Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 13, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 January 1914 — Birthday Announcements. [ARTICLE]

Birthday Announcements.

The etiquette of birth announcements is definite. The folded sheet of pale pink bordered note paper announcing the arrival, the date, the weight, and the name of the parents, is sent out within twenty-four hours after the birth to every immediate relative and to all Intimate friends on both sides of the family.—The sheet of paper exactly fits into a two by two-and-a-half-inch envelope, also narrowly color-bordered, and, If the child Is a boy, bearing on its flap the full coat-of-arms of Its father’s family. A girl’s announcement cannot carry a crest, bnt may have the parents’ Initials intertwined.
