ALPHA KAPPA
A L P H A EYE
PRESIDENCY

Louisville-(AN P)-One of the
interesting topics being discreetly
discussed in sorority circles as
Louisville prepares for the annual
Boule of the Alpha Kappa Alpha
Soority here December 81 is the
question of who is to be the new
president
Miss Ida l.. Jackson of Califor-
MIA and New York, who has serv-
ed for two years, will not be a
candidate there being general
observance of the two term rule,
so that some few of the many able,
talented and ambitious young wo-
men in the organization may be
nursing the ambition to succeed
her.
No overt compaign is being wag-
ed but few names have been
mentioned Among these are Mrs.
Margaret Davis Bowen of New
Orleans who has served for sever
al years as a national officer and
/ sknown as a dynamic and eff
cient personality; DR.. Dorothy
Boulding Ferebee who has just
conducted an outstanding educa-
tional and health project in
Mississippi which brought plaudits
to the sorority and Lucille Robin
son wilkins of Chicago, another
outstanding soror.
The fact that the Boule is being
held in the south this year is eX-
pected To give that section some
thing of an advantage in selection.
Each graduate member has the
privilege of a vote and the easy
proximity of Louisville will doubt
lessly bring large delegations from
nearby states.
Other offices are as eagerly
sought. The editorship of The Ivy
Leaf, the official organ of the
body, which has been held in
superb fashion by Mrs. Althea
Simmons of Chicago for the past
two years, is a coveted post. Mrs.
Simmons has announced her inten-
tion to retire now that she has
added to the circulation as we'll as
the literary excellence of the
magazine, but whether she will be
permitted to do so is another
question. All in all the Louisville
session promises to be pregnant
with interest.

Some of our elders and writer's
have already remarked that too
many of us are prone to regard the
Christmas season more as a vaca-
ton fom school and tremendous
round of parties than as poignant
nostalgia time for candles in win
dows and creches on the mantel.
Tradition should have it's day at
Christmas time, if at no other. The
bumptious Santa Claus-stocking
hanging-turkey and cranberry
sauce traditions and those more
solemn and reverent. Do not for
get to try and make some one less
fortunate than you happy. Then we
can truly say it'll be a merry
Christmas for all. 49,.

should be chosen to walk with him. A pair of
junior ushers of almost any size wear dark
suits, if seven or under. Sometimes it is neCes-
sary that junior usher walk with junior
bridesmaid This, however, should be avoided,
because his dark suit next to light dress is
too suggestive of bridesmaids and ushers
walking together.
The reason it is bad form to let the best
man come down the aisle with the maid of
honor after the ceremony is that the impress
sion is given of double wedding and detracts
from the bride and groom, who should be the
figures of central interest At occasional we'd
dings, sometimes even at one that has been
we'll rehearsed, one usher unthinkingly offers
his arm (or perhaps intentionally?) to
bridesmaid and starts down the aisle. All the
others have no choice but to follow suit.
Other details obviously unsuitable include
bride in dress of silver brocade with three
yards of train trailing behind her, point
lace veil and a diadem of diamonds and the
bridegroom and his ushers in business suits!
Also unsuitable is bride in travelling dress
against the background of decorated church,
choral service and bridesmaids! The latter
would have to wear street clothes too.
At very small wedding it is. of course,
proper that bride wear whatever type of
dress she chooses. But if she wears travelling
suit, she should certainly not have any
attendants - unless a child is given the
pleasure of taking part. If she wears more
effectively bridelike dress, she might have two
attendants very simply dressed.
A woman who marries for the second time
may properly have (unless she wears strictly
tailored street clothes) maid or matron
of honor wearing clothes similar to her own.
If she is very young, it is in exceptional
instances permitted that she have two attend
ants, but this is really taking step beyond

(which wedding

IT is true that we do in the present day
speak constantly of an informal wedding
which, since the marriage ceremony is
J. solemn church sacrament and the word
informal means literally lacking in cere-
mony does not seem to make sense. What
we really mean, of course, is that the prepara-
tior made for the setting of the formal cere-
mony of the marriage itself, and the breakfast
or reception which. takes place after the
ceremony, can be very formal in character or,
on the contrary, as simple and informal as
one may please.
But since countless brides-to-be ask me
about changing formal exactions which can't
be changed, while others suppose they must
follow details which have no importance at
ALL think it might perhaps be useful to try
to separate the actually formal details,
which are immutable, from those which are
fairly flexible
To begin with, every detail of the marriage
ceremony is obviously Interchangeable. At every
correctly conducted church wedding the
clergyman stands in the center of the chancel.
The groom waits for the bride at the right
side of the chancel steps, with his best man
beside him. The bride enters the church on
the right arm of her father. At the chancel
steps she gives her right hand to the bride
groom and he draws her hand through his left
arm and together they stand in front of the
clergyman - the bride on the bridegroom's
left during the ceremony, after which they
turn and walk down the aisle, she on his right
arm.
The variations of these details are equally
prescribed: If the bride has no father, she may
walk with her brother or her uncle or an old
family friend Or she may walk alone But it is
absolutely incorrect that the bride enter the
church and walk to the altar with the groom.
Of course, if they are merely going to be
married in the presence of two or three wit
nesses, so that they all meet in the vestry and
then 60 into the church for the ceremony
Evening star., 1936-04-12

