Paid $500
To obtain powders like these
By Edna Wallace Hopper

1 long paid $500 per box for my
face powder. So do most beauties
in the movies and on the stage.
We have them made to order, BY
the greatest of experts, and no
price is too high to pay.
/ have for 40 years consulted the
leading powder experts. I have
obtained their best, regardless OF
the cost. So many of my friends
have for decades ordered their
powders through me.
When 1 offered my beauty helps
to women, they overwhelmed me
with requests for powder. They
wanted to use what I use. But I
could not offer them this powder
at the price I paid.
So went to the makers. I told
them / could sell a million boxesat
ordinary prices. They finally agreed
to supply Tiny identical powders
under my name.
Now you can obtain 1t. Every
druggist and toilet counter has it.
1t comes in two types. One is
heavy, clinging, cold cream powder.
That is the type / like best. But
the other is light and fluffy. The
heavy powder in square box costs
$500, the light in round box 5Oc.i
You will find these supreme crea-
tons. No powders you have used
can compare. Any face powder
branded Edna Wallace Hopper is
an exquisite product.

you samples. Learn what fine face
powder means. e

Flowers for the Bridal Party
nEAR MISS BEECKMAN:

FLOWERS for the Bridal Party
nEAR MISS BEECKMAN:
- Will you kindly settle a
difference in opinion as who
should provide the flowers for
the bridal party? A contends
that the bride receives her
bouquet from the bridegroom.
while the maid Of honor and
bridesmaids bouquets are sup
piled by the bride or her family.
B says the bridegroom supplies
the bride. while each usher
gives his bridesmaid her flow !,
ers. G says the bridegroom
supplies the flowers for the en-
tire bridal party. Which Of
these is right? d. D. III.
NSWER: A and C are both
"A right. That is, the bridal
bouquet is, always sent by the
groom. The bridesmaids bou.
quets are. sent either by the
groom or by the bride or her
family. Formerly the groom
always sent the bouquets to the
attendants OF his bride, and I
think that 1t was and is an es-
pecially charming gesture for him
to show to the girls who are at
tending his bride.e Now the
groom talks 1t over with the bride
and they decide which Is to send
them. If the bride wishes to
have some special color scheme
carried out in the costumes of
her bridesmaids (and she usually
does), 1t is easier for her to send
the bouquets that will add the
necessary touch to the harmony
Of the costume. or to carry out
the color scheme Of the decora-
tons Of the church or home.
The plan suggested by B is not
correct. and is never in good taste.
All such customs have their origin
in reasonableness, and it is not
reasonable that the ushers should
be given a responsibility or an
honor Whichever way you wish
to look at IT., at wedding that is
not theirs.
Nowadays the ushers walk to.
gether, two by two, in the process
sional and in the occasional, and
the bridesmaids also walk together.
There should be no matching
up. so that an ushers will walk
with "hfs" bridesmaid. And I
think that this is most sensible,
for with all these pairs" the we'd
ding professional or occasional
takes away the emphasis from the
fact that the bride and groom are
the only pair in the occasion.
To have the maid of honor walk
with the best man gives an impres-
sion Of double wedding, and to
have the bridesmaids walk with
the ushers gives the impression of
a modern procession to the Ark!
