Career Boy was right on the spot
to-day, at the top OF the Expert

raced each April at Jamaica,
with starters carrying the

race is the first 3-year-old test
of the New York season.
This is the second time Kilroe

MODERN
MANNERS
On The Important Question of
Answering Wedding Invitations
By CAROLYN HAcNER SHAW

Recently I had the oppor-
tunity of going over the ac-
ceptances and regrets for we'd
ding reception invitations that
had been issued by the FAM
lilies of two young brides with
whom L am acquainted.
Frankly. 1 was appalled, at
the incorrect manner in which
the acknowledgements were
written. / do not exaggerate
when l say that out of two
hundred replies. by actual
count, only five were in ac-
cordance with proper form.
Upon checking over the
Acknowledgements I came
across many that were in the
worst taste possible. Those
employing the following meth
DDS were either ignorant or
just didn't care. In many
instances ! am afraid it was
the latter, for they should have
known better!
Never Use Typewriter
Never, under any circum-
stances, should wedding re-
ception invitation be acknowl-
edged on a typewriter. To do
so is to admit a lack of knowl-
edge, or it is displaying an ut
ter lack of the fitness of things.
1t is obligatory that the reply
be hand-written.
Another form definitely
frowned upon is the use of the
small folded informal cards on
which the name of the sender
is engraved on the outside and
the message written on the in
side Of the card.
Even more out of place, is
the use of a visiting card for
expressing your acceptance OF
regret. I was amazed to see sew
eral acknowledgements done in
this manner.
Adding insult to injury, in
my opinion, was the gentleman
who wrote his acceptance on
the back of the reception in
vitatlon itself This was, of
course, completely beyond the
pale.
Points To Remember
If you really want to take
the trouble to learn the COR
rect manner in which to reply
to a wedding reception invita-
ton, the following are other
simple points to remember.
An invitation bidding you to
attend only the wedding cere-
mony at the church, does, NOT
require an answer. If asked to
attend the reception, then an
acknowledgment should be
made Immediately. Upon re-
plying you accept or regret
for the reception only. No
mention should be made that
it is wedding reception. Only
the names of those issuing the
invitation should be mentioned.
The names of the future bride
and bridegroom should not be
referred to at all,
