PERTAINING is always something of
test. The guests must be en-
tertained. They must be made to
feel at home in surroundings that
may not be altogether familiar to
the bride herself.
Having refreshments that are
delicious and prepared with a
minimum of effort are needed.
The fruit beverages featured this
week in the Favorite Recipe
column can be made before the
arrival of the guests and served
with cookies.
For the bridge refreshments,
fruit salads with tasty salad dress
ing can be used. Angel cake is eX-

serts. The slices of cake can be
toasted and served with topping

are in loud colors, but they are
cut with individuality, and often
give the entire smartness to the
costume.
ACCESSORIES IMPORTANT
Among these smart accessories
we will find rather wide.brimmed
straw hats, often in a color that
contrasts with the costume. Cut
out hats are there too, though the
more usual types we find around
town are no longer smart. You
must do it a little differently now,
to look fashionable.
Cut-out shoes, and individual
types are worn, to enliven simple
dark costumes. Sandals and high
throated shoes still hold the spot
light when we want something I'M
usual, and when you go travelling
is no exception. Gloves have not
been so conspicuous, as they have
generally been sublimated to the
ether accessories.
The Washington times., 1937-06-25
Refreshments

When you invite guests to drop
IN any time you must have on
hand refreshments that can be
served at a moments notice. These
refreshments must be served with
the minimum of fuss.
For hot evenings, chilled beer
is very good. The sight of glasses
Of foaming beer, a tray holding
melba toast spread with creamed
liverWurst, little burr pickles, and
sailed filberts will change the
mind of those guests who first
say they cant eat a thing, my
dear"
Here is a second idea for re-
freshments. Start with olives,
radishes, sliced carrots. Then
serve toasted rye bread with as
sorted cheese spreads
The Washington times., 1937-06-25

Although this truism goes all
through clothes for men. women
and children alike, we notice it
particularly in a few spots. Travel
clothes stand out especially, for
the old conservative ideas Of "a
navy suit" or some such thing
being the only suitable travel re-
gala have given away completely
before the new cool costumes that
can have infinite smartness at the
same time.
STREET CLOTHES WORN
Perhaps travel clothes as a
class unto themselves have dis
appeared, for these days we
simply wear a good-looking street
costume for going away, whether
we go by plane, train. boat or
motor. It's been particularly no.
ticeable this summer, when every
ship that sailed out OF New York
has been loaded to capacity, that
the women were wearing so much
more attractive clothes than in
former years. Just for instance
those cool dark Sheers that we
wear so much on the street are
really ideal for travel, and SO we
find them there this year. They
will do for getting out of the har-
Dor on a hot day, even if you
have to change for something
warmer later. OF course you will
need that tailored suit, but per-
hapS not as much as you needed
it two or three years ago.
EVEN COTTONS APPEAR
Even cottons have appeared at
some smart sailings-dark cottonS
made rather we'll over matching
taffeta slips, or something of the
sort. All types of coat and dress
ensembles or dress and cape cos
tunes are particularly good, too,
as they give you chance to regu-
late the warmth of your apparel.
One thing that is quite notice
able about these travel costumes
is that while the clothes them
selves may be quiet and dark, the
accessories are apt to be gay in
tone. That don't mean that they

WEDDING GIFT

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
II have worked for a man for
five years. Last year he EN-.
plOyed an assistant, and this as
sistant is to be married this sum-
mer. 1 have not as yet met his
fiancee.
Twill it be correct to send them
a gift, and if so, what would you
suggest?
"Shall 1 send it to the apart
ment they will occupy, as they
are now furnishing it, or to her
home? "B."
Whether or not it is correct for
you to send this wedding gift de-
ponds on how well you know this
assistant. If you know him very
well, and would like to make this
generous bow, it will be quite cor.
rect for you to send gift. The
fact that you do not know his
fiancee does not make any diff.
ference-but of course the gift
must be sent to her.
The wedding gift should be
sent to the bride-to-be, in her
name, and to her present home
address. Not to the new apart
ment.
