STYLES in INVITATIONS.
How They Should Be Written and Ad :
dressed Correctly.

dressed Correctly.
Women write on the first and third
pages Of a sheet of note paper, leaving
the second and fourth pages blank,
but in social life this practice is better
avoided. And postscripts are now
more honored in the breach than the
observance. A few people write their
initials or their name in full in the
corner Of the envelope, but this is a
mere fad and too often serves as con-
cession to curiosity. When a note is
sent by hand that needs reply, the
word Answer should be written on
the tep. of the envelope, and mo an
swer" usually appears when no re-
Spouse is required. "Please forward"
is the correct term when letter may
have to be readdressed, and "Faire
suivre' is its French equivalent. When
a letter begins Dear SIR or Madam"
the name OF the person addressed
must be written at the end of the let
ter, "To John White, Esq.," 'To the
Manager of the Chicago Telephone
Company" ITO the Editor Of the Chi
cago Tribune"
Notes of invitation to luncheon
should be brief and couched in the
simplest terms available. The express
sion "Will you give us the pleasure of
your company?' sounds out of date
and pretentious. The word lunch
con- must be used, as 'lunch" belongs
to the list of what are termed second
rate expressions" A note to an init
mate friend might run thus: "Will you
and your husband luncheon with us
next Tuesday, the Sd, at 2 o'clock
Hoping to see you, i remain, yours
sincerely etc. But if the invitation
happens to be written to some one less
well known the note might be worded
as follows: Dear Mrs. Martin, if you
| have nothing better to do, will you
luncheon~with us on Friday next, the
1st, at / As? Hoping to have the pleas
ure of seeing YOU" etc. And If the
husband is invited he should be styled
MIR. Martin"
In all cases where you are in doubt
it is better to err on the side of sim
plicity. Everybody admires common
sense and directness of expression, and,
regardless of set forms, you cannot go
far wrong IL you say what there is to
be said in we'll chosen and simple
words. Naturalness always is in good
taste, and the most critical persons are
quickest to detect the high flown affec-
tation of a writer who tries to put on
style" and only manages to be artifi-
oial

How to Max. Dainty Sandwiches.

II housekeeper has grown tired OF
the conventional sandwich, she should

Corn Clubs to Exhibit.

There is no doubt that at the 1909
state fair the management will be put
to it in order to make room for all the
exhibits from the corn clubs. On the
supposition that of the forty counties
now organized so per cent. will be repre-
scented at the state fair, it is easy to
figure out that the space necessary will
be larger than that devoted to any one
line outside of machinery and live stock.
The department of agriculture is endeav-
,ying to get the names and addresses of
the corn club boys and the culture club
girls, in order that literature that will be
interesting and helpful may be sent to
them.

Many Oil Mills Close.

Eighty per cent. of the cotton oil mills
in Mississippi have closed down for the
season and the remainder will finish their
runs by the middle of March. The crush
ing season of 19Os-O9 has been an UNI
usually short one, but when the figures
are all in it will doubtless show that
it has been the most profitable season in
several years. The success of the crush

.ELkS' ENTERTAINMENT
 WILL BE MARCH f
There Will Be Short, Snsppy Cam paign Of Rehearsals-

Last night at the Elks' theater was a meeting of all those who are going to participate In the coming vaudeville show. The meting was as placid as 6 summer lane until the announcement was made that the date of the per formance was to be on the 11th of next month.
 When this horrible blow was deliv- cred the meeting assumed the aspect of debating society in a lunatic asy- lum on a hot night MT. Bullard ac- complaining the most difficult feat in remonstrance by spinning three times around on his head. MT. Ingles' imita- ton of bouncing ball in his efforts to say that 1t was impossible. WAS the next most startling feature of the evening The rest came under the wire punched One of the gold-brick gentlemen who has this entertainment in charge is proceeding to get in his fine work, finally convinced the disor- dered aggregation that it was not only possible. but that 1t was a certainty, and before the meting adjourned every member was enthusiastic for that one date and would listen to no other.
 It has been proven many times that the faster one makes entertainers pre- pare for the opening night the better the performance, so let the public take warning that if an Elk is met on the street muttering to himself he is not mad. but rehearsing, and if in the evening one is seen hurrying down the street toward the theater, please do not stop him, for it may be depended upon that at that moment there are twenty impatient Elks wondering where he dickens he is. The Republi- can can now breathe more freely since it knows that the date of the annual entertainment is to be on March II.
