garments worn by the bride and her
maids have been more beautiful than
those of other days, or that they have
been developed in any new and strik-
ing ways. But that the difference of
opinion, as to what constitutes proper
gowning for a ceremony, in which the
bridegroom is in khaki or navy blue,
has made the study of spring nuptials
a never-ending source of curiosity to
the student of clothes. Some brides
have chung to the white satin and
tulle; many, indeed, have felt that any
adjunct of gowning which could add
to the special character of the cere-
mony, should be preserved at all costs.
At some of the weddings most eagerly
chronicled in the society news, the
brides have dragged yards of silver
tissue, real lace, and tulle behind
them, in defiance of the spurs of the
soldier groom.
At others, a totally different scheme
of gowning has prevailed. Sometimes
the actual ceremony has been ar
ranged for on such short notice, that
the bride has literally had to be mar
ried in what she had on at the mo-
ment of receiving a belated telegram.
announcing the arrival Of the groom,
with but three hours to spare! Tho
this condition is fortunately unusual,
a time limit has been set in very many
cases to the brides preparation for the
great event. Many of them have felt
that a gown of different character
was more appropriate companion for
khaki; and so we have seen many
gray or navy-bIue brides, with maids
of-honor in sombre blue, or even in
black-very cheerful black, it is true,
touched with white or with the
tender colors of natural flowers, but
still undeniably black.
When the bride is in white, the
bridesmaid may make a gala occasion

bridesmaid in mind, of mauve taffeta,

how sweet she might look at coun
try wedding, in which the bride ap-
proaches an altar of flowers set on
the green sward, under a tree, and the
maids carry their parasols open over
their heads, instead of bouquets in
their hands.
Notice that the maid in the sketch
has found an original way to overcome
the difficulty of the short sleeves in
the daytime. which Paris tried to
force upon us early in the spring. She

sisted upon sleeves in them, others
compromised by wearing long gloves,
still others adopted the graceful scarf.
No one appeared on the street with
bare arms as the introducers of this
awkward idea seemed to expect. Pos
sibly as the days grow more torrid,
we may see very short-sleeved frocks
in the country, but even here, perils
of sunburn will probably restrain most
women from adopting a fashion which
has nothing but novelty to recon-
mend it.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro- Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force,

Judging from the countless prepara-
lions and treatments which are continu-
ally being advertised for. the purpose of
making thin people fleshy, developing
arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly
hollows and angles by the soft curved lines
of health and beauty, there are evidently
thousands of den and women who keenly
feel their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency SO well as
the organic phosphate known among
druggists as bitro- phosphate which is in
expensive and is sold by most all drug
gists under a guarantee of satisfaction or
money back. By feeding the nerves
directly and by supplying the body cells
with the necessary phosphoric food ele
ments, bitro-phosphate quickly produces
a welcome transformation in the appear
ance; the increase in weight frequently
being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries with
it a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: Although bitro-phosphate is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness.

growing properties, be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh.-Adv.

END BIC MEETING
EpwOrth League Convention
Closes at Noon Today.
Bishop Shepard Speaker at This
Mornings Conference.

The church is responsible for the
un-American conditions in the east
side of New York. These conditions
produced and fostered Trotzky. Trot-
ky betrayed Russia into the hands
of her enemies and sold away the
lives of thousands of American and
allied soldiers on the western front.
Therefore, the church is directly re-
sponsible for the Bolsheviki move
ment and the detection of the white
empire. This was the line of rea-
soning used by Bishop w. F. Oldham
in his speech at the Methodist con-
ference here.
The conference closed this noon.
On the morning program Bishop w.
o. Shepard was the principal speaker.
He outlined the plans the church has
made for the coming year and re-
peated striking parts of the history
of the church in the past as sort
of urge for the folk to do little bet
ter and spend a little more effort
next year.
Discuss Attendance
The rest of the morning conference
was given over to discussions of var
ious phases of the church work. A
number of speakers, all officers in a
Methodist church, outlined their most
successful plans for increasing at
tendance at the regular church meet
ings, and discussed the policies of the
church.

ing of certain meats and fats, and that
we must use fresh and perishable
fruits and vegetables wherever posi-
BILE in place of things that will keep to
better advantage. After all, the things
we put in salad are not the things
we have to conserve to any great ex-
tent.
AS a suggestion to the housewife
who finds it almost as necessary to cut
down her own labor as her expenses
in this matter of planning meals the
suggestion comes to double up" for
summer dinners and serve a course
following the main course that will do
for both salad and dessert. Lettuce
and other greens are plentiful and de-
cidedly wholesome. The fruit salad,
therefore, is an ideal choice for this
course. If with it are served coffee
and non-wheat waters there is ample
nourishment contained in the course
to make up for the one omitted.
Fresh lettuce leaves topped with
rings of canned pineapple. in the CEN
ter of each of which is placed a ball
of cream or cottage cheese, make a
good combination of this sort. 1t may
be served with mayonnaise, but a
more easily prepared dressing Is made
of oil, a little vinegar and pineapple
juice with salt and pepper. Dates

dressing on lettuce leaves. Bananas
peeled and rolled in finely chopped nut
meats served with French dressing
form such combination. Apples and
celery mixed with mayonnaise, known
as Waldorf salad, finds many admir-
ers, but it is not economical until ap-
pies are plentiful. Various salads may
be devised, making use of hard grapes,
orange or grapefruit meats, pears and
other fresh fruits that ma rita ke of hot h
salad and dessert course. And the
clever cook can make use of some of
| the canned fruits in her Iarder in
| much the same way.

A Combination Course.

Shortly after we Americans got into

didn't became a self-designed lecturer
or adviser on the subject of food
economy a very well intentioned and
prominent clergyman solemnly as
sured his congregation from the pull
pit that three courses were enough
and that they should therefore give up
salad! Apparently he liked soup or
he might have bethought himself of
giving up this course and leaving in
the salad, which in warm weather at
least is more essential to the we'll
balanced diet than soup usually is.
Immediately a goodly number of we'll
TODD folk gave up salad and perhaps
some slight amount of valuable food
conservation was brought about in
that way.
Now. of course, we have a very
much moe definite basis for food con-
servation than we had then. We know
that We must go the limit in wheat

times gone by, there were few, even

goers, who had participated actively in
a military wedding. with its attendant
ceremonies that add a touch of the
picturesque romanticism of former

swords experiences a thrill which even

thrilling as these undoubtedly are

Military weddings have been as
common as blackberries this spring,
and to the reporter of fashion, the
clothes worn at them have been even
more interesting than the crossed
sabres themselves. 1t is not that the
