school board who ae putting so much worlf into their job of building an auxiliary public school soon after their election in december thfe board started planning for the newschool and their first job was to sell the necessity of action first to the town council and then to the ratepayers who showed their faith in the judgment of the board by a decisive affirmative vote with the first hurdle crossed the school board would have been justified in taking the next one easrer by hiring any of a dozen or more reputable architects to go ahead with plans but instead of this they went to the added trouble of visiting half a dozen new schools some of them twice within a radius of fifty miles of town choosing the ideas which seemed beat suited to a school here then hiring the firm which they believed could best give them a perfect georgetown school the same care is being used ih selecting a building site where others might choose a site on snap judg ment the school board is at present looking at every available property sizing up its advantages and disad vantages with a determination to place the school in the most advantageous location possible residents of present and future ears

reply why the french is used is not known b the writer thpugh it might go back to the days when the intermingling of french nobility in eng land led to the wholesale adoption of french phrases many of which were permanently absorbed into the english language wedding invitations seem to follow a set standard for instance an invitation to a church wedding usually goes mr and mrs john doe request the honour of your presence while at a house wedding they request the pleasure of your company it has never been cus tomary to include the names of the grooms parents on an invitation though lately this is becoming a more common practice particularly when the groom lives in another town and is not so well known in the district standard custom for weddings is to enclose the invitation in a plain white envelope which has no gum on the flap then to place this envelope in a slightly large envelope which is sealed and addressed for mail ing here again the reason is unknown to the writer it does seem to give an extra touch of formality to the announcement on one occasion a few years back we can remember a young bridetobe complaining that tome of the envelopes we had supplied with her orcjer had no gum on them and she hadnt noticed it until they were all addressed we didnt have the nerve to tell her at the time what she had done so apologized for the mistake and broke another box of envelopes tb make up for the spoiled ones often there- are enquiries about how to answer an invitation received wedding etiquette says that one should answer in handwriting repeating the exact wording of the invitation mr and mrs john smith will be happy to be present at the wedding etc this custom is falling mpraand more info disuse and we should say that t is quite acceptable to simply write and say that you are coming it is best to vrite for it 7s a busy time for bridetobe and mother and jt is eas ier to plan the wedding- meal if all acceptances are in writing and can be sorted out beforehand