instead of having it performed in the clergy
mans study, the clergyman would lead the
way into the church. He would be followed
by the bride and groom who would be fol-
lowed in turn by the two or three witnesses.
But this, it must be remembered, is getting
married without wedding.
It's very unusual but not unheard of at the
small and simple wedding of bride whose
father has died, that her mother walk up
the aisle with her in her fathers place. But
this would be in very bad taste if her father
were living and divorced, since it would
publicly proclaim his unfitness to exercise his
natural right to give his daughter in mar
riage. To air publicly any disturbance in
ones private life is in bad taste, and doubly
unforgivable should the reputation of the
father be unjust.
have been asked several times whether
a mother may be matron of honor; sometimes
a sister fifteen years older than the bride
wants to be bridesmaid. 1t does not seem
necessary to say that the first is impossible,
and the second very unsuitable. On the other
hand, it is not at all out of the way for a
young father to be his sons best man. Some
times, too, a stepfather is best man. But the
rule of safety in making arrangements for
wedding is, be conventional.
Wrong details, which are important to
avoid, include: An usher whose clothes do not
match those of the other ushers. This really
must not be! An odd usher walking alone in
the procession is also very bad If one gives
out and the groom does not fill his place, the
odd one may of course usher people to their
places in church, and then instead of taking
his place in the procession alone, he merely
stands somewhere among the guests.
A junior usher should, if possible, walk
with the shortest grown usher. If he is too
young for this, then second junior usher

the farthest bounds of formal convention.
The widow or Divorce who wears a white
wedding dress and bridal veil certainly af-
fronts every precept of good taste, whether
she does so deliberately or unwittingly. Her
gesture, scarcely admirable no matter what
her motive, is to make a mockery of the
emblems of bridal purity.
There are possible exceptions such as
one of which knew where the bridegroom
was killed in motor accident on their way to
the station to start off on their honeymoon.
She married several years later and wore a
bridal dress.
At second wedding bride may perfectly
we'll wear white - but a hat must replace the
veil and gardenias or other flowers must take
the place of orange blossoms.
Among the details of utmost importance
are those which prescribe the wording of en-
graved invitations and announcements, be-
cause engraving is necessarily formal and
church ceremony doubly so. On the other
hand, there is no especially prescribed word
ing of note of invitation written in the
second person by the bride or her mother, and
no rule at all about what to serve at the re-
ception further than that there should be
wedding cake and something in which to drink
the health of the bride and groom.
AS last comment should like to quote
something that once wrote in this column.
and the importance of which can not be over
drawn: THE inclusion of the names of both
parents who have been divorced, on the
wedding invitations of their daughter is
shocking We may know these parents were
divorced and again married. But to have
our attention called to their shattered and
rehashed pledges, upon the same sheet of
paper that calls upon us to witness the
solemn taking of these plainly breakable
pledges by their daughter, would not seem
to be giving the latter's marriage a fair
chance at the start"

mediate hopes of disproving the
charges against him. He was al
lowed to read the papers, but VIVA,
he read appalled, him. 1t was con-
ceivable, of course, that his mother
had actually witnessed the killing:
as she maintained, and had told him
nothing about it-she was eccen-
trio; there was no telling what she
might do or how she was likely to
behave under the influence of liquor
but he strongly doubted this and
chung to the conviction that she
would confess to a wild and mag
NATIVE romance or that somebody
would prove her story to be, in
part, at least, the fanciful creation
of an alcoholic brain. But Would
she confess?How could she bring
herself to do so? Granting that~she
now realized where the truth of her
story ended and imagination began,
an assumption which, by the way,
was not likely, was her love for
him sufficient to warrant humilia-
ton? Moreover, could she undo the
wrong sic had done, even if she
tried? These were questions Gerald
could not answer. AS a matter of
fact, he did not try very hard to
answer them, for something more
important than his own welfare
weighed him down and rendered
him apathetic-it was the misfor-
tune hat had befallen Hazal. From
what he read in the newspapers it
seemed to him hat he was the only
person in the world who believed
in her. The poor girl must be suf-
fering more keenly than he. Hers
was the greater tragedy.
Gerald was surprised on Monday
to receive a visit from two lawyers,
members of the leading local firm,
and to learn that they had been re-
tanned as his counsel. He assumed,
of rourse, that his mother had sent
them and he took cheer from that
fact, but Sc gained little comfort
out of talking with them aside
from the realization that some one
stood beside him.
