CARD ETIQUETTE.
What and Why the Ceremonies Are
The Philosophy of Call Nuptial
Fashions Weddings from Pa
per to Golden Cards in
' Memoriam.
Old fop:v lachelors who settle themselves com
fortably down each evening to padded dressing
gowns and TnE Telegraph, and sprightly spin
sters of uncertain age, more successful In pre
serving inviolate their birth-year than their
charms, who conscientiously road nothing loss
moral than that heavy book i'Tho Whole Duty
of Man," may frown und twirl their nasal appen
dices as they will, but the younger part of
humanity will have their own way in the mat
ters of amusement nnd society for all that. The
Interjected volleys of "Humbug!'' and "Non
sense '." do not have much effect in changing
the fashions, or their pursuit of them: for they
hare shrewd inklings that in bygone days these
grumblers wire as great worldlings as the worst
of them. They wish to have the chance of see
ing society for themselves first, like Lord Ches
terfield in his younger days; and then, when
gouty or rheumatic In after yours, they can have
the privilege of having a fling at these "sour
grapes," like in this paragraph of his super
annuated lordship:
"All ceremonies are in themselves very silly"
things; but yet a man of the world should know
them. They are the outworks of manners and
decency, which would be too often broken in
upon if it were not for that defense which keeps
the enemy at a proper distance. It is for that
reason that I always treat fools nnd coxcombs
with great ceremony! true good-breeding not
beiug a sufficient barrier Against them.''
Etiquette ofCallM.
Whether it be for quite the reason so bluntly,
given or not, the creme de la creme of society
areunqxiestionably not behind his lordship in
their devotion to ceremony. Take the onerous
task of visiting we beg pardon, of "calls;" the
perfection of the refinement of ceremony can
scarcely go further than now. "Visiting curds,"
' Bays an authority In the fashionable world, "are
b till unglazed; some are delicately tinted. The
English script is still the most recherche. Visit
ing cards, lettered upon the back, arc much
used. The English has superseded the French
words."
The following is a specimen of the reverse
Side of the card:
VHt.
Felicitation.
Condolence.
Adieu.
The corner containing Jhe word denoting the
object of the visit will be turned down, so that
that word will appear on the opposite side con
taining the address. Thus, instead of being com
pelled to bore each other by an Indefinite chit
chat, friends are enabled to express their inten
tions so concisely by card-board that instances
are known where these cordial visitors have
never sceu the objects of their solicitude. As,
however, the practice of acting 'dummy" in
a comfortable equipage, while the footman
serves the etlquetical notice of an extension of
ths personal friendt-hip, becomes irksome in
time, fashion is beginning to simplify this cere
mony. It has decreed that the custom of calling
in person, except in cases of special intimacy, is
not in the best taste; and it is now quite a la
mode to enclose one's card iu a fitting envelope
addressed to the person honored, and to trans
mit it either by messenger or by the two
penny post. The card must go, though it mat
ters but little in what way; else the "cut" will
be most direct, and the resultiug family feuds
will never be healed. So, for the averting of
blighted friendships, it is fortunate there is a
universal law of fashion, as Shakespeare thus
expresses:
"Where doth the world thrust forth a vauit.r,
(So tt be new, there's uo respect how vile,)
That is not quickly buzz'd into the ears." .
Wrdtlln Invitations
As long as the old custom continues of marry
ing and giving-In marriage. "More honored
in the breach than in the observance,"
an inveterate bachelor would quote wedding
invitations must be the most engrosslug
topics of card etiquette, and novelties must
always be in demand. For the coming season
the latest innovation will be the rose pink shade.
The shape of the card remains the same: the
lettering and color are at the beck and bid of
fashion. Plain black 6cript, destitute of all
tawdry ornamentation, and old English lettering,
are the favorites. The monograms are less in
clined to bo puzzling hieroglyphics than hitherto,
and at times are printed In gjjld, silver, or colors.
One great revolution has occurred in the "Re
ception" cards; the words "At Homo" are now
tabooed as unfashionable, and the cumbrous
phrase "request the pleasure of your company"
is substituted. In other respects, latitude is
allowed to the parties interested, and they may
have one or many cards, as they please. A new
form of cards of announcement, which is con
ceived in simplicity and good taste, and which
may be accompasied by note sheet or not, as
desired, is as follows:
Mr. and Mrs. Penrose Smyth,
(Xee Emma Wilson.)
1700 Spring Garden street.
Another unique and effective form, lately
Issued for a family of social distinction in this
city, consists of a note sheet alone, with an in
scription similar to the following:
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Meanest the pleasure cf yonr prexenreat (he

