Some Pointers
on Manners
Marriage Detail5.
. BY Mrs. Beecknan
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
1 expect to be married in the morn
ing at II o'clock, in church. What
kind of suit should the groom wear,
and the best man and ushers? What
color tie? Is it proper for them to
wear gloves and what color?
.. am not having invitations or
announcements. Would it be proper
then TO have uShers?
3. | expect to wear a simple even
ing dress and hat. Would it be good
form TO carry a shower bouquet?
4. Will you please tell me how the
bridal party march?
>. Is it proper for the groom to
walk down with the bridesmaid?
6. What do you think about not
having invitations? l intend to ask
my relatives and friends to church,
and there is to be no reception.
At a morning wedding the correct
clothes for the groom are cutaway
coat and dark striped trousers. The
only substitute for these formal clothes
is the informal dark blue or black
business suit. The tic that is appro-
pirate for either of these suits is the
black silk four-in-hand with narrow
white stripe. With the cutaway coat
it is proper for the gentlemen to wear
pearl suede or white buckskin gloves.
With a business suit the gentlemen
would not wear gloves.
>. The fact that you are not send
ing out invitations or announcements
would not have anything to do with
having ushers. Ushers are a great
convenience.
3. Yes, or a corsage or arm bouquet,
as you wish.
4. First come the ushers, walking
together two by two. Then the brides
maids, walking together, two by two.
Then the maid of honor or matron of
honor. walking alone. Then the bride
with her father or whoever is to pre-
sent her in marriage.
.. No. 1t is not correct for the
groom to walk with the professional,
This is very bad form, and should
never be done, since it is the accepted
form for the groom to meet" the bride
at the chancel. The groom and his
best man enter the church from the
door of the vcstry or any other room
at the front of the church. They stand
TO the left of the clergyman, as they
wait for the arrival OF the bridal party
at the chancel.
6. it is perfectly correct, for a
smnn, infcNNni wedding, for you to
write notes to your relatives and
! friends asking them 10 the wedding.

Helpful Hints

The rather thick cord used for pip
ing loose chair covers is apt to shrink
the first time the covers are washed,
thereby causing the seams to have a
puckered appearance. II the cord is
washed, boiled and dried before be-
ing used, this difficulty is overcome.

The Rhyming
Optimist
If Dreams Were Done.
By Aline Michaelis

When love and joy are past and
youths brief course is run, how will
it be to face the day when all our
dreams are done? When all the shin
ing web our hopes so brightly wove
has vanished like the morning mists
from sun-swept field and grove, how
will it be to go from plodding hour
to hour through deserts bare of any
glow from fancy's vivid flower? All,
can the tides forswear the moons ma
jestic sway that, since time first be-
gan. has mastered wave and spray?
And can the shell forget old Oceans
mighty roar, and cast the echoes of
his song from out its beings core?
So, to the heart its dream; when love
and joy are done, still from the fabric
of our souls newsdreams will yet be
spun!

SAY IT'S WRONG

The Herald published last week a
statement that Paul Henry, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Caywood Henry of
Woodstock, following his disappear
ance after having been sentenced by
Judge NJ L. Walton, Jr., to the State
Industrial School because of his
criminal acts in Woodstock, had been
apprehended in Washington, because
of an infraction of the law in that
city
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry have left with
the Herald the following signed
statement:
1.-The report that Paul Henry was
held in Washington for violation of
the law is untrue. After being struck
by a car, while delivering messages
on bicycle for the Western Union
Telegraph Company, he was only de-
tanned in court until the amount OF
damages to his wheel was paid by
the woman whose car struck it.
CAYWOOD HENRY
ELIZA F. HENRY"
The youth was taken from Wash
ington to Richmond to begin his sen
tence imposed by the Juvenile Court
of Shenandoah County.

Many interesting short talks were in

really knew how many Virginians

In all probability the

DON'T BE A SUCKER

In written statement, A. A.
Coult. secretary to the Florida De-
Ivelopment Board, patriotic organ
ization, sounded this warming:
"Fly-by-night sharpers through
out the country are selling lots in
subdivisions not even known in Flo
rida. Hundreds of complaints have
reached us of promoters offering for
sale subdivisions represented as near
some large city and in reality from
ten to twenty miles distant.
'The general public seems to
have gotten the Florida fever, and
pays almost any price for lot in
Florida. Many of these so-called
subdivisions cannot be developed
along the lines promised by the pro-
moters because the location and
physical condition are unsuitable.
"A number of instances are known
where people without even an op-
ton have offered large acreage for
sale through newspaper advertising
in the hope of lining up the property
if a purchaser could be found. That
kind of dealing has done more than
anything else to disrupt orderly SELL
ing and may result in losses.
eve have been notified to expect
a large migration this winter of
high pressure oil-stock statesmen and
promotion fakirs who will try to
short-change the public in real es-
tate. One of these experts has boast
ed he could make cleanup in
three months and get away before
MS scheme is discovered by the suck
ers."

KILLED COON HUNTING

William Sale, aged 80, prominent
young farmer and member of one of
the leading families in the Fairfield
community in Rockbridge County,
plunged SO feet to his death from
the top of a tree he climbed while
coon hunting last Friday night.
1t had not been established wheth-
er Sale lost his hold on the tree or
whether limb broke under his
weight. Sales death resulted from
a broken neck, broken back and
other internal injuries. His body
was badly crushed in the fall.
1t was early in the evening when
Sale and several companions went
on their nightly hunt 1t was their
custom to go out after finishing their
work about the barn.

AUTOIsTs MUST APPLY EARLY
To the People of Virginia:

To the People of Virginia:
Time is close at hand for mailing
out to the automobile owners Of the
State their applications for licenses
for the year 1926. 1t is highly i'm
portant in order to save delays, in
convenience and to properly carry on
the work of the Motor Vehicle De-
partment, that all automobile own
ers who have changed their addresses
notify the Motor Vehicle Department
at once of such change. Unless this
is done the application will go to
the old addresses, probably be lost
and create dissatisfaction on the
part of those who desire to apply
for licenses for 1926. The depart
ment has no way of knowing of
changes of address unless notified to
that effect.
Due to the multiplicity of the
same names, in order that the pro-
per changes may be made, when this
information is sent in requesting
change, kindly give the license num-
Der under which you have been
operating during 1925.
We do earnestly urge upon the
people of Virginia to comply with
this request Immediately or it will
be too late to meet the desired end.
E. LEE TRINKLE.
Governor of Virginia.

WITNESS SPOKE GERMAN

Judge, jury and attorneys were at
sea to understand testimony in the
Circuit Court of Frederick County
on Monday, when Nick Skirvin was
placed on trial for robbing Joe Glenn
ons of $500 at Mrs. Vincent's board
ing house in Stephens City in Feb
ruary. Clemens could only speak
German and the services of an inter-
prefer were necessary to American
ize his evidence.
Frank H. Brumback and Gilbert
S. Pence were representing Skirvin,
also a foreigner and it was alleged
that the money was stolen in a night
of carousal in the boarding house.
Clemens went to sleep with the
money under his pillow and the evil
dence disclosed that Nick Skirvin
and his brother disappeared coinci-
dent with the disappearance of the
money. They left behind their bag
gage and a deposit in the Stephens
City bank.
To make sure that the interpreter
selected to repeat Clemens testimony
would not err, two additional Ger
transporting citizens were stationed
in the court room to note the cor
reetness of the translation of the evil
dence.
The jury found Nick guilty and
gave him a two-year penitentiary SEN
tence. The trial of Joe for COM
plicity in the robbery was then be-
gun.
