WEDDING INVITATIONS. Those present at the
ceremony should leave cards for those inviting
them, and if this is not possible, they can
be sent by mail or messenger.

Those invited but not present should send
cards.

WIDOW. See WIDOWS--CARDS.

WIFE. Only the wife of the oldest member of
the oldest branch may use her husband's
name without the initials.

WOMEN. Mrs. or Miss should always be used
before the names. The cards of single
women are smaller than those of married
women.

The husband's name should be used in
full, unless too long, when the initials are
used. Only the wife of the oldest member
of the oldest branch may use her husband's
name without initials.

Reception days should appear in the lower
left-hand corner, limiting dates--as, Until
Lent, or in January, may be either engraved
or written.
