but perhaps doesn't know very
well other close friends Of the
bride, to ask the bride for a list.
But care should be taken about
this kind inviting, for such a
shower, too, might look to obVl-
ouSly planned.
Yes, the clergyman should meet
all the guests at the reception.
The introductionS of the guests at
the reception should be brought
about as introductionS at any
other party would be.
That is, the guest isn't taken
about the room being introduced
to other guests, but the introduce
lions are made informally and
naturally, as the guest moves from
group to group.
The father of the bride and the
father of the groom and the
ushers circulate" among the
guests and see that introductions
are made, that guests are directed
to the receiving-line, and that they
are directed to the dining room or
to whatever the room in which
the wedding repast is being served.
If, as is usually the case, there
is a brides table, the bride and
groom sit next to each other at
the head of this table, the bride
at the groom's right. At the brides
right, the best man.
At the groom's left the maid OF
honor. Then the ushers and brides
maids, alternately, around the
table. At the parents table would
then be the brides mother, at the
head of the table, with the min
lister at her right, and the groom'S
father at her left.
Opposite the brides mother Is
the brides father, the host, and on
his right the minister's wife, If ne
has one, and on his left, the
groom'S mother.
If the tables are combined, the
bride and groom and their at
tendants sit at one end Of the
table, and the parents of the bride
and groom at the other end, with
relatives and close friends between
the groups.
The bride always cuts the first
piece of the brides cake, and
shares it with the groom. Then
she may, if she wishes, cut the
entire cake, but usually someone
else is delegated to do this.
Yes, the brides cake is served
at table. Boxes of wedding cake

on a tray near the entrance o!

Boiled Lobster

Boiled lobster served chilled with
mayonnaise or hollandaise sauce
is a luxury that cannot be included
in the budget Of the average fam
lily frequently.
However, when it is served, do
it just right. Serve it with toma.
toes and cucumber slices and q
garnish Of parsley.
In preparing the lobster, grasp
the live lobster by the back close
to the head, plunge head first
into rapidly boiling sailed water.
Boil for about minutes and SIM
mer for IS. Plunge into cold water
and cool. -
With a sharp knife, cut through
the honey shell, close to the edges
Of the hard shell back. Remove
this, then make an incision
through the center Of the length
of the tail meat to remove the in
testinal vein.
Remove the small and large
claws, cracking the latter to re.
move the sweet tender meat which
they contain. Use the small claws
as a garnish for the platter.
In serving, arrange the Holsters
on the platter, arrange slices Of
the tomato and cucumber between
each, and top with the chilled
dressing.

1.-THE finest brick architecture
in the world, typically American,
was developed in the South and
Washington in the early years OF
the nineteenth century" says Art
Director Cedric Gibbons. New
England colonial has been seen on
the screen many times, and has
been widely copied. But now we
are using true Southern colonial
architecture, and it has been the
object Of complete and minute re-
search"
Notes Collected Here
It seems that Mr.. Gibbons spent
several months in Washington, not
so long ago, visiting houses here,
and then in Maryland, Virginia
and the CarolinaS. He made notes
on the interesting homes, with the
hope Of some time using them, and
now he is making use of many of
those notes. Richmond, Annapolis
and Charleston provide many ex-
teriorS that can be copied, as does
Washington. It is the general rule,
in creating the sets, not to follow
any one house, or even the style
Of any one town, but to try to re-
capture the charm and the spirit
of the times. Actual pieces of fur
niture are copied, and even small
things like candleStickS, brass re-
Electors, locks, fixtures and Frank
lin stoves are made in the Holly
wood shops, using the originals
as models.
Inns a Problem
Inns appear so often in pic
lures, and are a rather difficult
subject. There is said to be one
still existing in Georgetown which
has furnished interiors for more
than one picture, and Gadsby'S
Tavern in Alexandria is another
source of good detail.
With the completion Of Colonial
Williamsburg, the job has become
much easier, for not only are
there thousands Of pictures avail
able, with plenty Of opportunity
for studying both the rooms and
the exteriors. but there are actual
objects for sale. You may have
seen them yourself, for they are
on display in a local store. There
is furniture, glassware, silver,
brass, even textiles. It's easy to
see that with these absolutely au-
thentic things, the creation Of
colonial settings is no such hard
lob as it was in the past.

Styles

Back again comes black satin
for early autumn town frocks. A
frock of this material has an
openwork yoke made of wheels Of
satin strips. The belt, black in
back and green crepe in front is
caught at intervals with silver
thread and long tasSelS.
The answer to the commuters
desire for a smart ensemble is a
dress of heavy pastel sheer. Belt
and collar of lowered chiffon
match the long, flyaway chiffon
coat, done in a mountain-flower
design Of delicate green and blue.
A soft breeze is a nice excuse
for carrying over your evening
frock a charming little cape Of
pale pink marabou with a border
Of pink ostrich.

"Is it proper for the person Civ
ing the shower to invite friends Of
the bride whom this person does
not know? For instance, does a
friend of the bride give a list Of
the brides acquaintance to the
person giving the shower?
"Must the pastor be introduced
to each guest separately at we'd
ding reception, and must each one
be introduced to each other? If
so, who does this?
"HOw should the guests be seated
at the table for a wedding recep-
ton? Where should the pastor
sit?
"WhO cuts the wedding cake?
To whom does the first piece of
cake go?
SIS the cake served at the table
or is each one given a piece as they
leave the reception? B."
It is not considered in good
taste for close relatives of the
bride-to-be or of the groom-to.be
to plan showers for the prospective
bride. The reason for this is OBJ
viouS-it does make the shower
look too much like a promotion"

Usually a close friend Of the
brides plans the shower for other
close friends of the bride. But it
would be all right, under certain
circumstances, for the hostess, if
she is a close friend of the bride

HE'S PERSISTENT

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'VE went together for two years,
and the first year we got along
o. K, but now all we do is argue
and quarrel. I've tried to tell him
we can't agree, and the best thing
to do is call it quits, but he can't
take hint. If 1 put this stronger.
he gets sore and tells lies about me.
"Wher 1 have company, he
drives up and down in front Of the
house, and If / go out, he tries to
follow. l want to accept dates
from other boys. He is always
here, and they never ask me.
II have q bracelet he gave me,
and when I give it back, what
shall / say? 1 don't want to hurt
his feelings, if possible.
PUZZLED"
Send back the bracelet with a
note, the tone of which should
be friendly and positive. Say that
you want to remember your friend
ship as pleasant and harmonious,
and that will not be possible if you
continue to get on each others
nerves to the extent you have of
late. Conclude by wishing him
all sorts of good luck.
Getting rid of a jealous boy
