MAY Day Bride

Dear Miss Lee: | am going to. be mar
ried about the first of May and l wish
you would please advise me on the fol
lowing questions:
/. We are to have a double ring cere-
mony. Does the bridegroom buy both The
rings or should | buy his ringy
We are going to have a very intor'
mai wedding Should | give my brides
maid as gift as is customary at large we'd
dlngs: And should the bridegroom give
his best man anything?
.. should | carry flowers? | am going
10 wear travelling costume as we VIII
leave directly after the wedding.
/. The bridegrooms ring should
be a sift from you-whether you
pick it out or he does.
2. 1t is a charming custom to give
gifts to the attendants though it
is not absolutely necessary. But
the gifts don't have to be terribly
expensive and it is better to do so.
3. You can either wear a corsage
and still wear it when you leave on
your wedding trip, or you can do
as one bride of my acquaintance
did, have your boquet made so that
it can be divided into two corsages
one to be left with mother and
kept for sentiments sake.