ribbon bow. The first nnd filth lines are engraved "
In old English text, while the rcmalnintwords
arc In unornamcnted scrip. The corresponding en
velope contains the first monogram, and another
white ribbon, or 'lover's knot."
The generality of folks, however, do not seem
to be content with less than three or four card,
probably considering that one's own wedding
days are apt to be like angel's visits, "few and
far between." As " it's an ill wind that blows
nobody any good," engravers and fancy station
ers" seem to take this choice quito contentedly.
Anniversary Wrditlng.
Anniversary weddings appear to be yearly
growing Into more general favor. They may be
mado pleasant festivals, If it only be well under
stood that etiquette and good breeding do not
demand tho acknowledging of nn Invitation to
these weddings by presentation of vulunblo
gifts. Members of the family, or very intimate
friends, are the only persons from whom such
gifts may be received. Invited guests need not
absent themselves from such agreeable enter
tainments because a false conception requires
them to contribute costly pren-nts. For amuse
ment and sociability, trillcs In paper, tin, or
wood may bo offered by casual as well as per
sonal friends on the occasion of the commemo
rated weddings.
The Fnper Wedding.
The first anniversary of the marriage Is hon
ored by but few. Invitations have been issued
on peculiar styles of grey paper, rescniMint;
thin pasteboard. The presents in keeping art
paper, books, portfolios, engravings, etc.
The Wooden Verilln
is the fifth anniversary. The invitations arc
printed on thin cards of wood, about us thick us
four sheet Bristol board.
The Tin Wrddln
is the tenth anniversary. Invitations have been
Issued on tin, ' but the. most artistic style Is
printed in oxydized tin bronze, or iu black, on
large unglazed card or note sheet, with mono
gram in dull silver on invitation and envelope.
A field of tin bronze on the lower half of the
note sheet, with letters in black, produces a
pleasing effect.
The Crystal Wedding
is the fifteenth anniversary. It has not been
frequently celebrated in this . country. Cards
have been printed on crystalized paper, with
envelope to match, ami the monograin has becti
in silver relief.
The I.lnrn Wedding
has been inaugurated for the twentieth anniver
sary, and, should auy bt observed, uu invitation
printed ou linen in gold would be appropriate.
The Silver Uddln
is the twenty-fifth anniversary. It is very
popular, and has been nt times observed with a
repetition of the marriage ceremony. The invi
tations are ou the finest note paper, primed in
silver.
The Kolden Weddln
is tho fiftieth anniversary. The invitations are
on paper, printed in gold. Among the first
celebrated was that of the late Mrs. Vandcrbilt,
and the form then used was as follows:
Staten Island, A". I'.,
1313,
Cornelius Vandrrbilt, fk'phio Johnson,
Mr. and Mrs. C. Vanderbilt.
M Ilome,

Cards iu Memoriam of departed friends have
been in vogue in England for some years, but
have only recently been introduced in this
country. They become a kindly remembrauce
of "one who has gone before." The London
style is as follows:
In remembrance of the lute

Hints.
For the use of our younger readers, we sub
join the initials representing French phrases
used on cards:
K. 8. V. P. Jlepondez s il vous tylais. "The
favor of an answer i requested."
P. if. C I'ovr prendre conge, "lo talie
leave."
Costume de Rigueur "Full dress, In charac
ter." Phlladclphians have no need to look outside
of this city for choice goods In these lines. As
long as such courteous establishments as Dreka's
and Hoskins' arc stocked with fanciful assort
ments of all descriptions, our city will vie with
the first of the continent in this line.

From Our Own Correspondent.
NEW Yohk, Oct. 2tf, HOT.
On the Make.
SSTbat is precisely what some of the ladies who
nuctuute between the Nrosls and Woman's Suf
frage are on. They art- emphatically on the make.
They are penurious enough, as Artemus Ward used
to say, to steal the postage-currency off a dead
negro's eyelids. They will accept pay from their
own fathers and brothers. Thunks to Jennie June
Croly, we are getting enlightened upon this point.
The first sitting of a Woman's Parliament was held
last Sunday evening, and upon that occasion Jennie
June laid bare the buttonless shirt question. Not
that she mentioned buttons, r hiuted in the most
roundabout manner nt marts. But she must
have meant 'em! The pet theory which she elabo
rated la, not only that women ought to be paid the
same wages as men, but that the household dut.es
of a wife should be considered worthy of pecuniary
compensation from a husband, and that the husband
iu fact should pay the wile so much in greenbacks
fcr making his home comfortuble-llke. O sweet,
pure, happy romances, thut cluster all together In
one's dreams of his once future honeymoon, whituer
are ye lied? Will the time ever come when, having
passed out of Uii bachelor and therefore buttonless
condition, I shall count the pearly nodules with
which my shirt-bosom of the marriage statu will be
blossoming, anil think that i puf.i Amanda so much
for ever but torn, say fllty cents a bosom'.' I used to
tldnk that a baby in the cradle, a kitten purring ou
i i.c hearth, and a -lei.r little wife sitting opposite to
me and darning stockists, one of the most com
fi.rtuble of ail slxhH in the woT'.d, because It was one
ot those pleasures that couldn't be bought with
monev. I was ru.htau. Mrs. Croly has set me

