DRINGING symbolism into the
ID kitchener dish towels with a
meaning, we might call this little
story. For it's about the most be-
guiling linen towels you've ever
wiped a dish on. On some Of them
o jaunty waitress struts across a
center panel. Another has tea
sets lining the border. (This one
Is sketched.) Pots and pans deco
rate either end of still another.
You can choose all three styles in
black, brown, green, gold or red,
and add that much more spice to
your kitchen duties. Even the men
will wipe dishes with less re-
Sistance if you give them such
towels-and they have fine ab-
sorbency, too, for they are of pure
Irish linen. They're the size men
like, too-plenty big. 22x30 inches.
They're SO cents each, and their
superior quality will make them
last a long time.
Musical Doorbells
IT'S not smart theSe G1yS to
1 haze a doorbeH that is harsh
that jangles your nerUes every
time it rings, and makes you al
most dread a caller. And some
thing can be done about it, for
there are musical doorbellS on
the market. Most of them tDill
operate on your present doorbeU
current, or its equivalent in dry
batteries. 1t requires but teW
minutes to install them, By Sinp-
~ remoUing your old doorbeH or
buzser, and replacing 1Dith the
chime, according to directions on
the package. They are really de-
lighttNLIy-loud and clear so that
there's no danger of not hearing
the door, or the call meals, but
the musical note is so beautiful
that you DiU not object to it at
GlI-1OW rather DeIconle the
sound. There are SeUernl styles
and models, ranging in price from
81 to $6, the latter including bells
for front and back doors, and for
dinner SerDice. You can get a
single rich tenor note, an equally
IoUely baritone note, or double
harmony of tho notes struck
simultaneously.

Dear Mrs. Fairfax:
"When 1 gave up work, two

Brides Maid of Honor Is
Usually Her Sister
By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

Dear Mrs. Beeckman
Can 1Syearold sister of the groom and 16yearold
brother the bride take part in church wedding? There
will be one bridesmaid and in the bridal party.
The Washington times., 1937-01-14

walk after the ushers and before
the maid Of honor. This would, I
think, be better than having her
walk with the maid Of honor.
If the sixteen-year-old brother
of the bride is tall, and If the
groom wishes to have him as one
of his ushers, this would be
proper.
If you know the bride very
well, and you and she have al
ready adopted an informal name
which she calls you-"Mother AL
len," for instance then you
might sign that name to the card
that you send with your gift. Il
not, you would sign your usual IN
formal signature Mary Smith
Allen, or Mary Allen. Or you
might write, ''The mother OF Tom
wishes the bride Of Tom every
happiness in the world"
