WEDDING INVITATION

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

ton from a society girls parents,

tell me how to write this formal
reply, and also If it is necessary
to send q gift, as we only know
her father. "P."
If the formal invitation is to

ence"), it is not necessary to
acknowledge the invitation. If
the invitation is also for the re-
ception, request the pleasure Of
your company" it requires an
answer. Your answer should be
written on the first page of
double-Sheeted letter paper, Of a
dignified kind, and should be
spaced as nearly as possible like
the invitation. Since yours is a
regret, it would read like this:

accept

kind invitation for
Tuesday, the first Of September
In a regret it is obviously not
necessary to repeat the hour.
It is really impossible for a
stranger to advise you about
sending a wedding gift. The
only idea is that you send a gift
if you wish to, and don't send
one if you don't wish to. How
ever, all things being equal land
you alone would know about
thiS), since you know only the
father and since your letter regis
tiers no special interest in send

why you should send one.

There were many important
stars and players grouped about
at the various tables, among whom
we noticed Warner Baxter Qarger

saw him in New York. Then there
was the gorgeous Loretta Young,
Robert Kent, the romantic Don
Ameche and others.
Rochelle is the exotic type, but
quite in miniature form. She is
feet 4 inches high and weighs 105
pounds. One would call her a
brunette, but her hair is a dark
chestnut, and in the sunlight it is
full of glints and unusual flashes
of bronze. Her eyes are beautiful,
but the kind that change with
every mood and are difficult to de-
scribe. They have been correctly
called a smoky sapphire blue, and
her laSheS are long and natural.
It was in Oklahoma City, near
the birthplace of Will Rogers that
Rochelle was born, and she ap-
peared in four of his PICTURESQUE
ingenue lead in Life Begins at

We found her to be a gay, happy
and somewhat sophisticated girl.
She prefers sophisticated roles in
her work, too, and is much more
interested in her work than would
be expected of the average young
person.

For this type of pie, it is con.
veniert to use a pastry shell
that is not baked in the oven
but pressed into shape and also
chilled into compact hardness.
There are many of these re-
cipes. The method of making
them varies little. They all use
some type Of crisp cereal or
cracker for the base. Butter
is usually used as the binding
agent to hold them firmly in
place.
These recipes will suggest new
possibilities for varying the
pastry shell for your next lemon

This rich pastry is excellent

Here are the facts. Jerry
her baptismal name is Geraldine
has been engaged for two years
to Dan, who has an invalid
mother to look after and a sister
with an unemployed husband who
"borrows."
So Dams $25 a week is not
enough to assume any further
responsibility. These young
people may continue engaged for
10 years more, from the present
outlook of things.
Jerry is cashier in her fathers
grocery store and has a salary of
$40 a week. She wants to keep
her job and marry Dan. She is
even willing to move into the
house with Dams invalid mother
and help out there.
Family Objects
But her family is adamant
when it comes to that arrange.
ment. Her mother takes to tears
and dire prophecies, and her
father hints at disinheritance. So
life goes on in those two families
with everyone unhappy and blam.
ing everyone else.
Jerry is an only daughter. There
are two married brothers, both in
business with their father. But
while they are married and happy.
they think Jerry and Dan should
wait.
They haven't anything against
Dan except that he has "a lot Of
membranes" and they have de-
cided among themselves that he
should have at least $50 a week
before he married their sister.
Jerry is going to inherit plenty
of money on her fathers death.
He is, to use the popular express
sion, well heeled." She loves her
father, and wonders why he should
wait till he dies to be generous.
Doubtful Emotion
Young men-the kind we're glad
to have our daughters marry-are
not met on every street corner.
The generous thing would be to
give the girl part Of her inheri-
lance now. After-the-funeral gra-
titude is a doubtful emotion.
Why do parents and relatives,
whose wills are already made in
favor of some unhappy young crea,
lures, wait till death loosens their
clutch on the bank account?
The thousand or two dollars this
family might be- willing to advance
to their daughter and her fiance
against the day when the estate is
settled. would give almost as much
contentment to the father, by the
knowledge that he had given Sc
much happiness to two young PEG
pie he believes in and trusts, as it
would give to them.
The waiting may bring about
unacceptable changes in the girl
and boy. Dan may forget his
troubles in drink, and Jerry may
become bitter from hope long de,
ferred. Why, since generosity is
within the means of this family
why don't they do it now?

a color that will match or will
contrast gaily. The beret is made
with corded pleatS across the top,
just to be sure it is different, or
if you prefer you may have a
sports hat with feather, Of the

the "corSet" front, because it fits

emerald green, wine tones and
others, and there is black, too.
Hats or berets priced separately

are puffed at the shoulders and
the skirt is scanned at the cores.
