ErEW persons need to be told that
1 the initials r. s. V. p. stand for the
French, "Repondez s'il vous plait,"
that is, "reply if you please" But
apparently there are a good many
persons who do need to be told that
when those initials are on an invita-
ton 1t is imperative that either regrets
or acceptances be sent within a day
or two of the receipt of the invitation.
The fact that there are such people
is quife obvious to any one who has
sent out formal invitations with this
formal request for an answer. for
there are always plenty of invited
guests who come without signifying
their intention to do so and even more
who remain away without sending
their regrets. Some persons really
seem to think that ait Is all matter

say. "In big affair like that it

GREAT BARE FACTS

THE Great Trees in the forest stood

colored dresses that Mistress Fall had
given them in place of their pretty
summer clothes.
But the evergreen trees were still
dressed and they cried "Shamew to
the tall bare trees as they shivered
in the winter winds.
AT first the Great Trees did not
notice the evergreens and held their
poor naked heads high with pride above
their gowned neighbors. but 1t
was no use pretending. for, as the
days went by, the evergreens became

never beheld.
The Fairy Queen had sent the snow
fairies and Jack Frost 70 dress the
Great Trees. They wore diamonds and
their long branches were powdered
with sparkling frost, and there they
stood like great kings dressed in white
rand silver.
The eyergreens were certain that
the next day, when the sun came out,
the Great Trees would be naked
again. but they were more wonderful
in their splendor as the sunlight fell
upon them.
And no more did the evergreens cry
"Shamer' to the Great Trees, for all
through the winter did the Fairy
Queen keep them dressed in their
sparkling clothes.
