An accident that threatened to prove
serious marred the pretty arrangements
of one Of the weddings of the week.
1t was an early morning ceremony and
the church was thronged with the
friends of the bridal couple. Whether
1t was the excitement, the fasting, the
crowd of people or the heavy fragrance
of many flowers, nobody knows, but
just as the priest was about to pro-
nounce the benediction the bride
tainted. She fell, striking the back
of her head and driving the combs she
wore in her hair into her scalp. A.
doctor was hastily summoned and sew
eral stitches were taken in the wound
before the bride was restored to con-
seriousness.
For goodness sake, do be careful in
addressing your invitations or you will
have the experience Of hostess at one
of the recent large receptions. In max
ing out her list from the Blue Book she
inadvertently directed a card to the
wrong-Brown, we will say, because
that is not anywhere near the real
NAME Not until the Invitation was
posted did she realize what she had
done, and then she was sadly perplexed.
She did not know the Mrs. Brown she
had invited, and felt that some explain
alton was due her, only she did not
want to make it. Now Mrs. Brown has
social aspirations, and the receipt of
the card filed her with a joy that was
speedily communicated to her friends
iste and ordered a new gown, regardless
it must be ready for Mrs So-and-So IS
affair. In the meantime, puzzled. Mrs
So-and-So had asked the advice of a
friend, who promptly offered to explain
matters to Mrs. Brown and save her
from the embarrassment Of acknowl
edging an invitation from a woman she
did not know. But when she called
Mrs. Brown up over the telephone, the
latter absolutely refused to understand
She had her invitation, she had ordered
a new gown and she intended to 60 to
the reception whether she knew the
hostess or not. And she did, and was
quite as important and fine as any guest
there. And the moral Of all this is
be sure you have the right name and
address before you send your invita-
tion.
" edo you, know why 20 to recep.
tions,' whispered woman at one OF
the affairs of the week. cit is because
[ want people to come to mine. There
are times when you simply have to bal
ance your social books, and the only
way you can do it with any satisfac
tion is by giving a reception and invit
ing everyone. I know they are stupid
and uninteresting, but you cannot enter
tain several hundred people SO well an6

as a matter Of social reciprocity viii
