
Quaintances should feel it their duty To do
so. A card or letter bearing congratula-
tons to the groom, and good wishes to the
bride. is in good form, and in fact should
never be omitted. If the invitation is sent
to Mr. and Mrs. So and So-and they can
not attcnd--a graceful fancy is to enclose
their cards IN small envelopes. Two of
the cards are simply marked Happiness, -"
and addressed to the bride, the other two

friends need only send one envelope adj

Invitations should all be sent out a least
two weeks before the great event. While
there is no decided variation from season
to season in wedding stationery, there is
n little differentiation in the size of the pa

EARNINGS OF FRENCH PLAYS.



The existence of the Society of French
Dramatic Authors makes it possible to
procure interesting statistics of the
earnings of French playwrights
During the last year. of the active
dramat1StS seven received from the So
ciety more than $780, 600 each, eight had
between $4,000 and $4,000 and ~ from
900 to $4,000.
Although the senior Dumas made a
fortune from his writings and was al
ways in financial embarrassment. his
son continued to draw large royalties
from his plays, and from the revival of
one, Henry III and His Court" the
son earned $4,000. The younger Dumas
earned fortune as we'll from the roy
alt1eS of his own plays. 1t is true that
Camille" at first yielded in royalties
only $4,000, but its receipts were much
increased later.
Richest among the French dramatists
Of recent days have been Emile Angler,
Scribe and Adolphe d Ennery. The last
lett fortune of nearly 81, SOC, 900.
Meilhac made a fortune. for he was
not only successful. but also industri-
Gus. 1t happened that at one time when
he was in his prime Ia theaters in Paris
performed on the same evening plays
by him and Halevy.
In one year he earned in ROYALTIES
$4,000 He was generous and extrava-
CANT, however, and left no great fortune
behind him.
Edmond Rostand. with "Cyrano de
Bergerac" and "LAiglon," has earned
more than any other French dramatist
The daily receipts of the latter play
during several hundred performances at
Sarah Bernhardt's theater in Paris were
1920. of which the dramatist received
$500.
