'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,

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. (Copyright.)

WOODDY'S BATTLE
T ITTLE WOODDY CHUCK found
himself one day all nlono in the
big world, for his mother hud put him,
with Ids brothers and sisters, out of
their home, and told them they must
look out for themselves.
Mrs. Woodchuck is not n very lov
ing mother not at all like Mrs. Fox,
who tnkes the greatest care of her
children, or Mrs. Possum, who often
1b bringing up two families ut the
same time.
And so it happened that Httlo Wood-
dy Chuck found himself looking for a
homo one day when to was quite
young.
Lie was not at all afraid, because he
had nover seen a dog or a gun; so ho
hunted around and found a place to
innko anew home. Now, wood
clinches are not very hard working unl
muls; so, when Woody had finished
his home ho went iDsldo and stayed
until tho next day, when tho sun was
nice and warm, for woodchuclts are
very fond of sunning themselves.
For n long tlmo Wooddy Chuck
thought the world was a very nlco
place. The garden wns near, and of
courso ho thought all tho vegetables
were grown for his use; so ho nto all
ho wanted.
But one day ho had a rude awaken
ing, for Mr. Dog saw him, and after
1dm hq rnn: but as Wooddy is a good
runner, ho easily reached his home
ahead of Mr. Dog and turned around
yrcppmfhbhi, fye tan or rome.
In the doorway to enuckle uuurlly at
poor Mr. Dog. Hut Mr. Dog went
right up to the door and began to dig,
and pretty soon Wooddy knew that he
wotdd have to move, or tho chuckling
would bo none by Mr. Dog this time.
So Wooddy Chuck began to burrow,
tilling up the hole as he went nnd
keeping abend of Mr. Dog, who kept
right on digging, for ho know Wooddy
must ue tn there somewhere.

he ran for home, stopping every now

about nnd chuckled again. "I thought
Mr. Dog was going to laugh this time."

VIVIAN
fpHE charming name of Vivian Is al
mnf- Mii nnnl vnlonf- rtf ihn niHnrv.
tlvo "vivacious." It meuns lively, hav
ing been derived from tho Latin vita
signifying life, t.nd was used by the
Itomnn Christians to express their
hopes of eternity.
The tlrst feminine nnme formed
from vita is Vlvln, a nnme mndo fa
mous by Vlvln Pcrpetuu, the noble
young matron of Carthage, whoso
murtyrdom Is one of the most touch
ing histories of tho early church. Her
many votaresses gavo vogue to her
nnme.
In Inter Roman days Vlvlana enmo
td bo popular through a Christian
maiden of that name who wns put to
death by a Roman governor on tho
charge that she had destroyed tho
sight of one of his eyes' by magic,
Much later a church was erected over
her remulns. Her fame and nnme Iln-
gored, and appears prominently again
In "Morte d'Arthur" when Vlvlanna Is
tho enchantress of . King Arthur's
court.
Scotland took vcr tho name of
Vivian, applying it ns both a mnscu
line and feminine nnme. Franco adopt
ed tho masculine form ns Vivien and
straightway formed tho now-popular
feminine Vtvlenne. England has nl
wnyB favored Vivian nnd America re
ceived and popularized the nnmo un
der that spelling. Vlvlana Is the fa
vorcd form In Spain and Italy, the lat
ter country still employing the early
Roman Vlvln.
Vivian's tnllsmanlc gem Is tho life-
giving ruby. Its inextinguishable tliune
promises her dnuntless courage, bodily
health nnd strength, nnd dispels ovll
spirits. To dream of It signifies unex
pected guests. Friday Is her lucky day
nnd throe her lucky nnmbor. Tho Illy,
signifying purity, Is her flower.
