forever.
Every girl dreams Of being
loved madly, wildly, and ro-

It is astonishing how much a

that he DOESN'T understand the

CORRECT
MANNERS
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
LIN acknowledging wedding
presents is it not better to
use correspondence cards in
stead Of the regular printed
forms sold in stationery shops?
EIrl acknowledging gifts
should mention be made Of the
particular gift received
r.
lit IS terrible 2ornn-no
form at sii-to uye the ready
made printed cards for ac-
knoWledghcg wedding presents.
Lean think or liothing that is
such q social insult as having q
printed card sent TO one In re.
sponse to the kind ,thoughtful-
ness that one tries to use when
buying q wedding present. Any.
one who sends such q card
should hang her head in
shame. Such q lack of fine
feeling. is deplorable.
And I think too that you
should not "cramp" your style
by using 4 correspondence card,
and you viii limit what you
have to say if you use these
cards. Correspondence cards are
for the slightest Of notes, and
an Acknowledgement Of q wed
ding Gift should be more than
a slight note. It should be ar
ticulate an appreciation of
kindness, friendlineSS and gen.
eToSity. And it should chat
about the gift.j So you had
best have on hand q generous
supply of your most stylish
letter paper. and use this for
your notes. Make your notes
proud that they come from
you!
2. Yes. 1t is socially gauche
to write your gift" and dis
tinctly gives the impression
that there Is q possibility that
you have forgotten which gift
it is. BY ali means mention
the gift, interpret its beauty,
its usefulness, or both, where
you are going to place it, It's
appropriateness for your home,
and similar items that will
make the sender glad that he
or she sent that particular
thing.
