all. The reason for this pro-
cedure is that you are ac-
knowledeing the invitation to
the reception ONLY. and
the wedding ceremony itself
doesn't come into 1t at all.
Just a word in passing.
Never. under any circum-
stances, should a wedding re-
ception invitation be an
swered on a typewriter. To
do so is TO admit to the world
that you have an utter lack
Of the fitness Of things.
Questions and Answers
Question II recently at
tended an afternoon recep-
ton. I noticed in some cases
that the woman followed her
escort through the receiving
line. and in others just the
opposite-she preceded him.
Which is correct in this case2
Mrs. j. B. j.
Answer-The proper pro-
cedure in this case is for the
woman to precede her escort
when going through a receiv-
ing line.
y -
QuestiOn--My husband re-
Gently died. His daughter.
by his first marriage, has,
made her home with us for
years. She is to be married
in the near future. How
should I word the wedding in,
vitation? Should / refer to
her as my "step-daughter"?
Mrs. L. r. T.
Answer-It is not incorrect
to refer to her as your "step-
daughter" but / personally
feel that this wording. aside
from sounding rather cold,
is decidedly awkward. It
would seem preferable to
word it as follows: Mrs.
Francis william Case, re-
quests the honor of your
presence, at the marriage Of
Mr.. Cases daughter Mary
Ellen to Mr.. John Edward
Brown, etc."
y i M
Question: am sending out
invitations for a small re-
ception to be held between
the hours Of Z and 9. How
shall ! indicate that the
guests are to wear afternoon
clothes?-Miss M. j. B.
Answer - Place the word
informal" in the lower left
hand corner of your invita-
ton. While not considered
the correct procedure in years
gone by, I strongly advocate
its use today. particularly for
the evening hours. How else
can the recipient know what
to wear?

MANNERS
Here Is Advice on Whot to Do
About Wedding Invitations
BY CAROLYN HAcNER SHAW

Perhaps your mode Of life
doesn't include the receipt Of
formal invitations for lunch
cons. dinners or evening af-
fairs, so how to answer them
is of no concern to you. How
ever, I think most Of US. par
ticularly at this time Of year,
receive wedding invitations.
II the letters I receive are
any criterion, IL would seem
that the correct procedure
to follow when replying to
such an invitation causes
much indecision and pen
chewing. Perhaps the follow
ing suggestions will help.
Suppose you receive a we'd
ding ceremony invitation, en-
graved as follows:
M. and Mrs. james Edword Jones
request the honour Of your presence
at the moniose Of their doushter
Frances Anne
10
Mr.. Edword Allan Johnson
Saturday, June Fourteenth
at holt after four o'clock
St. Johns Church
This invitation does NOT
require an answer. Had the
ceremony been taking place
in the home. then an ac-
acknowledgement should go out
Immediately, for this auto
matically includes the re-
ception to follow. Otherwise.
If asked only to the church,
no reply is necessary.
Should you receive an in
vitation such as the above.
with a small card asking you
to the reception, then an
answer is definitely called for.
Usually this card is engraved
somewhat as follows:
Reception
from five to seven o'clock
the Ritz Hotel
The fovour Of a reply IS requested
$50 Central Avenue
The acknowledgment should
be hand-written on good
grade WHITE tnever colored)
stationery and should be
worded and spaced as follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomos vonce Smith
accept with pleasure
the kind invitation Of
M. ana MRS. Jones
to q reception
on Saturday, June Fourteenth
five to seven o'clock
The Ritz Hotel
The envelope should be adj
dressed to Mrs. James Ed
ward Jones at the address
given in the lower left hand
corner of the card.
There are two points to
notice particularly. First, that
no mention is made that it
is a wedding reception; sec
ond, that the bride and BRIDE
groom are not referred to at
