DEAR MRS. BEECKNIAN:
~ When there are six brides
maids, is it necessary for them to
dress alike?
2. Should the groom purchase
all the bouquets to accommodate
bride and bridesmaids, or should
each usher purchase one for MS
partner?
3. Should the bride have any
thing whatever to say about Der
own bouquet? &. u,
1T IS customary for the dresses
L Of the bridesmaids to be Of
the same design, and it IS usual
too for them to be of the same
shade. | think that this Is much
more effective than to have them
different, for 1t contributes to the
harmony Of the picture as
whole. However, in rainbow
weddings. the designs Of the dresses
are different.
=. The groom always sends the
bouquet TO his bride. Usually the
bouquets of the brides attendants
are sent by the family of the
bride or the bride herself, since
they are planned to "gO with
the costumes and the decorations
of the church. However, often the
groom sends them, if he asks for
this privilege. 1t is exceedingly
bad form for the attendants OF
the groom, either the best man or
the ushers, to be expected 10 send
these bouquets. There is no reil-
son why this should be done, since
the attendants should not be given
this sort of responsibility.

correct and reasonable that the
bride and groom talk over what
kind Of flowers she prefers. 1t is
more important that the bride be

SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
by Helen Rowland

10y 44CACM ASV" A0AaU
Young Man Afraid of the Women
MY Daughter, be not deceived
VAby false signs; for men are
full Of words, and their words are
full of boasting.
But, in his heart, every man
dwelleth all his days in the fear
OF women! Verify, verify, there
is not one among them, that is
not afraid of SOME woman!
The small boy trembleth lest
a woman may kiss him-and the
callow youth trembleth lest a
woman may expect him to kiss
HER.
The bachelor feareth that every
damsel may seek to entice him
into matrfmony-and the married
man suspecteth that every
woman may seek to entice him
OUT Of it.
Every man Teeth in alright
from a clever woman, lest she
bait him-and tleeth in alarm
from a stupid woman, lest she
bore him.
One moment he Is filled with
apprehension lest a woman may
take him seriouSly-and the next,
he is filled with perturbation lest
she take him as a JOKE.
He is afraid to make love to
a damsel in the beginning-and
afraid to STOP making love to
her in the end.
He feareth that one woman will
fall in love with him-and is cast
down lest another woman may
not return his love.
He Is filled with dread that
one woman may see through him
and filled with anxiety lest an
other woman may not under
stand" him.
Intelligence and wit in the
mouth of a woman alright him
as the matches in the hand of
a babe; but innocence and frank
ness in her eyes appal his spirit
and paralyze his tongue.
All the days of his bachelor
hood, he dwelleth in the fear of
many wonderland all the days
os his married life he dwelleth
In the fear of ONE woman.
He feareth that one woman will
seek to rule him-and that an
other will seek 70 cling to him.
That one woman will try to
reform him-and that another
will try to mother" him.
That one woman will fool him
and that another will GET him!
And, there Is no peace and no
faith, and no security IN him!

changing, but I think it will be
many years before love and
friendship will disappear, so that
when one is laid to rest there
will be no one to come and pay
their last respect to the one who
has gone.
FROM A GRANDMOTHER.
you CANNOT GET AWAY
FROM LIFE" That is true. But
public funerals are not life. They
are a hangover Of savagery. Thew
are no more life than tatooing our
flesh or branding our brides is
life. We all must die. We all
should be taught to face death
and bear ourselves philosophically
in the face of death. BUT
THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR
COMPLICATING THE NEWT
ABLE AGONY OF PARTING BY
ELAB RATE RITES AND
II f A r T REND1NG GXHIBI-
TIONS.
We show no respect for the
dead" by clustering around a
grave into which a corpse is being
lowered. The very idea of our
being able to "pay respect" by
as the ancient burial Of food or
sacrifice of widows at the bier.
The pitiful, but undeniable, truth
about that dead body is that it
is refuse and should be disposed
of as decently and quietly as
possible. For those whose re-
ligiOn permits cremation, there
is no cleaner nor more decent
form of disposal.
The sentimentality that advo-
Gates the attendance of women
and children at funerals is quite
as unhealthy as the sentimentality
which padded this woman's life
until she was left a weakIing. 1t
is all of a piece with it's RE-
FUSAL TO FACE THE TRUTH.
The truth Is that a dead human
body Is waste and that neither
love nor character nor God nor
humanity are served by conduct
ing ceremonies over it.
1t takes far more will-power
and civilization and Christianity
to cover that dear face and go
out to life and duty without one
backward look, than to spend
days in grieving and elaborate
ritual.
And this applies to men as we'll
as TO women. IF WE WE'RE
TRULY CIVILIZED WE WOULD