AUiskiau tourist liiU n.use alone amcr.g tie ruins of

Father Ilynrlnthe
continues to be bewildered with the minute famili
arity which the newspapers evince with th ; d -tal s
of his dally life. In carrying out his purpose not to
be bored with Interviews, aud to suirer as lltt'.o hs
possible from publicity, he him not escapa 1 the
charge of aitectutiou. l!ut Iu truth he is not atrectcd.
He has that sterling beauty of true modestya nor.
ror of notoriety. All his movements are made under
a veil. When he visited Mr. Keechcr's churc'i on
Kunday morning, not hulf-a-dozen people, including
the pastor, were aware thut he wus to be rrjscnt
until after he had taken his scat. That his first
public reltgious courtesies should have been paid In
Plymouth Church has excited among Mr. Beecher'it
Protestant brethren (who do n-t write for the New
York Lflgrr) that gentle envy and soft.-vorded
backbiting which are so consistent with thcsiirlt de
scribed as "rather in sorrow than in aiiKcr." The
sorrow, by-the-by, wherewith those brethren speak
of Mr. ncecher, lias just enough nnilignitv in itkto
render it impossible ror one to distinguish H fro n
the genuine anger.
Ilr. nnd Mr. Rndfbrri.
II is related that n person or the name of loid ford
was once eaM to a wealthy Frenchman residing in
Tarts; that being naturally "piert" In- picked up one
or two languages in addition to his own, which whs
Kngllsh, wilh remarkable quickness; that by dint or
that pertinacity to which modems have given the
name of cheek, he opened for hiniseir, out of his
lowly position, a career similar to that which J.sdy
Constance Tref usls, in Miss De la Kama's novel or
'Held In lionduite," wrought out torlu-rsi-ir previous
to marrying with Granville de Vignc; that amon?
other things he picked up was the title of Lord Ains
ley, with which lie came to this countrv; that with
this title at tils bnck and his portmanteau in his
hand, he succeeded in winning the heart of Miss Mar
tin, of Maten Island : and that although hisperlidv
was d.sc ovc red previous to the ceremouv, his iianr-ec
clung to him to the last, aud dctled her family and
friends when they finally discarded her; and th.it
Lord Ainsley aud Ills bride, alia Mr. aud Mrs.
lllcliard Itadford. are at this moment in I'lilladelphia,
accepting hospitality at the hands or broudbrini ol
the purest blood and jthc starchiest linen. That lit
tie bird which is forever whispering something iu
gossipers' ears, might, I think, be characterized as
the mocking-bird, for its twitterings are one long
mockery at broken hearts, broken fortunes, broken
reputations. Mr. Ainsley, or Lord Itadford titles
arr confusing has hitherto kept silent in regard to
the charges brought against him, with the excep
tion of a brief intimation, in a note or out- of his
friends to a newspaper, that the scandal rather
amused, but wasfar from annoying him. Ktit at
least he has paid his bills promptly, and lias behaved
so prince-like in the way of hospiiallty, that perhaps
society will, after a time, forgive the vtnil Claudc
Melnottism. Chinese nt Church.
In viewer the anticipated importation or coolies
for domestic service, and the conscimeut dethrone
ment of ''biddy'- from the station she has held so
long, it is pleasant to learn that the Chinese resi
dents of New Vork are thinking and talking u great
leal about erecting a Joss House, for the expres
sion of religious ideas. Many of these Chinamen
have married l'rotestunt or catholic women, and are
being influenced by them in their religious feelings.
More than one or them has stood up to lie prayed for
in Iuiton street praver-meeting, and one of the
callers upon l'erc Hyacinthe was of Celestial origin.
They have never yet had a .loss House In this coun
try, and it is now being 'alked or amongst tueiu with
a seriousness which leads something to be expee'ed
of them. am It aha.
