NORTH PLATTE SEMI-wEEICLY TRIBUNE. ,1 'he 'Right Thing al i)ie BV MARU S THE WEDDING "A tiling of custom 'tis no other." Shakespeare. T AM about to bo married," Is tbo wuy one correspondent stnrts licr query, "but we bnve not announced our engagement, ns we wish to give our friends n genuine surprise. We are going to slip ofC some day soon and get married, but want to send wedding cards. Will you kindly tell me how they should bo worded?" T begin with, do not attempt any thing original or informal. It Is quite ill right to announce an engngement In an original way, but the wedding an nouncement should be entirely formal. In most cases the announcements should be sent out in the name of the bride's parents, or those who stand in the place of a parent In case the bride la un orphan, or an aunt, uncle orl grandparent. If possible, have these announcements engraved und send them out the day of the marriage as noon as It is over. Have nil envelopes addressed and stamped and ready to Bend out directly, All announcements should be sent at exactly tlio same time. Here Is the usual form : Mr. and Mrs. John Drown havo the honor to announce ' tho marriage o( their daughter !' Anno ; tO V Mr. James Smith Jones on Thursday, May tho eighth ' nineteen hundred and twenty-two at St. Thomas' church New York. If It Is a grandparent, Bister or broth er whose name need not be the same an the bride, then In place of the single word Anne, on the fourth line should bit Inserted "Miss Anno Brown." In the unusual event that tho con tracting persons have no near relatives to send these announcements they mny Mad an announcement worded thus : Mr. James Smith Jones and Miss Anno Brown havo tho honor to announce their marriage on Thursday, May tho eighth etc. If you dp not feel that you can af ford engraVcd announcements the best thing to do would bo to write letters on the day of the wedding, to be post ed immediately afterwards, telling your nearest friends of tho event, but THE ROMANCE OF WORDS "JUBILEE" 'TUiOUGn u number of cty mologlsts maintain that this ward Is derived from tho Latin Jubllare, to shout for Joy, Its pedigree really antedates tho birth of the Latin language, going back to tho Ilebrow, where we Und tho word yobel, mean ing literally the blast of u trumpet, und by extension, the yenr of jubilation which wus an nounced by this trumpet. According to the law In Levit icus 25, this was an epoch of general restoration and em mclpatlon, celebrated every tlfty years, when liberty was to bu proclaimed throughout the land with the blowing of trum pet4 In the synagogue. During thli Jubilee year the land wns not tilled, all lands that hr.d beon sold were returned to their original owners or their heirs, ntd all bondsmen of Hebrew blood were liberated. The Christian church adopted the term from the Jewish, and In turn, n number of secular gov ernments took up the idea, tho Jubilees of George III and (Jneen Victoria being two of the most famous In modern history, (Copyright.) And ' I wtoui heT-pruieTVt ot& With Tkolhtnc; bur hs bcvoK. Would -navor tv to "atop e. tvoAr By Itvndirvcj on tho trocr. wording them as you would any other friendly note. It Is a good Idea to send an announcement to the society editor of your local paper also, because the chances arc that the paper will, get news of tho event, and surely you want to do everything In your power to mnko their notice of the event ac curate. There Is no reason why any one who wishes to do so should not have this quiet sort of marriage without a pre viously announced engagement ; how ever, the fact is that society glrla sel dom do, nor do persons who occupy a rather high position socially, unless, of course, there Is parental objection und the event Is in the nature of an elope ment.
