THEY KNOW THAT BLAIR
CAN'T STAND BLAME.
Like all mortals, Blair makes
mistakes. His very impulsiveness

ones always asking him for

Blair explodes. He doesn't stop to

~ Would you kindly let me
know whether it is proper at an
evening wedding for the maid Of
honor to wear white, since the
bride is wearing white also?
What color should the maid Of
honor wear?
CONSTANT READER.
the maid of honor should not
wear white. IL the bride wishes
to have her. But usually the
bride wishes 10 reserve the white
for herself, since from time i'm
memorial white is the brides
color" 1t is customary for the
maid of honor to wear a dress of
a pastel shade. and this year the
chiffons in the pastel shades are
so especially lovely that / should
think that the bride would choose
to hay her maid OF honor wear
one. When the brides attendant
or attendants wear light shades
they make charmingly colorful
background for the white of the
bride.
The bride decides what color
the maid Of honor is to wear,
just as she chooses the mode of
dress that she wishes her to
wear And thoughtful brides, of
course. choose shade that is
becoming to the maid of honor
although / must admit that l
have known altogether too many
brides who consult their own
taste in colors, the color that is
becoming to land with them or
with the decorations that they
have chosen for the church.
