MONOGRAM PAPER
ACCEPTABLE GIFT
Every Woman Appreciates a Pres
emit of Refined Stationery.

Every woman loves dainty stationery
and pays due court to its fads and
foibles as she does to the minor points
about new clothes, which really IS say
ing a good deal. OF course, there may
be exceptions. but they only prove the
rule. for when one has been brought
up from school days impressed with the
anciet axiom that ones best station
cry hOuors ones friends" a breach of
fashion is almost a breach of etiquette
in this mFtter and a breach Of etiquette
in social stationery is often the thin edge
of the y edge of social ostracism. By
our stationery we are judged only too
often.
Several years ago pale blue note paper
was in good form, truly IT was fashionable
but now 1t may be used by a business
firm only; and the up-to-date woman
snubs it. In color white has foremost
place and a medium weight: white paper
is selected for both letters and notes
and by both men and women. Light
gray is also favored and pale mauve,
ASH gray and orchid" being as deep
as one dare venture in tints. With
either OF these colors the crest or mono
gram is most often stamped in a darker
shade or illuminated" which means
three colors used on a die.
Must be Carefully Placed
The monogram must be carefully
placed, and with the long dies, or elon-
gated monograms-which are more used
than any others and reasonable trade
marks-they must go to the top of the
left-hand corner. Here in America,
where it is so frequently said that We
do anything with our coat-of-arms."
there is a rule observed in spite of scorn-
ers, and that is that the crest is never
placed at one side of the paper, but
always in the center.
When the address is embossed on ones
letter paper, 1t must now be done In
heavy block type, which is English. And
in connection with addresses on paper,
a sensible fashion has crept into favor
In the matter of wedding invitations, and
this is to have the address embossed in
either silver or gold on the back of the
envelope. This insures the safe delivery
Of the letter. which has come to be so
important in the wedding Invitations as
In other social obligations.
Really the address is all that may be
added to the flap of the envelope The
olden mode OF a monogram or q crest
