1t isn't strictly necessary to
have a bridal table. but it is a
charming and graceful thing to
have one. And it makes the oc-

At the bridal table, side by
side at the head of the table,
sit the bride and groom, the
bride at the right of the groom.
At the right of the bride sits
the best man, and at the left
of the groom sits the maid of
honor. The four ushers would
be at this table.
The wives of the three ushers
who are married would be in
vited to sit at this table. Then
to make an even number of
girls and men, you would need
one more girl, and she might be
a sister or cousin of the bride,
or the bride might ask the un-
married usher for his suggestion
for a girl for this place.

The brides cake is customarily
the centerpiece of the bridal table.
This is the cake that the bride
cuts toward the end of the supper
Usually a piece of the cake is
served to each guest. and this cake
accompanies the ice cream.
The bridal table may be all
white, but usually nowadays there
is some pastel shade, a delicate
accent to the white. This pastel
pink or yellow, used as an artistic
shade, may be used in the decora-
tion or lettering on the cake, and
also in the flowers.
You may have a pair of vases
thanking the cake, and in these
vases, white and pink or yellow
flowers. Or these flowers may be
laid on a central decoration down
the table.
The table should be lighted by
candles, preferably white. Use a
white table cloth as background
for this decoration.

In both cases there we're argu-
ments and Squabbles in the begin
ming, because the young people
concerned saw no immediate
prospect of marriage. Then they
decided on a little long g-diStance
building of that home not yet in
sight and, once they set out for
this goal, arguments and conten'
tion ceased.
The girl in this latest case was
clever enough not to demand an
expensive engagement ring. In
stead she had the boy put his
money in a down-payment on a
house.
MANY MEMORIES
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"The girl who signed her letter
Happy and COntended' brought
back many memories to me.
Il was II and he % when we
first met and fell in love. was
still in high school, and he already
had been working two years since
graduating from college.
1--WE were almost constantly to-
gether and wanted so much to be
married. But his family obliga-
tiOns were heavy, because his
parents were old and struggling
along.
Il also had to finish school,
which was the least / could do to
satisfy the wishes of my lovely
parents. We thought of secret
marriage, but knew it really wasn't
fair to either of our families.
$50 we waited, and quarrelled.
and nearly broke up, until l
graduated and started to work.
That gave me sOmathing else to
think about besides US
"a few months later 1 had my
choice between a dOwn-payment
on little home, or an engage
ment ring. Being a home lover, 1
chose the former. Then my fl
ance rented the house, and the
rent money helped to pay in
tereSt, taxes, etc.
Our petty quarrelling then
ended entirely, for we had a goal
something to look forward to
and our troubles disappeared as if
by magic.
about a year later, we had
lovely wedding and moved into
our own home. This was three
and a half years after we first
met. Against his wishes, l kept
on working for the first year of
our marriage, to get a good start
financially.
1--WE have now been married
five years. and have a lovely 2
year-OId daughter. Our home is
so full of love and happiness it
really should be quarantined for
the preservation of How to be
happy, though married.
II surely wish all couples, who
fall in love. could work out their
problems as successfully as we
were able to do, and also keep
the love of their families as we
have done.

INVITATION

Dear MrS. beeCkman:
What is the proper way to in
vite a young man to party? 1t
is necessary that 1 write to him
because he lives in another town.
"Since he has no car, would 1t
be proper for me to arrange the
transportation to and from the
party?
How would the invitations to
my guests read? 1t is to be a
birthday party. r.
Your note of invitation might
read:
Dear Tommy,
I'D like so very much to have
you come to my birthday party,
at my home, on Tuesday, the first
of February, at about 9 O'Clock.
l hope you'll say yes It's to be
an informal party. and hope
that it will be a pleasant one. Any
way it will get off to a good start
toward being happy party If you
can come!
BEST wishes.
Cordially"
1t won't be especially necessary
for you to make transportation
arrangements. But if you know
someone with a car who is coming
to your party from his town, it
would be gracious for you to ask
that friend to give this young man
a lift They will be delighted and
he will be grateful.
Your note of invitation to your
other guests would read about the
same as your invitation to this
young man. If you don't wish to
mention the fact that it is your

able to boast Of.
Because it does have versatile
use and is a favorite budget food
in many households, the event Of
national rice week beginning to-
day is of interest to many house
wives.
The fact that Lent starts this
week is another reason for its
ability to hold the spotlight. For
menus that are restricted, rice
comes to the fore to provide the
needed calories and nourishment.
Delicious fluffy rice may be served
with many Lenten dishes.
A creamy hot mushroom sauce
or curry sauce with rice, a caSse-
role dish made with rice and nuts,
dates, cheese, or fish are all easy
to prepare and very filling.
Here are some rice recipes that
will be delicious to serve this week.
The rice Souffle with Goldfish is a
New England speciality that for
years has formed the main dinner
dish in seacoaSt homes on winter
evenings. 1t can be prepared from
the canned variety Of Goldfish.

however. that a large and rep

Most of them are ndttUe and haze

Every teD years q net0 glaze comes
out, an entirely original creation

type pottery different from any

equally Ddried and unusual. For

somewhat limited, but notO almost

them are grand indeed.
Many prizes haze been Don BY
this American pottery, not only at
the big eTpoSitionS in this coun-
try, but in foreign countries too,
and many European museums haze
purchased examples for display.
You can buy them for your oUn
home, and at almost any price you

pieces are not erpenSiUe at all. but
a fine glaze that is really rare is
naturally high priced.

from the simplest urnS and vases
to figures and heads. They are all
distinctly original both in design
and coloring, and all are marked
with the special mark of the pot

originality and great creative
ability in their work.
