leI AM about to be married." Is the
L way one correspondent starts her
query. but we have not announced
our engagement, as we wish to give
our frienL genuine surprise. We are
going to slip off some day soon and get
married, but want to send wedding
cards. Will you kindly tell me how
they should be wordsd?'
To begin with, do not attempt any
thing original or informal. 1t is quite
all right to announce an engagement in
an original way. but the wedding an
nouncement should he entirely formal.
In most cases the announcements
should be sent out in the name Of the
BRIDES parents. or those who stand in
the place Of a parent in case the bride
is an orphan, or an aunt, uncle or
grandparent. If possible, have these
announcements engraved and send
them out the day of the marriage as
soon as it is over Have all envelopes
addressed and stamped and ready to
send out directly. ALI announcements
should be sent at exactly the same
time. Here is the usual form:
Mr. and Mrs John Brown
have the honor to announce
the marriage of their daughter
Anne
to
Mr.. James Smith Jones
on Thursday, May the eighth
nineteen hundred and twenty-five
at ST. Thomas church
New York.
If it Is grandparent, sister or broth
er whose name need not be the same
as the bride, then in place Of the single
word Anne, on the fourth line should
be inserted Miss Anne Brown"
In the unusual event that the con
rtracting persons have no near relatives
to send these announcements they may
send an announcement worded thus:
Mr.. James Smith Jones
and
Miss Anne Brown
have the honor to announce
their marriage
on Thursday. May the eighth
etc.
# you do not feel that you can af'
ford engraved announcements the best
thing to do would be to write letters
on the day Of the wedding, to be post
ed Immediately afterwards. telling
your-nearest friends OF the event. but
wording them as you would any other
friendly note. It is good idea to
send an announcement to the society
editor of Your local paper also, because
the chances are that the paper will get
news of the event, and surely you
want to do everything in your power
to make their notice Of the event ac-
curate. -"
There is no reason why any one who
wishes to do so should not have this
quiet sort of marriage without pre-
viouslyJ announced engagement; how
ever. the fact is that :ociety girls sci.
dom do. nor do persons who occupy
rather high position socially, unless, Of
course, there is parental objection and
the event is in the nature Of an elops'
ment.

"Ah!" Mr.. Gibney leveled horny
forefinger at the engineer. That's
where you hit the nail on the head.
He's too fly, and there's only two

by some sixth sailor sense Neils Hal
vorsen became convinced that his old
friends Of the vegetable trade were
marooned. 1hey had gone ashore for
some kind Of frolic. and the crew
had stolen the schooner and left them
TO their fate. believing that the cast
aways would never be heard from
and that dead men tell no tales.
He rushed on deck carried his prls-
oner down into the cabin, and locked
the door on him. A minute later he
was clInglng TO the Jacobs ladder,

vessel at his gruff command and
passed on shorewnrd without missing

later. accompanied by three Kanaka
sailors picked up at random along the
water front, Nells Halvorsen was
pulled out TO the Maggie III. Her
crew had not returned and the bogus
captain was still trlced hard and fast
In the cabin.
The Swede did not bother to inves-
tigate In detail the food and water
supply A hasty round OF the schoon-
er convinced him that she had at
least months supply OF food and
water. Only one thought surged
through his mind. and that was the
awful necessity for haste. The an
chor came In with a rush, the Ka-
naka boys chanting song that
sounded to Neils like n funeral dlrge,
and Neils went below and turned the
gasoline engines wide open. The
Maggie III swung around and with n
long streak Of opalescent foam trail
ing behind her swung down the bay
and faded at last In the ghostly moon
light beyond Diamond head; after
which Neils Halvorsen. with murder

cabin and talked to the man who
posed as Captain Scraggs. In the end
he got confession. Fifteen minutes
later he emerged, smiling grimly, gave
the Kanaka boy at the wheel the
course, and turned In to sleep the
sleep Of the conscience-free and the
weary.
Darkness was creeping over the
