the generous width Of the lower part
of the skirt.
Edith carried a rather old-fashioned
bouquet. Her cap was of tulle edged
with compact band of gardenias. The
little face veil was of tulle, as was the
long bridal veil which reached to the
very end of the extremely long train on
the dress.
Edith planned to keep this beau
tiful dress and pass it down to the
daughters she hoped to have.
Edith's bridesmaids were dressed in
pink chiffon of the softest, fainteSt
hue imaginable. The skirts were given
fluffiness by row upon row Of very full
ruchingS.
Each girl wore a close-fitting chiffon
hat with face veil and band of flowers
like Edith's. Only in the case of the
bridesmaids the flowers were made of
chiffon The effect of the array of
bridesmaids was not monotonous, even
though each one wore pale pink, for
the jackets were of varying pastel
shades.
The bouquets usually matched the
jackets in general color scheme. And
since the bouquets, like the brides,
were quaint old-fashioned affairs the
whole picture was really charming At
least all the guests at Ediths wedding
told her. her mother and each other
that this was so.

~ RcP-LEAF furniture is one of
the types much in vogue at
present. There is a wider va
~ riety of pieces than one who
is not acquainted with novelty
furniture might suppose.
Every one is familiar with drop-leaf
tables of a certain sort, but not all
realize that ironing boards can be this
style of equipment furniture. Nor does
every one associate drop leaves with
armchairs, yet drop-leaf armchairs and
even davenports have come into FASH
ion.
Since this furniture has been de-
veloped to meet certain reeds. it is well
for the home decorator to become &C
quainted with it.
Drop-leaf furniture has been designed
to conserve space and suit convenience.
Before the extension dining room table
was invented, there were but three
ways of enlarging tables-by rasiing
drop leaves, by pushing out leaves which
slid under the table top and by put
ting two or more similar tables together.
The drop-leaf table was found the most
convenient 1t conserved space best.
AL of us know of this type of table in
its many forms.
The drop-leaf armchairs and daven-
ports are now having vogue. They
are primarily built for convenience,
but they certainly conserve space also.
Not only do the leaves take the place
of extra occasional tables. but, when
dropped, the size Of the chair or sofa
is not enlarged at all. This furniture
Is seen to advantage in sun room and
porch pieces. The frames are not up
holstered for one reason, and the in
formality of the furnishing suits this
adaptation of the drop-leaf admirably.
Also it is in the sun parlor or on the
porch that the luxury of lounging is
especially INDUCED in.
Evening star., 1932-05-21

What could be more comfortable than
to sip a cup of tea conveniently placed
on the arm of ones chair? Or for two
persons seated on a davenport each to
have her own table for her tea service?
There is always table at hand, merely
by adjusting the drop-leaf arm, when
ever one wants to lay a book down or
to have ones sewing appointments at
hand. Comfort and convenience are
admirably coupled in these drop-leaf
armchairs and davenports.
There is difference as well as a dis
tinction between drop-leaf tables and
tip-tables, although each conserves
space and contributes to convenience
In the tip table, the whole thing swings
on hinges and pivots. Part of the top
rises, while part drops, and the table
is utterly useless when tipped except
for fire screen. Tip tables were some
times made to do duties of both table
and screen, These tables were especial
ly decorative to befit the last-named
purpose. The drop-leaf table always
has main top portion, however mar
row, which remains useful although its
leaves may be dropped.
Ironing boards which are hinged to
the wall Of laundry or kitchen, and
which can be raised or dropped when
in or out of use, are another idea in
drop-leaf furniture Very often, today,
these ironing boards, when raised, fit
into a niche in the wall, and when be-
hind the door closed against it, the
board is completely concealed
There are drop-leaf draining boards
for sinks, drop-leaf tea-wagons and in
Vulnerable tables consisting of shelves
hinged to a wall The shelves, when
adjusted, make admirable tables, and
when dropped take up no room. One
such table, hinged to railing or the
side of the house, is excellent for a We
randa, especially a narrow one.

Judging People.

