Susan was planning her wedding which was to take place early in June. She and Albert were agreed that the wedding should not be an expensive affair and yet, they wanted it to-. be proper in all its details. The question of who pays for what was vexing them. Susan consulted some books of etiquette and then checked her answers with Nancy. t r
 Am right in telling Albert that he pays for license, clergyman's fee, my bouquet and nothing else?" | Not quite, Sue. although customs differ in various parts of the country. It is generally accepted that he shall pay for the brides maids flowers and the boutonnieres for the ushers. Then he usually gives the bride a gift. Of course he had to pay ali the travelling ex- penses for. the honeymoon trip"
 "The brides father or family pays for the decorating at home or in the club or church. for music, for the reception. They pay for the we'd ding invitations and announcements, the cabs or machines which carry specially invited guests to church. If you invite out of town relatives and guests it is the accepted thing to have your family entertain them at your home or make arrange ments at the local hotel. Your family is supposed to pay those | bills.

Almost any of the plain or printed crepe silks, thin woolens, shantung and linen are lovely for this model.
 Imagine for instance, royal blue flat crepe silk with pale blue silk plaided in royal blue peeping meath the brief bolero. A plaided silk pip ing will also peep at the neckline. The chic short sleeves are cut up from the lower edge and tied to-. gether in a smart new youthful manner.

 That kids pest" Tommy nut tered. ' ~
 Some unexpressed emotion moved him to step on the gas and they flew along at a speed that left Beryls old car far in the rear. MT Hoffman protested, but Tommy paid him no heed He felt like getting even with some one.
 In far less time than Mir Hoff- man expected they arrived at a crossroads corner where they turned south to the fishing grounds. There. reports had it, the bluefish were running plantifully.
 "Stop here at this garage min- ute," Mrs Hoffman said to Tommy as he slowed up for the turn. | "What for?"
 "Never you mind. Do as I say and stop.". .-.+ ''" ----

 Don't sell him a dog" Tommy said suspiciously. His uncle was acting funny and he couldn't un- derstand it.
 l Time passed and Tommy fidgeted while his uncle remained inside the garage. At this rate they'd never get back in time for him to see Irene before the day was gone. And he'd made up his mind since starting out that he must see her. Maybe she wouldn't be so stubborn after night of thinking things over.. And it would certainly suit his plans to have their elopement over with. He wanted plenty of time before col lege reopened to bring his aunt around to his point of view. He was about to go inside and urge his uncle to get along to their destination when Beryl and her gang came rattling down upon him MT Hoffman, noting her arrival quit his stalling much to the relief of the garage owner. and came. out to tell her he was glad she'd got there.
 J For minute Tommy listened with his brow wrinkled in per- plexity; then he saw light. This was a cooked-up job. But he couldn't see why when his uncle favored his match with Irene-he should drag him away from her on Sunday and hand him over to Beryl,
 He wasn't left long in ignorance. It was revealed that all his uncle wanted was to store his nice new car in the garage and have Beryl drive him to the fishing grounds in her music box, which could stand out in the blistering sun and salt air for hours without harm to it's community-painted surface. "I guess you don't know what Iyou've done," Tommy said darkly to his uncle when he had him for Ia moment out of Beryl's, hearing. l"Irene will never forgive me for this."

"Is that so?" his uncle asked with a touch of real anxiety. Why thought :. her mother was over to the theater last night, looking for you, and she said Irene was going away for while. I thought 1t was all right when I met Beryl."
 "Where'd you meet herr? Tom my asked skeptically.
 At the drug store. I went in for a soda."
 "Must have been pretty late.' Tommy pursued. "She was at home when I left there last night and that wasn't early"
 Sure 1t was late. She was get ting something for her mother; said she had mysteries, but she looked like she needed something for her. |self.''
 "H'm, she made a quick recov- cry" Tommy retorted, looking over toward Beryl, who was herding her picnic, group into lesser space in the old car.

 Beryl insisted upon driving and Tommy had to sit squeezed in be- tween her and his uncle.
 'Tf "a cop sees you" he warned hopeful. you'll get a ticket for this overcrowding."

 They arrived finally, somewhat confused as to the. proper owner ship of various assorted arms and legs at hte beach, and piled out according to their respective fit ness.
 Beryl watched Tommy and his uncle take off for their fishing with genuine longing in her shadowed eyes. She loved fshing. but she couldn't leave her gang that was her promise to their mothers.

Probably the best recipe for mak- ing a beauty out of yourself is to fall in love.

This sells you to yourself and ing yourself proudly, have con- fidence that Is inspiring and en- courages others to think you are pretty nice too.
 Second, you love looking pretty because someone expects it of you. Your clothes mean more to you. You want your hair fresh and fra grant, your skin lovely to touch, your eyes sparkling and your hands cared for.
 If you could just get the phychol- | ogy of being loved and take all this additional care, it might taken for the effect. that you are loved because you are so attrac ctive.

West Virginians Would Pool Pro

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
A surcharge based on each individual
freight bill, with the proceeds pooled
for the benefit of less prosperous roads
instead of a general rate increase. was
suggested to the Interstate Commerce
Commission today in brief filed by
the West Virginia Live Stock Growers
and Shippers.
The brief, first of score or more ex-
pected before arguments start Septem-
Der 81, on the Is per cent rate increase
case. informed the commission the Or
ganization was opposed to an increase
especially by the so-called Pocahontas
lines, whose prosperity is notorious"
The PocahontaS lines include the
Norfolk a. Western Chesapeake & Ohio
and the Virginian railroads, which serve
the Poeahontas coal fields.
However, to meet the needs OF less
prosperous roads, it suggested that
percentage surcharge, the same for
every part of the country, be applied
to freight bills by fixed amounts per
car. per 100 pounds. or per ton. 1t
would exempt agricultural commodities
and fertilizer materials throughout the
country and local coal rates on the
Pocahun lines. AS means of pre-
venting loss of traffic to trucks the
plan would exempt also all short-haul
items paying less than 5 5a shipment.
