The engagements of widows, unless they are very young, ared usually not announced. Second weddings are usually most tentious and formal invitations are not issued. Announcements may be sent, however, either by the parents of a young widow or by the bride and her husband jointly, if they are mature. Here are some letters from widows planning remarriage.

I am wondering if it is proper to specify, on wedding invitations, that it is to be a If so. how is it done? F.A.B., Greenwich, You will see from my introduc-' tion that formal invitations are usually not sent for second mar -1 riages. Certainly, you engrave on an invitation any such information as you would like to impart.

However, you can let it be know through close friends and you" family that you would prefer gifts of money from those close to you. Quite often those friends who have sent gifts for a first marriage do not do so for a second and should not really be expected to do so. Nevertheless, this is greatly a matter of closeness to the bride or groom. -DEAR MISS VANDERBILT: I expect to marry a widower (I am a widow this year. He would like to give me a diamond on my birthday in the spring.

Would this be proper? Would it be in good taste for my mother to announce our engagement in the paper? We are both forty-three. If this Is not correct, how should it be done? We live in a small community where we are well known, and plan a small, quiet wedding in our church. Does this sound proper? May I wear a silk suit or street dress? Niagara Falls, N. Yes. fiance may give you an engagement ring.

As you will see above, such engagements are usually not arwounced. except informally among one friends. The wedding announcement is better, at your age. made jointly by you both. Your suggested costumes are both suitable.