There is one part of our environment
which we seem unable to judge cor
rectly. That part is our human en-
vironment.
or course, human beings have always
made some attempt to judge other
human heings-to find out Just how and
why they are what they are. Written
documents of one kind or another show
that this judging has been going on for
ht least "a centuries. These "a cen
turies of judging have netted next to
nothing.
The way people walk, the way people
talk. the way people write, the stars
under which they are born, their phys
ical traits, their hobbies, vocations. what
they read and a score of other personal
facts have been studied exhaustively.
No real results.
This art or science is imperfect, be-
cause we continually try to judge others

Accessories Which Are Matched
BY MARY MARSHALL.
w YITHIN the past few years

w WITHIN the past few years
women have become pretty
wv well educated on the i'm
portance OF color harmony
in dress. II the subject Of
ensemble" has been harped upon to
the point Of WEAKNESS it at least had
beneficial results, because nowadays
almost every woman realizes that she
must select gloves, stockings, hats,
scarfs and other accessories with a
view to color and shade. Accessories
need not match. but they must have
a definite bearing on the costume, and
contrasts in tone or color must be In
territorial rather than haphaZard. And
because women have come to take these
things for granted, fashion writer's say
less about them.
But even the most carefully dressed
woman must remind herself occa-
sionally Of the importance of color har-
mony and the helpfulneSS of occasional
" having two or three accessories def
nitely matched. You may, for instance,
buy matching scarf and hat band.
We especially like the smart little 13-
inch printed linen scarfS with match
ing hatbands. The scarfS are square,
like handkerchiefs, folded over dag
onally and worn tied at the back with
a trinity tailored wool or linen crash
suit, while the matching band may be
worn with natural colored straw hat
or a lightweight felt hat.
Among the newest matching acces-
sorieS are fabric handbags with match
ing ScarfS. You can buy them in in
teresting figured print designs, in
stripes, dots or checks. We might sug-
gest that you could make a simple
envelope handbag yourself, were it not
that these matching bag and scarf sets

happen.
Two mothers called on the principal
of a big school within an hour and
each complained of the badness OF
the others children. II try my best
to bring up my children. but If they
are to associate with such young ones
as those who live next door don't
see what I'm to do.
Their mother doesn't seem to know
what is going on. Those children beat
the others, they use bad words, they
break up the games the others play
II you say word to them they sass
right back. Will you please see that
my children don't associate with them
at all? Take Billy out of that class
and put him in another"
With scarcely a variation the two
complaints were made in dead earnest
The burden of the story was the same
MY children are good. If it weren't
for the other children in the world
could get along fine. Now you take
care of the other children and mine
will be all right"
If life were only as easy as that. II
living alone were life in perfection, how
easy that would be! Unfortunately life
must be lived in common with the
rest of humanity. One cannot go to
cloister and still remain in the world
Children, like grown-up people, must
learn to live as comfortable as possible
with other people. You canot eliminate
anybody. If the children next door
move away others come, and the result
is the same. Friction and misunder-
standing and trouble.
Why not take it all cheerfully? Why
not know that ones own children are
having about the same effect on the
mother next door as hers have on
you? Then set to work to train the
children to meet life in better form
and higher spirit, with laughter and
good fellowship. That will be better
training for what is to come by and by
Understanding people, getting along
with them, is one of the essential
qualities for successful living. The
man or woman who cannot get along
with others is bound to be disappointed
unhappy, and a failure. The person
who can make and keep friends on a
wholesome human basis Is a success
from the start.
Instead of encouraging children
to fight each other, to Shun each other,
help them to adjust themselves to the
individuals about them. Help them to
keep a sense of proportion. Guide them
to discriminate between trif1es and
principles, and do not say too much
about the principles. Just act on them
and the children will sense them
underlying your life.
Teach the children the truth that
all belong to one family and there is
very little to choose between us when
the count is made. 1t is better to
understand than to criticize. Better
to be friendly and generous than to
be grudging and carping and superior.
A quarrel Is an indication of social
failure. Social failure is serious. Social
success Is essential to happiness.

A Little Saturday Talk.

IRON Madison, Wis, the fair city

letter with an interesting story
L about robins:
Dear Uncle Ray: Would you
like to hear about a pair of robins
which live beside the lower campus of
the University of Wisconsin, and which
seem to insist that I feed them?
Last Summer two robins, seemingly
rather young, were hopping around in
front of our Office. We gave them dry
bread crumbs when We came to work
in the morning, and they soon began
to expect their breakfast from us. In
the Autumn, when the weather grew
chill, they flew away.
"One day this Spring, as I was en-
tering the Office, saw pair OF robins
in front of the window-the same ones.
I believe, that fed last year. When l
stepped into the Office, they hoped up
on the window sill-as If begging Tor
something to eat.
"Since that morning I have always
come prepared 10 feed them. Almost
every morning, they come hopping up
the sidewalk to meet me. When ! get
