The Rhyming

My Songs.

WY SOhSo.
If I should sing TO you Of joy
which lends its glow to every hour,
which brightcns every sunlip trail and
swcetens every budding flower, l
would but tell you of the light that,
with your coming, famed for me; l
would but tell you all my ways were
touched with sudden ecstacy! If I
should sing to you of love that is so
wonderful a thing it rings in every
robins note and CLEANS on every lin
nets wing, ] would but glorify the
gift that you into my life have brought,
the alchemy of your sweet self trans
muting worthless deed and thought.
And so these are my only themes since
you brought light and melody into my
soul, for now l find joy, love fill all
the world for me.

You do not tell me how old you

ably will be all right. You must, how

Some Pointers
on Manners
Wedding Details.
By Mrs. Beeckman
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman
I am having a home wedding and
would like to have some information ::
IL the bride is dressed in white,
with q veil. and the wedding ceremony
is at s o'clock in the evening does
the groom wear blue suit or tuxedo?
2. At a small home evening we'd
ding are there ushers and If so how
many?
9. With only one bridesmaid as at
tendant. docs she wear a hat?
4. Do the bride and bridesmaid
wear gloves. X. Y. u.
Neither. To be correctly dressed the
groom wears evening clothes. Since
his bride is to be formally dressed the
groom should also be formally dressed.
A tuxedo suit is informal and is not
correct. and business suit is most
informal.
2. At a small home wedding it is
not necessary to have ushers. Usually
there is nothing for them to do, since
in a room it is simple for the guests
TO take their places. But, Of course, 1t
is not incorrect to have one or two
ushers.
8. At an evening wedding at home
I think that it would be better for the
bridesmaid not to wear a hat. She
need not wear anything on her hair
or she could wear a bandeau or any
other hair ornament.
This is according to the taste Of the
bride. Usually, if her gown is as for
NAL as yours is to be she. chooses to
wear gloves to carry out the harmony
If the formality. The bridesmaid usu-
nlly nowadays does not wear gloves,
but II is correct for her to do so ii
you choose to have her.

Helpful Hints

Silver knives should not be i'm
mersed in boiling water as the heat
will soften the cement used in joining

sually successful fishing trip to

ing to the story toll To-Day, the
game warden is the ''goat" OF the

Each of the erio caught the linn
it of % bass, but it took Richmond
Il little longer than The other two,
according to "Tommy' Thomas.
The latter states, and is ready 10
swear to it, that when Frank fin
ished trimming off some moss from
"A big bass that he had caught, ne
threw the fish back into the lake
and put the moss in the boat
Also, the biggest fish - got
away as usual, when Cal N >rsseau
allowed him to slip out of his hands
while trying to remove him from
the hook. !. IA,
Attempts by Press representa-

two officials, proved unsuccessful,
Richmond being occupied with Il

Ignition Woes
Cause Fourth of
Stranded Autos

SAN FRANCISCO. June %
Ignition trouble causes one fourth
of all the mechanical difficulties
which cause motorists to become
stranded on the road, according to
statisticians of the California State
Automobile association.
The conclusion is based on 21 sos
trouble calls to the emergency
road service of the association in Il
months.
Automobile starters were found to
contribute 10 per cent of the grief
of motorists, while the battery caus-
5 per cent of the trouble.
Flat tires, which the trouble
shooters change for women driv-
ers, brought in ii per cent of the
calls for help.
Motorists still forget automobiles
will not run without gasoline, be
cause IL per cent of the calls were
for gasoline transportation to Il
stalled car.
Only one third of all troubles fail
to yield to roadside treatment and
require towing into a garage, the as
ssciation found.
Nearly all the wrecks were caused
by -eslsssosss -<i =eess- -4a -hisAs<sys-
intersections, where cutting corners
and failure TO give proper hand sig
nals were found TO be the contribut-
ing causes.
