Charity, all bet up at the thought of

And straightway both young ladies
did swoon with charm aud precision.
That's the way they thought about
il in 1925. But how times have
changed in scant hundred years.
Now Prudence is no longer considered
odd if she secketh industry outside
the family walls. Rather she's con-
sidered goofy if she doesn't,
No, we're not joking. 1t has really

BAN has been married several years.
Until recently both she and her hus-
band worked in offices. As secretary
BAN earned last year $40 per month.
Recently she decided TO give mp her
position and devote herself to the
task OF making a home for her hus-
band and raising family. This she is
doing with great enthusiasm.

tcnce." she writes, but my friends

toward his well being and comfort

And l am wondering what ais

does take n comfortable home and d

Some Pointers
on Manners
Ring for the Bridegroom
BY Mrs. Beeckman

DEAR MRS. BEECKMANN:
In the double ring marriage cere'
mony, when the bride is having q
white gold ring, does the bridegroom
have a white or yellow gold band?
2-On what hand does the groom
wear his ring?
3-When the bride has a stepfather,
what is the wording of the wedding
invitations?
PUZZLED.
IA bridegroom, if he wishes to
wear a wedding ring, usually prefers
to wear yellow gold one. But the
bride should always consult with him
as to which he prefers.
2-The bridegroom wears his ring
on the wedding finger" the third
finger of the left hand.
3-If the bride and her stepfather
are very friendly and he has become
kind of second father TO her, it is
most courteous and kind of her If
she StlluS bul ItE llNlldlioHo III thN
name of her mother and her step
father. The invitation then reads:
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Lyon North
request the honor of your pres
ence at the marriage of their
daughter
Helena Brooke Moore,
Etc.
Another form, which is not such
good taste but which may be used II
the bride prefers not to use the first
form is:
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Lyon North
request the honor of your pres
ence at the marriage OF Mrs.
North's daughter
Helene Brooke Moore
Etc.
