what is the correct attire
for the groom and men guests?
Formal evening dress for the
men seems so out of place
when know that the majority Of
the men guests will not be in

or Tuxedo suits be substituted, or
is this improper?
II want to keep my wedding

1t is you yourself, my dear bride
to-be, who have set the stamp of
formal" on your wedding since
you have elected to wear formal
bridal attire. A formal wedding
dress, a bridal veil-when the
bride chooses to wear these, she
proclaims that her wedding is to
be formal" and the groom and
the best man and the uShers must,
to be consistent with this formal
ity, dress formally.
Formal evening attire for men
is tails" not Tuxedo suits, GER
tainly not business suits. You
needn't be too much concerned
about what the men guests are to
wear, since you will hope that
they will abide by the formality
that you have prescribed, but you
can't regulate this. However. you
apparently can regulate what the
groom and the men in the wed
ding party are to wear.

Beauty
By DONNA GRACE

ANY clever girl can dye her
own hair at home, if she will
provide herself with proper direc-
lions and then follow them.
There are many women who
do all their own hair dyeing and
bleaching, and have found 1t to
be a very simple operation.
If the hair is normal, and has
not been subjected to various
hair oloringS, or tints, tn err
should be no difficulty.
When there have been applica-
tons of dyes and what are called
"hair restorers" there should be
a series of oil treatments given
before another dye is applied.
When one kind of dye is used,
there should be no complica-
tionS, and it may be used when
ever it is necessary to touch up
the roots. This may go on for
years with perfect satisfaction.
The mixture of dyes, however,
will sometimes have a bad effect
on the hair. You see every manu-
facturer has his own formula
and his own ingredients that
make up that certain kind of
dye, and there are some dyes
that do not combine well, one
with the other.
When you are not sure about
the kind of dye you are using, the
best thing to do is to go to an
expert operator, or have a mum

the dye already on the hair.

The mellow tropical flavor OF
the fruit makes it ideal for salads
and certain fruit combinations.
The color of the avocado may
vary from slightly purple to
green. The skin is tough and
thick. The pear should not be
eaten until the outer surface OF
the fruit can be denied. The fruit
is at it's best when the pulp can
be spread like butter.
If you are trying it for the first
time. cut it in halves first, slip
out the large stone, peel the halves.
The fruit is delicious in salad or
for the horS d'oeuVre.
The use of the fruit as a garnish
for an entree or salad is one of

HERE'S probably the best gadget
II that's been invented so far, to
help us keep our hair in order.
It's a curler that is easy to use, is
practically fool proof, and that
can be operated by anyone, quick
ly, simply and "for sure" To be
sure, there have been other curriers',
and good ones, but the new thing
about this one is that it puts your
curl securely into a bobby pin,
close to your scalp, and the pin
holds it firmly until the curls are
dry. It's marvellous for those I'M
ruly hairs on the back of the neck,
and for front or side curlS, too.
Here's the way it works. (See pic
ture above). You insert the ends
of the pin into the curls. Then
clip the ends of the hair under the
clip. Wind the knob of the curler,
which winds the hair evenly and
tightly. When you get it where
you want it, hold the knob in one
hand, the finger holder in the
other, and slide the curl off. 1t
comes off held by the pin, and
right in place. The air can circu-
late through the curl, for quicker
drying, and as the pin is so firm
and even on the hair, the curls
will be tight and close to the head.
If this isn't entirely clear, go down.
town to the store where there will
be a demonstration all this week,
and learn to do it for yourself.
The curler comes boxed with two
packages Of pins (you can use any
bobby pins in it, and sells for

- that's a new note in fall
gloves, and an exceedingly smart
one. And here is an example of
how good looking they are. These
gloves are of suede with a soft
leather trimming in cuff effect,
and lacings of the suede on the
leather. They will be excellent for
street wear with either your tweeds
and sports-like Woolens, or with
more formal costumes, as the two
feathers make them suitable for
either. In brown or black, they are
$2.95.

 the translation of which reads:

 In addition the side of the bell bears a later inscription punched on it, ,'Sn. Fern" and above this inscription a Catholic cross beau tifully worked into the metal.
 To look back at the history of this bell we learn that Shelikof, for whom the straits to the west ward were named, had formed a company and in 1788 Empress Catherine issued an oukaz giving to the Shelikof Company exclu- sive rights over Kadiak Island and nearby territory for a period of 20 years. Shelikof for ten years previously had been fur hunting in this vicinity.
 In 1794 18 Russian priests ar- rived at Kadiak Island, having been petitioned for by Shelikof. On one day and at one place they baptized over 1000 persons. At an early date the casting of bells commenced and the material for them was obtained from several sources. Some was sent from Russia, some was obtained from the Copper River and some iron was contributed by Vancouver. The material of this bell has not been analysed, but it probably came from the Copper River with the copper.

Indians Perform > Rites For Price
(By The Associated Press)

(By The ASsoclateo FreSs(
 FLAGSTAFF, Arizona, Aug.17 Indians of the southwest, who for centuries hid their strange tribal rites from the white man, now are willing to perform be- fore all corners, for a price.
 The latest of the secret rites to go "box-office" is the Araphoe scalp dance, presented, for the first time publicly perhaps, at the annual southwestern Indian pow wow here.
 In the early days of the west the scalp dance celebrated a bloody victory over white hunt CTS and trappers. The same rite is performed around a campfire, representing the return to camp of the victorious warriors.
 To the beat of tom-tome, half naked braves leap in frenzy aro- und the flames, armed with their short, deadly hunting spears and having scalps taken from heads of white men.

UNDATED, August l7-Gov- ernment soldiers answered Rebel warship shells against Irun and San Sebastian with swift death for hostages before firing squads. Rebel battleship Espana was en- gagged in smelling the towns. The executioners rifles could be heard cracking in the besieged cities.
 Frontier advises said that the Rebel prisoners were being exc cuted in retaliation for the she'll ing of the cities. About twelve hundred hostages were held at Irun and seven hundred at San Sebastian. Smoke from the fun eral pyres of government dead rose over Badajoz, which lies in ruins as the Rebels continued executions of the defeated defen- ders.
