planned. Mr.. Blair must decide whether
all brewers shall be permitted to put

Delicate Decision.
One Of the most delicate prohibition
decisions Mr.. Blair will be called upon
to make. officials asserted, is in con-
nection with sacramental wine. Under
the bureaus rules, it was said. whole
sale liquor dealers have been forbidden
to do business and churches are required
to obtain wine for sacramental purposes
from wholesale druggists.
Protest has been entered by religious
bodies, officials said. on the ground that
the churches could not obtain wines Of
standard quality from the druggists.
The churchmen contend. it was ex-
planned. that wholesale liquor dealers
who confine their business to supplying
sacramental wine to religious organi-
cations should be exempted from the
bureaus ban so that the churches may
obtain tho proper wines for services.

is real occasion for a large reception.
This may he in the afternoon or eve

be from three 10 six, though guests
seldom do arrive before half past three

after the six o'clock hour. No guest,
however, would arrive after the last

Bear in mind, however, if YOU are

although Il wedding present is sent
to the bride, the anniversary present
is sent TO both husband and wife.
The question OF whether or not 10
