All About a Wedding
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom:
AS l am contemplating marrying
soon, / will appreciate it if you will
give me some advice through the
columns of the Evening Star For
a 6 o'clock wedding is it permissible
to wear evening dress, i. e, for men?
Also, would it be proper for the
maid of honor and bridesmaids to
carry baskets of flowers on their
arms? We are to have no flower
girls. Does the groom furnish the
gloves for the ushers and best man?
And is it customary to wear flowers
in the buttonholes? AS l am not to
be given away, will you kindly let
me know just how to march in the
church? We are to have four ush-
ers, maid of honor, two bridesmaids
and the best man. viii also be glad
if you will tell me If at the reception
in the house the bride keeps her veil
on all evening, or when does she
take it off? Also, does she bid the
guests adieu when leaving the room
to dress for travelling? I would
like to have wedding cake boxes
with the brides and groom's mi
tails thereon; also the date, if you
think it would not be too much.
Which letter precedes on the box,
the mans or woman's? Do you
think little satin boxes would be
nice? 1t will take up a great deal
of your time replying to this, but
please feel that 1 will thank you
very much. Sincerely, II. N.
p. S.-Please let me know what
you think of the date on the boxes.
ID Men wear evening dress at a
o'clock wedding.
% The maid of honor and brides
maids usually carry arm bouquets,
but there is no reason why they
should not carry baskets of flowers.
if you prefer them, particularly II
there are to be no flower girls. The
innovation would be very effective,
| think. When bridesmaids wear
shepherdess costumes they carry
long-handled baskets.
go The bridegroom does not pay
for the gloves of the ushers and best
man. He is permitted to pay for
nothing but the ring, the fee to the
clergyman, bouquets to bride and
bridesmaids and gifts to the best
man and ushers.
4. The best man and ushers usual
~ wear white boutonnieres. Gar
denias or carnations are appro-
pirate.
5. The ushers lead the wedding
procession, walking two and two;
then come the bridesmaids, two and
two; then the maid of honor alone,
in advance of the bride, who leans
on the arm of her father or nearest
male relative. The bridegroom and
best man are met at the altar
If l were you | would have a
male relative escort me to the al
tar, even if he did not give me
away.
The bridegroom meets the bride at
the chancel or designated place,
receives her from the one who is to
give her away and leads her for
ward to where the clergyman
stands.
g. At the reception the bride re-
mains about an hour with the guests
and then leaves to change her
dress for the wedding journey. The
maid of honor may accompany to
assist her in removing her veil and
offer any other services. She does
not say good-by to the guests, who
will depart informally after greeting
her and wishing her happiness, etc.
T. Why not have the last initials
of your name and the bridegroom's
name entwined in a pretty mono
gram? 1 would like this better than
the plain initials. If you have the

1t was bound to come sooner or
later, and to many of us it offers
welcome relief from the loose fitting
bodices and blouses that meet the
eye on every side.
As shown in 84O2, it closes straight
down the front, has a fitted dart on
either side, a sleeve set in to a
rather long shoulder and a shaped
taffeta, which is such a general IA
vorite just now, is used here The fine
lace collar and the line of cut glass
buttons down the front are the only
trimming. The skirt is a two-piece
model slightly draped at the back and

Decided Color Tendencies

There seems to be two decided ten
denotes in color lines for summer
one, the vivid Oriental shades that
have been seen all winter. the other,
all the delicate tones known as sweet
pea shades, says an exchange.
But for linen dresses ana for suits
the more vivid colors will probably be
used. Tassels and linen-and- leather
ornaments are being made, combining
white and natural linen shades with
Chinese yellows and blues. Green will
be popular, too-in the four new tones
called absnthe, Czarina, emerald and
empire.

We Americans have forgotten how
to have a little fun. We want 1t big
and we want it hard!
A group of tired teachers stood be-
fore a painting at the Metropolitan
Museum, New York city. The ex-
preston on their faces was enVious,
not because they would like to own
the picture. but because their souls
cried out for the spirit which that
picture expressed. 1t showed a group
of Italian peasants dancing down a
hillside, hand in hand, and the
glorious light sweeping over the
fiower-spattered grass was no more
golden than the joy of living which
shone in the abandon of every pose,
the light in every eye, says the Pic
torial Review.
What it must be to have no more
sense of responsibility than these
children of Italy," murmured one of

To Clean Black Silk

Dear Miss Doom:
Will it be possible for you to re-
publish that article that was in
your column about cleaning black
taffeta? A woman told me about it,
but l did not see it, l have some
black silk which is firm and good,
but looks old and dull. Thanking
you, ECONOMICAL.
1 think this is what you mean:
Following is method of cleaning
black silk that has been recon-
mended:
The silk must be thoroughly
brushed and wiped with a clean
cloth, then laid on a table and well
sponged with hot coffee, entirely
freed from sediment by being
strained through muslin.
The work is done on the side in
tended to show, then the silk al
lowed to become partially dry and
ironed on the wrong side.
The coffee removes every particle
of grease and restores the bril-
liancy of the silk without imparting
to it the shiny appearance of papery
stiffness obtained by using any
other liquids.
The silk really appears thickened
by the process, and the good effect
is permanent.

Kid Booties and Soiled Blouse

Dear Miss Doom
Will you kindly tell me how to
clean white kid bottles that are
soiled from wear?
Also, 1 have a white wolfe shirt
waist, which has a vest effect en-
broidered in blue. After washing
it, / let it lie little while, and the
blue ran all over the waist. Will
you please tell me how to remove
these blue stains?
Thanking you in advance,
I'm TROUBLE"
Clean the little bottles with
gasoline, applying with a piece of
clean white flannel and rubbing
well.
Caution-Do not use gasoline in
warm room or near a fire, or even
where there is a lighted gas jet. 1t
is highly inflammable.
I'm afraid you'll have to SAY
Agood-by' to your waist. However,
you might try the following. y
Wet the color stains and rub in
all the dry cream of tartar they
will hold. Then run hot water
through them and lay in the sun.
Repeat until the stains are faint.

Remember This

To mend an ugly gap left by fall
ing plaster take a piece of plain
white cotton material, old or new, dip
it in thin flour paste and place over
the hole. If the rest of the ceiling or
wall is white this mend will scarcely
show. Cracks sometimes appear after
the walls are papered by bursting the
paper. The same treatment can be
carried out, but the cotton should be
papered or painted over.

Regarding a Fern

Dear Miss Doom:
My Boston fern is turning brown
and looks dull and ugly. Please tell
me what to do for it, as L hate to
lose it. 1t is in a big pot, so
know that the roots have enough
room. KITTIE @.
Probably your fern needs fer
tilizing. Place it out-of doors and
water a little when dry, using tepid
water. You can buy commercial
fertilizers, which are almost or
quite odorless. Remember, fer
tilizing is bad.
Well-rotted manure, which has
had boiling water poured over it
and let stand over night, is good.
A tablespoonful of this in two
teacups of water once week is
sufficient.
