Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"At the close of the school term

1 was vice president. The presi-

given in appreciation Of the work

81 would like to thank the rest
of the officers and members, but
will not be able to go to the first

write a note of thanks, and to
whom should it be sent? "K."
You would write to, and send
your note to, the president of the
association. And it might read
something like this:
Dear Mrs. York:
"May 1 thank you, and through
you the other officers and the
members of our Parents and
Teachers Association, for their
fine and generous thought of me,

WIFE WONDERS
Dear Miss Fairfax:


"The man 1 married is 20 years
older than I, but / loved him
dearly, and he seemed to return
my affection fully. He asked my
permission to have an old friend
make us a short visit and I con-
Sented.
"This old friend proved to be a
lady and arrived with a trunk and
q proprietary air over my husband.
Much to his embarrassment, she
would stop talking when 1 came
into the room. She would ignore
me, and acted as if my home be-
lOnged to her.

weeks, and when asked my hus-
band how long she was going to
remain, he seemed embarrassed
and said he didn't know. AS do

N OTHING is more genuinely

than nice fresh playing cards.
And so gift sets of cards
should be considered for many
places on your Christmas list.
You can find stunning sets
downtown of beautiful cards
with score pads to match,
some with table covers to
match too, and all mono
grammed. For instance, you
can get two decks Of cards
and two score cards, mono
grammed and nicely boxed for
$3.50. For $3.50 you can get
four decks and two score pads,
again monogrammed. Then
there's a de luxe set that is
most appealing, a suede-finish
table cover, II books of
matches, four decks of cards
and two spore pads, all for 81.
They are smart looking and
have a fleur de lis decoration
that is simple but attractive.
Such a gift package would de-
light the heart of any woman,
or of bachelor if he keeps
house.

BRIDAL PLANS

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"What is the name of the room
in the church where the bride and
her attendants wait until the pro-
cessiOn begins?
eff the bride has no male rela-
tive to give her away, may this
honor be given to a relative Of the
groom? Say, an uncle?
Does this person walk to the
left of the bride in the process
siOn?" "B."
The bride and her bridesmaids
form the procession in the vesti-
bule of the church. When the en-
tire wedding party reaches the
church, the doors between the
vestibule and the church are
closed.
In the meantime (about Is
minutes before the wedding hour)
the groom and his best man drive
to the church together and enter
the side door which leads to the
vestry.
1ney wall Cnere, or IN CQe clergy
mans study, until the sexton or
an usher comes to inform them
that the bride has arrived at the
entrance of the church.
It would not be good form, be-
cause not consistent, for a rela-
tive Of the groom to give the bride
in marriage. If the bride has no
male relative, there will probably
be some man friend Of the family.
Then, if she wishes, her mother
might, at the appropriate time in
the ceremony, step from her seat
in the first pew at the left of the
aisle, and present her in marriage.
Yes.

seeing him then.

with soldier and gun. It's a wind

up, it darts here and there about
the floor, turning for counter at

periods, the soldier in the tank
raises the hood which protects
him, emerges a little way and
shoots off his rifle. It's all very
exciting, and is apparently as
much fun for grown-up boys as it
is for little fellows. It comes done

teresting to say about women,
This Smithsonian Institution
scientist says:
"WOmen are trying to find
happiness in a blind alley. They
are working today because they
envy the ability of employed
women to buy their own clothes.
They believe it is exciting to get
away from home and be financi-
ally free.
1--WE are concerned about the
women themselves; in. their
search for happiness they are
demoralizing themselves. Woman
is not seeking truth. She is not
being normal. She will soon be
like the butterfly with all the
brilliant color rubbed Off"
ANOTHER VIEW
On the other hand, Naomi
Mitchison, who is one Of the
foremost English novelists, the
mother of five children, an ar.
chaeologist of note and member
Of an English family of title,
takes quite another view of this
question.
Mrs. Mitchison believes in very
early marriage for women-about
II or 18 for girls, and boys not
much older. She thinks the state
should see to this. (The howls
would probably be louder than
over the old-age pensions) In
early youth. Mrs. Mitchison says:
Mature is calling them. But
in the present condition of things,
they cannot answer the call"
Her idea is that people should
marry when they are physically
strongest, lead the life of the
body with their young mates,
bearing and nursing children
without economical fear"-and
later, women would be ripe to
enter the professions.
RE-EDUCATION
Mrs. Mitchison, in an article
from THE Passing Show" pub
lished in London, says that two
years of re-education. after a wo-
man has had her children. would
be equal to four years of ado
lescent university.
Mothers would then be free to
start their next phase of life: pro-
feSsions would be arranged for
their entrance at a high degree
of professional ability. This age
she places at about IS.
"There would be holidays, and
then what meetings there would
be between such mothers and
their children! What inspira-
ton; what deep and funda-
mental things to talk and plan.
1t would alter everything; it
would make a new outlook be-
tween men and women, a new
kind of respect.
at would save the intelligent
woman from the terrible strain of
keeping between her work and
this other life that is the way of
nature; instead, she would be
given a pattern of existence in
which both things are possible,
and both have honor"
EFFECT ON CHILDREN
On the part Of the children,
there would be no more poor old
mummy" who has to be looked
after possibly, and quite often lied
to; instead, there would be some
one to look forward intensely to
Seeing-someone who could be
really talked to, and would really
help her children to grow up.
I wonder what my readers, es-
pecially young readers, think Of
this suggested arrangement. Do
they think that marriage at 16 or
II would be the solution of this
terrifically difficult problem Of the
emotions today?
And do they think if women
began their real education at 80
or so, and were prepared to go into
business or the professions at IS,
that it would be a better economic
solution than is the present one?
shall be very glad to hear what
the readers of this column have
to say on the subject. The best

pit would be advisable to make it

the answer iS-what do you think?
No one has had more experience in
wearing the different shades Of
hair than you yourself, and with
the alarming results of losing all
your hair. You must be the judge
as to whether or not it should be
subjected to a platinum bleach.
1t is hardly likely that you are
going to lose all your hair, pro-
vided you have done nothing more
than use all of the dyes and
bleaches. It may destroy all the
hair, but with some care the roots
should function and produce a
new growth. Massage the head
carefully, and I would advise you
to go to some one who understands
the hair and can give it the recon-
ditioning it needs. You may de-
eide to bleach the first new
sprouts, so let some one else take
charge of it.
