CRESTS. If men and women wish, these may be stamped in the latest fashionable colors on their stationery. It is not customary to use a crest and a stamped address on the same paper.

flap of the envelope.
If sealing-wax is used, some dull color
should be chosen.
A person should avoid all individual eccentricities and oddities in stamping, such as facsimile autographs, etc.

This anniversary comes after fifteen years of married life, and the invitations may bear the words: No presents received, and on their acceptance or declination, congratulations may be extended. An entertainment should be provided for. Any article of crystal or glass is appropriate as a gift.
