MODERN ETIQUETTE
 5 By Roberta Lee

Q. After shower has been given for a bride-to-be, must she send thank you" notes to all the guests?
 A. It is necessary only that she send the hostess a note of thanks It is customary, however, for the bride to entertain these guests at luncheon or tea, either before or after the wedding.
 Q. When husband and wife are invited to dinner, and it is im- possible for the husband to attend wouldn't it be all right for the wife to accept?
 A. It would be more considerate for her to decline, as her acceptance would necessitate arranging for an- other dinner partner for her.
 Q. Is the second wedding anni- versary celebrated with certain kinds of gifts?
 A. Yes; gifts of paper are appro- priate for the second anniversary.

many new improvements going in this year adding to the roll thorough appraisal of property in
 the city at the present time probably would show that the valuation is low Many taxpayers have expressed themselves to the effect that thorough reappraisal should be made. The small boat harbor is going to bring an increased volume of business to Juneau and many residents The city is in the throes of definite growing pains It is expanding beyond our realization. These are points which should be ana lyzed fairly and thoroughly It cannot be overlooked that opportunity such Juneau has at the present time to get improvements it will have to make even tually doesn't come along every day of the week

SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1888
 This is an uncertain day in plane tary direction, according to astrolo- gy. Benefic aspects apparently do- minate.
 Labor is subject to disrupting and disturbing influences with conflicts among leaders and members of inn portant unions. Public sympathy will veer against certain leaders.
 There is a sign promising to in dustrialists. Compromises with em- ployees are phophesied in many great plants.
 This is a lucky day for signing agreements of every sort and should be fortunate for workers. Manufac- turers are to need armies of men in the new year, if the stars are rightly read
 Women are well guided by the stars at this time. Their clubs and other organizations will have an active and productive season.
 This should be an suspicious weekend for short journeys and simple Inequalities. There is prom ise of friendships between men and women, but little romance
 American colleges and schools will be more crowded than ever before when the fall semesters begin. Prac- tical training will be advocated
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of changes and perplexities, but financial returns to business men should be satisfac- tory. Women will gain in income
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intelligent and guided by common sense. Many subjects of this sign of Virgo seek public serv- ice

ment, along with other factors including
the comparatively slow progress toward
Identification in some sections. has led
the Roadside Council to propose new
methods Of attack. It intends to rely
more on the creation Of certain rural dis
tricts in which all roadside advertising
is prohibited and the designation OF
otner sections In which signs may be
erected under certain conditions. The
hope is that such action will be more
effective than conventional control
through taxation and limitation on the
site and position Of signs.
Regardless Of what methods are used,
spontaneous demands for Identification
In widely separated States is indicative
Of deep public resentment against over
commercialization Of the highways. Ex-
tension of billboard legislation into
States where 1t has not existed and
Tightening Of the laws already on the
books in the others stands as a major,
worthy goal for 1898 State assemblies.

Targets.

Amelia Earhart, writing at Lac, In
New Guinea, described Rowland Island,
the objective Of her final flight, as -
fantastically tiny target" The small
spot in the Pacific" at which she was
aiming was, as she realized, a mere speck
IN an ocean Of potential disaster. Her
life and that Of her navigator. it now
seems definitely established, were to be
the price Of failure.
But Miss Earhartis venture was not
unique. Every human soul makes trial
against prodigious odds. It is part Of
the fate Of mankind to take chances
Long centuries Of experience, certainly.
have taught the race rational caution.
Yet no hour passes in which the courage
Of the children of earth is not tested.
Miss Earhart attempted to fly around
the globe. Similarly, Lett Ericsson and
Christopher Columbus sailed forth into
uncharted seas. When William Harvey

THE VIRTUE OF FORGETTING
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES E. FREEMAN D. D. LIZ d, D. c. l.,
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON.

There are times when 1t is q virtue to
forget. We generally pride ourselves on
our capacity to remember, and there Is
deep satisfaction In a retentive memory.
It serves US well and constitutes q VAL
liable asset in life. To remember, and
that at once, faces, names, important
events and incidents; to make the mind
a storehouse of valuable information and
knowledge is to enjoy one of the richest
privileges life affords. When memory
fails here 1t is an incalculable loss.
We are not thinking Of the function
OF memory In matters Of this kind. We
are thinking of the virtue of forgetting
as it concerns the unhappy and dis
appointing experiences of life. To be
able to erase from the mind everything
that is touched with shadows; incidents
and happenings that for the while en-
bittered and disillusioned us, misunder-
standings that impaired confidence and
possibly shattered long-standing init
macies; this is to be possessed Of virtue
that serves us we'll at every crossroad
in life. We can profit by unhappy events
without cherishing the memory Of them.
II can forgive, but will not forget" is
poor remedy for disappointed hopes.
Most OF the bitterness that tinctures
the mind, yes and sours it, comes from
the practice of holding tenaciously to
happenings and people that at some
time, somewhere, caused us to lose con-
f1dence in human nature. The mis-
anthrope Is never happy, contented
person.
This habit Of which we write comes
at length to cause deep lines, not only
on the heart, but on the face. Taking
life by and large over period Of years,
the average man has more days that
are sunny than days that are cloudy,
but we have an unfortunate habit Of
magnifying the sunless and remembering
only the dark ones. recall a friend
who told me that, for years he had en-
tertained suspicion of and cordial dislike
for neighbor Of his to find only after
the lapse Of many years he was utterly
misinformed and mistaken. He had
stored up an undeserved resentment only
to find that 1t had deprived him of a
