No matter how terrible your IN

Don't step out OF the ranks

Keep going on!

Stick to it, though 1t turns to

to it though you blunder and
make countless mistakes
Grab each small task that of

Keep doing something's
Go through the gestures OF

Do not betray by one least
culver of your face nor falfering
of your grip that all your spirit
crawls and whines in terror. Eat.

Then gradually your inner body

DECORATIONS
FOR WEDDING
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckmal

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Will you tell me the
proper attire for a bride at
small home wedding?
(2) Also viii you suggest the
decorations of the home?
MRS. w. j. G.
A white gown with white
accessories, tulle veil and show
er bouquet is always the most
becoming and the most attractive.
In these days a wedding gown for
a ceremony at home may be made
with or without a train. The
train Is usually detachable. Or
the bride-to-be may wear an
elaborate afternoon gown of some
very soft material like chiffon or
velvet in ivory or some delicate
pastel shade. She will wear with
this picturesque hat and carry
q bouquet.
(2) The house should be deco
rated with natural flowers or
plants. If flowers are too ex-
pensive, any natural green or
autumn foliage will be suitable.
Do not use anything artificial.
1t is better to have just vase
or two of real flowers than many
artificial ones

When a Man Offers His Arm

~ In our talk of etiquette this
noon an argument came up about
a man offering his arm to girl
while crossing the street.
A said that the man offers his
arm to the girl while crossing,
the girl taking his arm.
B said that the man pits his
hand under the girls elbow and
In this way helps her to cross.
VIII you please act as judge in
this argument and tell me who is
right. PUZZLED.
EITHER is correct, but AS ad-
II vice is bit better. If q
woman really needs assistance in
crossing the street, the man may
offer his arm. Or he may guide
a woman with a hand on her
arm. Some men do rs B suggests,
but many woman resent this
push elbow" habit, and so it is
not in such good favor as the
hand-On-the-arm assistance. The
thing that simply never is allowed
is for the gentleman to take the
lady's arm
AS matter of fact, the thing
that is emphasized in all such
arguments is the fact that nova
days, when independence seems
to be one of the elements that is
most affecting manners. people
walk independently. No longer
do ladies drape themselves on the
arms of gentlemen as they walk
on the street, and for women TO
hang on TO mems arms when
walking L. ridiculously provincial.
