Some Pointers
on Manners
Colors for Bridesmaids.
By Mrs. Heeckman
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
At my wedding am going to have
four bridesmaids and maid of hon
or. would like to know what col
ors would be best for them to wear.
(2) DO ushers wear gloves?
OBJ Would it be correct for the
little flower girl to wear the same
shade as the bridesmaids?
ANXIOUS.
Any light shades are appropriate
for the attendants. and flesh or pink
are especially lovely for evening. Or
child, too, is good, and light blue, but
flesh is becoming to practically every
body. So.
(2) If the ushers wear evening
clothes, as they of course should at
an evening wedding, they should wear
gloves.
(3) II you wish. Indeed, think
that it is charming for the frocll of
the flower girl to carry out the color
scheme of the wedding.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAlRtAN:
have never been married. A few
months ago l fell in love with WON.
an thirteen years older than /.
Would you kindly let me know
whether ages make a difference in love
and marriage? J. NJ. &.
A slight discrepancy in ages should
not affect the happiness of a mar
riagc even though the wife is the
elder. But thirteen years is quite a
difference. And as women usually age
more quickly than men. your friend
is wise in considering well before she
marries man SO much younger than
herself.
IL you and she are extremely con
genial despite the difference in years,
and there is n sound friendship h.
tween you, possibly your marriage
may turn out well.

A Big Difference in Ages.
DNAR MISS FAIRFAX. -

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
/ would greatly appreciate it If you
would advise me through your, col
umns as to whether you consider
eleven years too much difference be-
tween the ages of man and woman
who wish TO wed, the woman being thu
elder. Where couple really love and
cannot live without each other. but
where the woman is the older by
eleven years. what should be done?
Is a woman justified in telling her

She heard him often as that mo-

IT'S the first time. begorra, your

One night she went home for din

And Jennie, with her old fashioned

This night Chickic wanted only

five years there had been walks
with the dog-just five years since
Jake had brought him-since the
night he stood in the hall, so tickled
to find her glad. Yet when she
stopped. enrapturcd and kissed the
dog, Jake's face grew white and he
said with n sharp breath: Here!
Don't you do that again! Not while
I'm around !"
She hadn't trusted Jake a great
deal in those days. How wrong
ones vision often is!
And now-gone from her-he
reached out 70 drop more gifts in
Chickie's lap-it was of these that
she must think. The seven dollars
he had left her in his will-nOt seven
only-a sum that staggered Chicbie's
thought.
Jake left TO Jonathan in trust for
her and she was to have it when
she YVES 26-she was to have 100000
and TO do with il whatever she
might like-just anything. The law
