NEXT week will be June. the month

Jeannettc was married in April. but
her bridesmaids and her maid Of honor
still remember all about that wedding.
For Jeannette had the idea that. being

decide just what her attendants should
wear and how. She decided upon the
color as every bride does. She de-

humbly that perhaps such short skirts
wouldn't look well on the tall girls,
the bride hushed her quickly. II like

EVERYTHING went smoothly until
IL Alma suddenly decided that black
tullc sash would he the only way to re-
deem hcr costume. "It's too pale. y
she declared. ''It needs toning down in
color" 1t just happened that tuiie
sash changed the whole idea of that
dress. and nobody else liked IL at all.
The other bridesmaids managed to tax
Alma out of that desire, and then she
started on the sleeves. :,
"Thpy oughtn't to he so long, she
objected, "or else they ought to be
fuller" This was changed for Alma,
and then she made another protest. She
went on going against the wishes OF the
bride and the other bridesmaids until
they were all sorry that they had ever
thought Of having wedding. The
bride was ready't to elope TO escape all the
discussions.
