Cook Studios. d> - ^ News, Views and Gossip By THE EDITOR Tiny Nosebags A friend of ours in his paper last week called attention to a collection of typos which was compiled by a professor in the University of Kentucky school of journalism, who faithfully waded through wedding stories in a number of newspapers to gather the following samples: “The bride was given in mar riage by her father, wearing her mother’s wedding gown. The couple went to high school to gether and their marriage will stop a romance begun there. The bride wore a strand of tiny pears. Her gown was vile green. Her accessories were plain punk. The bridegroom’s mother was at tired in a lace dress which fell to the floor. The maid of horror wore yellow tulle. The brides maids carried tiny nosebags. The flower girl wore a maize gown with puffed sleeves touch ing her ankles. The bride’s moth er wore a dawn blue chiffon and a black stray hat. The nup tials took place in a setting il luminated by lighted Roman candles. The couple exchanged their cows. The bridal couple then passed out and greeted the guests. The ceremony was at • tended by only a few loose friends and relatives.” * m m Learning to Write When your kindergarten child asks you to show him how to print his name, better consult his teacher first so she can show you his name in manuscript writ ing. Manuscript printing is the method now used. Many teachers are obliged to “re-teach” children on printing the child’s name after the child has entered school. Manuscript printing is not actual writing but is similar to printing and is employed in the first books issued to modern kindergartners. Most parents use all capital let ters in a child’s name, such as MARY. This is not what is being done today in schools.
