Correct Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman

White FIannels for the Groom?
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Would 1t be correct for the
groom to wear white flannels
and a dark coat at a simple
church wedding to be held the
last week in May? The bride
Is to be in the usual white, hav-
ing just one attendant.
Would a maid Of honor Of IS
years Of age and a best man of
II be too young as attendants?
There are certain reasons for
wanting these two as attendants
II their ages do not prohibit it.
K.
If by the usual white" you
mean that the bride is to be
dressed formally, in a white
wedding dress and bridal veil,
then this attire Of the groom
would be inappropriate espe-
cially for such an early-in-the-
season wedding, and a church
wedding. To be dressed con-
Gistent with the attire Of his

bride, the groom would wear
formal day clothes, cutaway
coat and dark striped trousers,
for a day-wedding, and in tail.
coat for an evening wedding.
Since the bride and groom
especially wish these two young
attendants, I see no reason
why they shouldn't have them.
Wedding Gift For the Boss?

I am secretary to a Junior
executive and have been work.
ing for him for four years. He
is to be married within a short
time and the office force, COL
.lectively. is giving him a gift.
Would it be proper for me to
contribute toward this gift or
is it proper for me to give him
a gift individually. c.
This is just as you choose,
but it would seem to be a bit
more appropriate for you to
join in the collective gift.

PREVIEW TONIGHT ssSON OF KONC''
CARRIES CALVES OFF
 DOCK; COWS FOLLOW

According to Frank Karabelnikoff, longshore boss, if he had the time to practice, he could equal the feat of that ancient Greek swho carried a bull around on his shoulders. Right today, Frank can equal the beginning of that famous stunt, and he demonstrated his ability by carrying two calves off the North Wind today noon.
 The calves, born aboard the ship on the way north, were just bit wobbly, and the cows could not be induced to move along the dock until Frank carried the offspring of the respective mothers little ahead of them. The cows would follow, but not lead.
 The mothers and calves are doing well, according to reports, and will be at home to visitors at the Juneau Dairy. They are high grade Jernsteins, cross between Jer- seys and Holsteins.
