appreciate your advising me of a
good one. s.
There is no special etiquette rule
that covers elopements. Since this is,
Of course, the most informal kind Of
marriage, no formal rule would neces-
sarily cover it.
The couple could just tell their close
friends, and let it 20 at that. And
the news would go" fast enough, ]
am sure. Or they could tell some
people whom they happen to be with,
and write to other friends and rela-
tions whom they wish to have know.
The other way 10 announce this
kind Of marriage is the formal way of
announcing any marriage, by formal
announcement by the parents of the
bride. This should be engraved. This
Is the form:
Mr.. and Mrs. Brides Parents)
announce the marriage of their
daughter
Mary
TO
Mr.. John Smith
on Monday the twenty-first of
June
One thousand nine hundred and
twenty-five
at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Il have changed the usual second
line-'have the honor to announce
to Announce the marriage Of their
daughter" which perhaps would be
a bit better for an informal marriage
announced at such late date.)
The form you suggest is too in
formal. and would, / think. only
serve to call attention to the informal
ity and unconventio.lality of the mar
riage. If the couple IRE to send any
announcement, il should be in formal
form"
Also, in Wedding announcements. it
is better form to include the place in
which the marriage took place. And
there should be no figures: these
should be spelled out.

Yes or No?

/. Is it possible to reduce too much
and too fast?
2. Is cottonseed oil a good substi'
tute for olive oil in food?
8. Some rat exterminators have
been forbidden in certain states. Is it
because of ineffectiveness?
4. Is all sugar equally sweet?
3. 90 other countries use as many
telephones as the United States?
Answers to these questions may be
found.
l. Yes. Too rapid reduction in
weight may cause degenerative
changes, upset digestion and circula-
ton and, in case of heart LESSONS, may
even cause death.
.. No. There is a poison in cot
tonseed oil known as gossypol. Cake
made with this oil has been known to
cause blindness in cattle in three
months.
3. No. Bacterial rat extermina-
tors have been forbidden in some
states because of the danger of con-
tamination of human food.
/. No. Taking ordinary cane sugar

ness when high calorie intake is inn
