Speaking of engagements, there IS
a decided trend toward marked sim
plicity in weddings. even among the
people who could afford all the ad
juncts. 1t is now quite tho thing to
write personal notes to those whom one
wishes to be present at the ceremony.
and to send out cards for a reception
afterwards, or merely TO send an.
nouncements, giving the brides at
home days and the new address.
There are still a number of show.
ers, and pre-nuptial affairs, but they
are confined exclusively to the very
intimate friends of the bride. and are
given in most informal manner. Many
of these affairs are held in the even
ing, SO the men may participate in the
fun. and the lucky man is allowed to
feel as If he Was in it. too.
