Proper Style
For orWedding
Numbers Should Be
Written Out in a
Formal Form.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Some one called
my attention to the fact some
time ago that wedding announcements
no longer include the wording "in the
city of =" Will you tell me the
why of this? think the longer form
so much nicer than the currently
favored New York" or Detroit" To
my great distress I notice that the
newest edition of your book gives this
same abbreviated form.
Answer: am very glad to have this
chance to make a personal comment
on this form, which appears in the
latest edition of my book. had no
choice but to include it since the
phrase "in the city of" has disap-
peared from present day usage in
New York, where mention of State is
superflous as we'll as in Springfield.
for example, where "in the City of
Springfield" would require an ad-
dtional line "in the State of (Which
ever one it may be-. Personally, I
prefer "in the City of Chicago" or
Boston" or whenever a city is the
only one of its name. and designation
OF State is therefore unnecessary. But
since this is merely my own choice,
it seemed best to omit it from a book
of reference. There is one correction,
however, which I should like to make.
In an announcement which uses
numeral figures in place of numbers
written in full I very much prefer
that the wording be the equally cor
rect:
Mr.. and Mrs. John Fairplay
announce the marriage of their
daughter
Tuesday, April 27th. 1887
90 East 72nd Street
New York.
The example in my book follows
the form that is chosen by the ma
jority Of smart people today:
Mr.. and Mrs. John Fairplay
have the honor of
announcing the marriage of their
daughter
followed by the ending given above.
My personal objection to it is that
"have the honor of announcing" does
not 60 with the brevity of numerals
This more formal and longer wording
would be in better balance with num-
bers written out.
1t is probable that the shortened
forms have been designed to meet the
requirements of economy by reducing
the amount of engraving required in
the longer forms. At least, that is
the best reason I can give for their
acceptance.

got her for wife When she fails to
do this it is ofterfer than not because
she holds the mistaken belief that men

things as women do.
In spite Of all evidence to the con-

of the feminine sex, and so they make

Beauty Hints
For a Tall
Woman
Extreme Simplicity
Is Recommended
In the Evening.
By ELSIE PIERCE,

CHE is the highest paid dramatic
actress on the air today
in her early thirties with a complexion
as fiawlessly lovely as that of her
9-year-old daughter. She Is tall,
statuesque and blond. She believes
that one should experiment with color
and looks we'll in black, pastels and
vivid colors, although she favors blue
| to match her eyes. She recommends
extreme simplicity for all tall young
women who would be beautiful in the
evening. Simplicity. clever tailoring.
good line and perfect posture; these
are the essential ingredients that make
a tall woman look regal and smart to
the point where she wins the soubriquet

Here are few unusual beauty hints
which I cleaned from Miss johnson.
When tired she finds an EPSON salts
bath most relaxing. 1t takes away
aches and pains after strenuous exer-
else such as skating. She never takes
too hot a bath. When just COM

taken at bedtime invites sleep.
Sleep, by the way, is something she
particularly emphasized, plenty Of 1t
to keep the eyes bright and shining.
plenty Of it to tighten problems which,
when you are tired, seem to weigh so
heavily on your shoulders.
When tired she also covers her face
with pure olive oil before getting into
a warm bath. Her skin is thoroughly
cleansed first with warm water and a
mild soap made with olive oil. Making
a thick suds, she makes sure every
trace Of dust and CRIME is removed,
then rinses her face in warm water,
then cold. Then she uses cleansing
cream. Then the olive oil which she
finds relaxes and refreshes her skin.
She also uses the olive Oil around ewes
and mouth, smoothing it gently into
the skin.
More oil for her eyelids during the
day: brown eyeshadow at night. And
another hint: She uses paste rouge,
tiny bit in quite dark color. blend
ing it over foundation cream, then she
pats cold water on cheeks to set the
color.

than in April. 1887. and in the first
four months of this year were only
19 per cent under the like 1887
period, the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond reported this noon.
The notable increase was partly
due to the difference in the date of
Easter in 1888 and 1887. For that
reason the Richmond bank combines
sales for March and April and reports
that sales here were off per cent
in the two months compared with
year ago.
The Washington April gain is just
under the 10 per cent advance for
the whole fifth district, which made
the best April showing of any of the

more than II per cent in April Bal
timore sales were up IA per cent and

The fact that sales in the first four

give stock market leadership for a
resumption of the April-May recovery
today
Most industrials were slow to respond
to the bullish signals hoisted in the
power division, but gains ranging to
2 points or more were general through
out the list.
Profit-taking retarded the advance
as leading shares approached the

utility shares succeeded in pushing
ahead to new peaks for the recovery.
Rails fell in step with the rise and
carrier bonds added their strength to
a further advance in the investment
market.
Transactions slowed a bit, totaling
about 100000 shares.
Utility holding shares continued to
hold the speculative spotlight on re-
ports of cooperative moves among
Federal authorities and private in
terests for solution of the industrys
problems
Key commodities attracted more

In Nebraska there is a town

idea of having boys town for
homeless boys was the conception
of Father Edward j. Flanagan of
Omaha, Neb. The town is stu
ated 10 miles west of Omaha and
comprises a million-dollar plant
with 800 acres of farmland, II
modern buildings and accommo-
dations for 200 boys. It is a self
governing community with the
control completely in the hands Of
the boys.
There is boy mayor and six
commissioners comprising a city
council. The board of advisers
consists of members of the school
faculty.
