color scheme which is always effective
Little punches of pink roses are
fastened to the shoulders Of this
frock and there is pink velvet
ribbon sash. Pale yellow is another
good color for bridesmaid dresses like
the one we found in yellow net with
little bolero jacket and lots of ruch-
ing to make it look very fluffy. Vel
low combines beautifully with the
violet tones. Pale gray affords an
excellent contrast for colorful bou-
quets with the maid of honor wearing
q brighter color.
Those wisps Of tulle that are fash
ioned into hats for the bridesmaids
are not as expensive as you might
think. Four dollars is the average
price that we found in one shop where
they had wide selection. These may
be changed or made to order very
easily. :, as,
WHEN it comes to the selection Of
W flowers, let your florist help you.
They have lots of ideas about these
things. We have just learned that
the brides bouquet need not be en-
tirely white, but may have several
orchids tucked among the white val
ley lilies and gardenias if she so
chooses. In many bridal bouquets
two or three gardenias or orchids are
so arranged that they may be de-
tached later and worn on the travelling
suit. Bridal bouquets for the formal
church wedding range in price from
about $40 up, shower effect adding
somewhat to the cost. The less ex-
pensive bouquets are made of white
roses and lilies of the valley. Gar
denias and orchids, of course, add
greatly to the cost. Gala lilies are
very picturesque, but are not suited
to all types of brides. Bridesmaids
bouquets are from SIS and decorations
for the home may be arranged with
S25 as a minimum.
EOR the mothers of the bride and
groom lace and chiffon are the
favored fabrics. Soft rose lace in a
rather conservatively designed, long
sleeved dinner dress is selected by one
shop. A chiffon frock with lace
top in soft French blue which comes
in ankle length in half sizes is per-
feet for the short, stout figure.
A bride generally has a photograph
taken which shows her in after years
just how she looked on that happy
day. What about her lovely trous-
seau? Why should not that also be
preserved in some sort of permanent
record? A group of little sketches
about the size of post cards solve the
problem perfectly. They can be done
in ink with little touches of color
and would not only be treasure for
the bride to keep always, but would
be invaluable to send to a distant
relative who was unable to attend
the wedding. All nicely fitted into an
envelope that will also hold the we'd
ding invitation these miniature bridal
sketches would become precious pos
sessions in later years.

AS a result Of the rate, council
men announced, the average con-
sumer will realize greater benefits
from the city water system at less
cost than has been possible in the
past.
The rate schedule provides that
an additional so cents on the
monthly minimum charge will per-
NIT the resident to use double the
amount of water permitted under
the old rate. The old minimum of
81 a month permitted use of 12,500
gallons of water.
Under the new minimum of $3.50
a month residents may use $4,000
gallons of water. Additional water
over the minimum allowed is u
cents per 1000 gallons. The OLD
rate was between IA and 16 cents

said the new rate is ample, under
normal use, to supply all domestic
and irrigation needs of the average
citizen.
In letter to the water users Of
the city, Eyer said:
THE council feeis 1t has done all
it could do to aid the home owner
in the matter of rates and requests
the cooperation of citizens in plant
ing and maintaining lawns and
shrubs to the end that Ell Centro

able place in which to live.
"The water superintendent also
suggests that water consumers re-
pair leaking hydrants or fixtures
whenever discovered. A small stream
running continuously accounts for
many increases in water bills.
