ROOM FOR YOUNGER CRITICS
They Have Place in the World and
aDuty That Is Well Worth
Performing.

The younger critics, says Haywood
Broun, are the lineal descendants Of
that little child in Anderson's fairy
tale who, when the emperor was be-
ing made a spectacle Of and all the
world was being fooled by the sharp
tailor, refused to be quiet and cried
out, HE hasn't got anything on" These
young enthusiasts who have no posi-
lions to lose and no dignities to live
up to go about pointing to all our
literary emperors and calling attention
to the scantiness of their attire Of
greatness, and refuse to be silenced
by their scandallzed or terrified elders.
Good sense bids us welcome their hon
est gaze at even the sacrOsanct per-
sons. 1t can't hurt anything really
fine, and it's about time we came out
of some Of our Illusions. William Al
len White sized it up about right from
the conservative point of view when
he said in praising Main Street.: "Ot
course. I'm on the other side Of the
street myself. but that's just the rea
son why like this book. 1t gives US
fellows something to answer"

ONCE the costumes Of her maids
- must make a picturesque back
ground for the eminence of her own
bridal white, it Is the privilege Of the
bride to choose what they shall be.
And here she may give her fancy
free rein; but the chances are that
the enticing modes of today, drawn
from so many periods. will keep it
from wandering far. If she chooses
current styles this years bride will
live to prove the axiom that thing
Of beauty is a joy forever.
Taking into consideration the per-
sonality Of her maids and all other
circumstances, the bride may elect to
have them dressed in sprightly
organdy or taffeta. in quaint styles,
or her choice may fall upon sheer
wolfe, lace or georgette. In all Of these
there are colors that are adorable.
Two different types in gowns suited
to bridesmaids are pictured above
