The Brides Parents

Dear Mrs. Adams.
l. Is it proper for the parents of the
= bride and groom not to stand up beside
them when receiving congratulations?
2 When Is the proper time for the bride
and her maid to remove their hats and
gloves?
s. what would you suggest as a gift
for the bride to give her maid?
: l. Do you consider six Of every piece
OF underwear sufficient for a bride?
5. When q couple Is married at tho
priests house. does the reception usually
follow the ceremony? A BRIDE-TO-BE
1. The brides parents, being host and
hostess of the occasion. should remain
in the receiving line. The father. how
ever, need not stand more than half an
hour, when he may devote himself to
the other guests.
2. The bride only removes her glove
when the wedding ring Is to be placed
on her finger. She wears her hat
throughout the ceremony and reception,
and removes it when she dons her
travelling costume. The bridesmaids re-
tain theirshat and gloves.
8. An inexpensive piece of Jewelry,
gloves and a fan are suggestions for
suitable gift.

of words or misunderstanding when
a few minutes will weld the links
together? Do you not think that the
void created by the passing out Of
your life of dear one is far greater
than the hurt of taking the first step
toward reconciliation? Some one must
start, you know. Why not you?
Then there are the endless little things
that might be done for the dear ones
at home-and for some inexplicable rea-
son you allow to be forgotten. The re-
lief for the tired parents, the sympathy
for the children and the loving kind

Now Is the time for showing your
goodness. Tomorrow might not exist
for some of US. The present moment in
our lives is the important one. The
past is gone. but the present Is here
with its golden opportunity. Are you
willing to throw it away?
So let me urge you to soften your
hasty words by the sincere apology. Let
me exhort you to meet halfway the one
who is waiting to come back to you,
and please, o please, live as II today
