Do you know that the grief that

Never q great man or woman

joys and triumphs. And so this
tragedy has but made you one,
my dear, with the great and noble
souls Of this world and Of all
time.
Don't dare to say you'll never
love again. How can you pierce
the veil Of the future and know
what wondrous blessings may
await you?
Don't dare to say you'd rather
play the coward and die. How
can you know cor what nobler

love and joy you are being pre-

and she said, 81 will live down
my grief and be the better for
this lost love-"
She forgot herself, her suffer
ing. hopes and despair, in welfare
work for others. Today, at thirty
three, she is as happy a bride
as can be found the world over.
And she is hunbly grateful that
through what seemed a tragedy,
but was in reality a blessing, she
was prevented from marrying the
wrong man.
My dear, you are going to be a
heroine. not weakling. You are
not going to pity yourself or
brood over your grief another
day. You are going to be glad
that you are strong enough and
fine enough to grow stronger and
finer, as every great soul has

Sooner or later you are sure to

that truth told in time would

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ II the bride wears pale

color for the bridesmaid?
2. Please suggest headdress
to be worn in place Of the veil
for the bridesmaid?
.. Should slippers and stock
ings match the dress, or can
gold or silver cloth be worn, ac.
cording to the color Of dress?
4. Would the PomsPom bou-
quet be proper, or the corsage?
S. At morning wedding
when the groom wears a dark
business suit with a wing col
lar, should a four-in-hand tie or
a bow tie be worn? What color
should the tie be?
M. L. S.
r IGFIT yellow, is lovely with
~ light green-as nature shows
us. Some shades of rose and
salmon and orchid are also good
with green.
2. Either a bandeau or a hat
is appropriate.
8. Either is correct, but the
much desired effect Of unity OF
costume is obtained better If the
stockings and slippers match the
dress in color.
4. Either is correct.
S. A four-in-hand is apt to be
more becoming. I think. Most
men do not look well in a bow
tie worn with a business suit.
Black and dark blue are the best
colors for the tie.
