QUESTIONS OF
ETIQUETTE
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman.I


DEAR MRS. BEEC.1MAN:
~ l am a widow 80 years old
and expect to marry a widower of
"a years shortly after Easter.
Now, of course, ] will be wearing
a hat, but as 1t is to be. solemn
church wedding in the forenoon,
Is it proper to wear a dress or
coat also?
2. have a daughter eight
years old. Is she too old to be
flower girl? And the man l am
marrying has son Of seven years.
Should we have him for ring
bearer?
3. What color would be nice
for the one bridesmaid if /, the
bride. wear blue?
A READER.
You do not wear coat. Your
dress would be of a charming day
type. OF course, il you wish to
have your wedding very informal,
you could wear travelling suit
or a three piece ensemble.
OF course the pride for second
time does not wear white or
bridal veil, but her dress can be
very lovely and effective. And,
with a large, picturesque hat, her
costume can be made an interest
ing and harmonious unit.
3. Your wedding, since you both
have been married before and
since you both have children,
should be as conservative and
quiet" as you can plan it. And
/ advise you not to have your
daughter and your fiance's son
as wedding attendants. 1t would
be best taste If you have one at
tendant, your maid or matron of
honor, and the bridegroom have
one attendant, his best man. This
will give your wedding dignity.
3. Practically any shade har-
monies with blue, and she has a
choice of any shade that will be
becoming to her-a charming light
yellow, flesh-color, light pink.
Wedding Details
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
- When a bride has four
bridesmaids and maid of honor,
how should they enter the
church?
2. When she has so many in
the bridal party, does she need
to have flower girls?
3. How should they enter, If
the bride has only one brides
maid and maid of honor or two
bridesmaids? g.
First the ushers. walking to-
gether two by two. Then come
two bridesmaids, the shortest
ones. Then two more brides
maids, the tallest ones. Then the
maid of honor walking alone.
Then, last, the bride and her
father.
2. 1t is never necessary to have
flower girls. Indeed it is not GUS
tonary 20 have them. 1t is. OF
course. correct to have them, but
1t is not necessary. by any means.
3. Then one bridemaid alone,
or two together, walk after the
ushers. and the maid of honor
walks alone in front Of the bride
and hsr father.
