Advice About Wedding

To the Editor Of Womdn's Page:
Dear Madam-Will you kindly help
me about home wedding which | am
planning? / will have a bridesmaid
and would like to know if she should
wear hat. Also, should | (the bride) +,
wear gloves? My father is to give me
away. How should we approach the
corner where the ceremony will take
place? Should I bear the left or
right arm of my father? Where should
the bridegroom and best man be when
we come down the stairs? NJ. c. s.
A bridesmaid usually wears hat even
at a home wedding, but she might wear
just q short, little tule veil attached
Mt the side of her head instead of over
her head as yours will be.
The bride does not have to wear
gloves, but it seems nicer, is more usual
and makes the costume more complete
if she does. You and your father should
enter the room where the ceremony is
to be performed together, and you
should have your right hand on your
fathers left arm. The best man and
the bridegroom should enter the room
some time ahead of you, for instance,
when you are at the top of the stairs.
they should face the door where you
will enter and wait there with the
clergyman for you. The bridesmaid
should walk ahead of you and your
father and stand at one side. Then you
and your father follow her in, stand
facing the minister, and you know al
the rest. / hope this will help you.

The WOndn'S
Exchange
Halloween Costume

To the Editor Of Womdns Page:
Dear Madam-Could you suggest
some kind of costume to wear to a
Halloween party given by the young
people of the church for a girl about
twenty four years of age?
Are there books Of any kind from
which l could get au idea and pattern
for something nice? do not want any
thing on the comic order, as | may
wear it to several parties.
If there is such thing, where could
it be had? If not, | would appreci
ate it very much if you could help me
with q suggestion.
PERPLEXED.
You can find books at the public
library that will help you find pretty
costume. Also style books on exhibi
ton at the pattern departments of the
large stores always pave several cos
tune patterns and you might see some
thing that would suit you. The Martha
Washington costume would be pretty,
or Priscilla the Egyptian Maid, the
Pirate Girl, Carmen or the Colonial
Dame.

doubt, would like to be considered in
the sublime class.
Marry for money, what? Nobody was
ever born with n $40 goldpiece in his or
her hands.
Poverty is very hard to buck against,
but unscrupuous riches are yet harder
to enjoy. How can any girl be so
narrow minded as to marry for money?
Marriage is no business transaction.
1t is n pure paradise to those who can
only love one another. How many girls
try to plan and picture their future to
their best advantage Many, but not
enough. The girls of today--oh boy |!
Show them more money than the other
fellow has and they fall. Yes, it's a
great life if you don't weaken.
Girls. please remember the desire of
a persons heart is worth more than the
worlds gold. Many of the girls Of to-
day are out husband hunting, and as
soon as they strike man with lot of
mazuma they make "A home run and win
the game. What care they for after

him, that's enough. The new face: new
fancy dolls are about the easiest to get
and the easiest to get rid Of. But the
slow and sure baby is the one to tackle
and when you have her, boys, look after
her as she is rare.
How many slow but sure girls read
this column daily. True love is exhibited
in the case of Carol Arron, Prince of
Rumana. Carel of Rumania gave
up his right to the throne rather than
divorce his wife who came from re-
spectacle and socially prominent people,
but not of royalty. Queen Marie of
Rumania on her knees begged her son
Carol to divorce bis wife and marry into
royalty so he can ascend the throne
after the death of his father, Ferdi-
nand, King of Rumania His answer
was. Mother, / would do anything in
the world for you, except that How
many girls can act like the Crown
Prince of Rumania? Speak up--don
be bashful girls, be careful. X. A.

Surprise Birthday Party

To tho Editor Of Womdns Page:
Dear Madam--1n reference to a
party. A crowd of young folks are going
to give a party the night before one of
the girls birthday. We told her it would
be birthday party for her. Now since
she knows it / would like to have some
surprise about it.
I thought a handkerchief shower
would be very nice and would only be
an inexpensive gift for each one to
give. Would you mind telling me how
we can arrange the shower? | mean
how we can present the gifts to her at
the party? II. Nj. G.
Keep the surprise until you go into
the dining room for refreshments. Then
seat her. as the guest of honor, at the
head of the. table and see that she sits
right near a window or door where
there is curtain. Before the party
fasten the curtain up like a canopy by
tying a string from it to the chandelier.
Place all the handkerchiefs in it, with
the cards of the girls attached to them.
As soon as the birthday girl is com =
fortably fixed and everybody is in the
room, cut the string or give the cur
tain a poke. so that the handkerchiefs
fall out and shower upon her. BE sure
that she does not notice the arrange
ment of the curtain when she comes
into the room. If she does, tell her
that it is a canopy to keep the sun
off the queen of the party.

CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF
AS A HOSTESS SEES YOU?
Here's Bit of Verse and Some Dissertations OF Real oman
That Haze Helped Others

because she is natural and therefore
subject to all the sincere feelings of any
real person. For instance, she knows
1t is more fun to go on twenty mile
trip down the river than it is to go
around the corner for box of matches.
She knows her hostess knows the same
thing. So why any pretense about it?
My ideal guest says, Let me run down
to the grocer's for the matches while
you give Jimmie his bath. and then
well have that much out of the way
Then, when my ideal guest does wax
enthusiastic about the trip down the
river or any other entertainment I have
hoped she would enjoy, | really believe
she means what she says. For I have
learned she has that fine, comfortable
habit of being herself

the feeling that an evening at home for

T CAME across a little poem the other
1 day that ran in this strain
When offered Mkeparm tea she drank it,
And did not craze an entra blanket
Nor crtra pillops for her head;
she seemed TO like the spare room bed.
Nor once bv look or pord Of blame
Exposed her host to open shame.
she left no little things behind
Excepting grateful thoughts and kind.
Perhaps you have guessed by this
time the knowing poet, Rose Henniker
IIeaton: is describing 1.-THE Perfect
Guest"
At heart all guests are perfect. What
I mean to say is that no guest is pur
posely imperfect. We all go visiting
with the kindliest of intentions. The
trouble is most of us never have the
chance to see ourselves as the hostess
sees us. ] remember, however, of
spending some time in the company of II
rather whimsical woman who did in an
unguarded moment make some conf :
dences that have always stuck in my
mind.
WTNHERE are three kinds of visitors, p"
l. she confided, ''the one who never
seems quite fully satisfied at anything
suggested in the way of entertainment
and the one who jumps down your
throat and thinks it will be perfectly
lovely whether it be trip around
the corner to buy box of matches or
twenty mile trip down the river. Her
enthusiasm is so we'll trained that it
automatically rises. with the same dc
gree of fervor, to any occasion. The
third kind of guest is the right kind
There are no particular rules for her

to go out somewhere afterward. Your
evening dress need not be elaborate. iust
simply made frock with low neck
and long or shart sleeves. as you pre-
ier. "A dark color is better than a
light one, and you should have a black
velvet or lace hat to wear with it.
Dark blue serge would be tbo host
color and material for the suit, as that
IS always in good style and is suitable
for every day or for drcssy occasions.
l should think it would be becoming to
you, too. You know best what shaped
hat is most becoming to you. but nv
suggestion would be the kind with a soft
crown and the brim that turns up all
around, as that is youthful but not too
childish and is worn n great deal this
year. 1t should be worn forward over
the forehead. 7 hope you will have a
very pleasant visit in New York and
that these suggestions will make YOU
feel more comfortable about your clothes.
