Wedding Cake Duties
"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"Will you kindly tell me just
what the duties are for one who
has been asked to take charge
of the wedding cake at an after.
noon wedding? I think it is to
be a simple home wedding.
Should the young lady wear q
hat? "R."
If 1t is an afternoon wedding
and reception, the young lady
would wear q hat. Her duty
in taking charge Of the we'd
ding cake" might include the
serving of the brides cake, after
the bride has cut the first piece
or the first few pieces, and Serv-
ing the pieces of cakes to the
guests. $50 often the brides
cake is referred to as the wed
ding cake and very often this
cake is served in this way, when
the service is buffet service for
a small group.)
It might mean that the young

on which are the boxes OF we'd

wrapped in foil and packaged
in the lovely little white mono
grammed boxes tied with white
ribbon. AS each guest leaves,
he or she is handed box OF the
cake, as a memento Of the i'm

MAKE OWN ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
II am planning to be married
next month, and would like
your advice or suggestions in
the matter.
First, I'm wondering about
the announcements. My mother
has been dead for years and my
father has married again. For
the past six months 1 have been
living with relatives because of
family disturbances. I'm won
dering whether or not should
use their names on the an
nOuncements. What would you
suggest?
I'm planning a simple we'd
ding service, and expect to be
married in the home Of a friend
in the ministry, about S or 6
o'clock in the evening, with per.
haps just another couple as at
tendants. Would it be in order
for me to weare a Semi-fOrmal
evening dress and no hat?
"BRIDE-TO-BE."
Under the circumstances,
since apparently you do not wish
to have your father and STEP
mother make this announce
ment, it would be the best plan,
I think. for you and your fiance
to make the announcement in
your own names.
To make this announcement
in the names of the relatives
with whom you are now living
would unnecessarily emphasize
the fact that you are not willing
to have the announcement made
by your father and Stepmother.
Making your own announce
ment would be a perfectly dig
nified thing for you to do.
For this simple wedding that
you plan late in the afternoon
the most appropriate attire for
you to year would be a street
dress or street ensemble, with a
hat. If you are leaving directly
after the ceremony for your
wedding trip, you could most
appropriately wear your travel
ing costume.
For a wedding of this kind,
and at this hour, a Semi-formal
evening dress and no hat would

playing checkers with his pig friend
When, later i'll the evening, he
hoped out. there was Nurse Jane IS

with lead or solder. Mr.. Longears
paid the tinker dog and started for
home. The moon was shining
bright on the snow. And when Un-
Gle Wiggily got to the top of the
hill he saw many of the animal
boys and girls coasting on their
sledS.

Uncle Wiggily!' they called, crowd
ing around the bunny with their
sleds. "Ride down hill with me. -

sled even if it was funny. Uncle
Wiggily sat in the pan, gave him

and down he coasted as fast as
anything. The dishpan sled turn
ed around and around several
times, making the bunny a little
dizzy but he didn' mind that. So

buy with the fund the historic wal
nut furniture, the blue drapes, the
expensive blue carpet, the walnut
conference table and the big wal
nut desk that General Johnson
pounded so vigorously and histori-
cally in the mighty moments OF
NRA's beginnings. The collected
fund totalled $1,186.32. Then came
bitter realization. There was not
enough money to purchase the ex-
pensive fittings and even had there
been, the furniture was property OF
the U. S. government, making le-
gality of sale highly doubtful and
certainly subject to extensive red
tape.

EDITORIAL PACE
and
FEATURES
STARTING OUT RIGHT

Determination to keep state eXpendi-
lures below its income and recognition
of the need for social Justice if Social
ism is to be avoided, formed the keynoteS
of the inaugural addresses delivered yes
terday by Governor Merriam, and Lieu
tenant Governor Hatfield.
The governor recognized the duty of
the. executive and the legislature to give
intelligent, devoted, energetic and un-
selfish attention. to the problems con-
fronting the state, if they are to be
solved. He emphasized the need for ad-
dltlonal taxation if the states finances
are to be placed in satisfactory condition,
but insisted that mot one unnecessary
dollar be sought from the taxpayers
Striking at the evils of 'lobbyism." he
urged legislators to remember that they
are the representatives of the people to
whom alone they owe allegiance, and
should not be swayed from their duty by
any special interest, selfish pleaders or
secret Influence
1t Governor Hatfield pointed out that
the present unsettled conditions existing
throughout the state did not exist with
out cause and asserted that what the leg
islature does will determine whether we
can have social justice without Social
ism.
so long as we have widespread un-
employment and want and need in Cali
fornia, we shall have the seeds of radi-
calism in California" he said, land so
long as we have form of special priv
ilege, which permits taX-evasion by
favored few at the expense of the aver
age taxpayer, we shall have public dis
trust of our public institutions
1t Is quite apparent from their re-
marks that the governor and his chief
aide are aware of the principal evils
threatening the state and that they are
sincerely interested in leading the way to
Improvement
Every citizen of the state should feel
encouraged that, instead of the time
worn and empty hollewness which is the
usual thing in inaugural addresses, the
leaders of the state recognize conditions
as they are and wish the people also to
recognize them, so that, being recognized,
coping with them will be made much cas-
ier.
If we have accomplished nothing more
than a divorce from the ostrich charac-
teristic of hiding our heads in the sand,
this is indeed progress and inspires the
hope for better things. Men can cope
with recognized facts and letting the
people know the facts is one of the best
means of correcting evils.
The frankness of Governor Merriam
and 1t. Governor Hatfield should enlist
the support of all citizens in aiding them
to place the state government on an even
keel

YOUNGSTERS HELP NEEDED

out proper signals or without watching
out for other traffic, and few more.
not forgetting our old friend the light
less bicycle at night.
These offenseS are committed by
Youngsters old enough to know better
Perhaps few words on the matter from
parents or teachers would make them see
the danger of such conduct and induce
them to be more careful.
We have seen. just such incidents as
those enumerated above and complaints
have come from others to this office.
Recently the chief of police asked par
ents to warn their children not to ride
bicycles on Main street and busy streets
IN the immediate vicinity. 1t is recog-
nlzed that there are cases when it may
be necessary for them to do So but rid
ing for pleasure only should be restrict
ed to the residential streets. Roller skat-
ing was also included in the chiefs re-
quest. Roller skating on the street at
any time or any place, is dangerous
sport. 1t should be confined to the side
walks.
We can't afford to dismiss disregard
of the traffic regulations on the part of
youngsters with the statement they are
too young" If they are old enough to
ride bicycles and use roller skates they
are old enough to understand the dan
ger which accompanies these activities
Certainly boys and girls in the higher
grades can be reached. 1t is the duty of
parents to talk with them about this mat.
ter and they should not feel that it is up
to the school authorities. The children
are not under the jurisdiction of the lat
ter when going to and coming from
school and that is where most of the
trouble lies.
The cooperation of children is partic-
ularly needed, if traffic accidents are to
be reduced.
With its whimsical mayor on its hands,
San Diego ought to know just how the
owner of white elephant feels.
The man whom Hauptmann called a
liar needn't feel badly about it. At least
he isn't what Hauptmann certainly
seems to be.

Self Denial' was the theme
for the program given yesterday at
the Methodist Ladies Aid society
in the church social hall, this
theme being particularly appropri-

was taken at that time.
During the month of December
each member denied herself some
thing and contributed the money
she would otherwise have spent to
the Aid society S pledge toward the
church.
Mrs. H. G.. Jones was in charge
of the devotional, her theme being

said Nurse Jane.
This was done and Uncle Wiggily
was soon on his way to the pig
