The baby bonnet of metal brO- cade would be flattering to al- most any October bride. Notice the short face veil and the waist length veil at the back. The fine braiding is of sheereSt
 tulle.
 It's year to pick rich autumn leaf greens, golds, yellows, browns and organe for bridesmaids dresses. These harmonize beauti. fully with fall bouquets of chrysanthemums, dahlias, oak leaves and such.
 Look to Finished Picture
 Every bride should plan her wedding day with one eye firmly on the finished picture" says Leonore Ormsby, American de- signer of bridal attire. Let her ask herself how this color next to that will appear from the back pew when the party is assembled about the altar, whether certain flowers will look too bulky in the maids arms, and so on. I like bridesmaids in autumn leaf and jewel tones for fall weddings. The pastel tones are best for June and summer weddings"
 This year, Miss Ormsby has

ous appointments who have to un- dergo tests of fitness or qualif1ca- tions, young men, if any nowadays, who have to obtain parental con- sent to the plans (modern parents should feel lucky if they are among the first to hear the good news), |, and many individuals subject to unusual or unreasonable fears such as acrophobia Clear of height or elevated placeS), claustrophobia (fear of closed space as an elevator, or coupe) suffer from the same sort of panic or nervousness" whether 1t is called stage fright or not. Fear of the mike is stage fright.
 Possibly certain individuals never experience any such panic in any circumstances. When I hear any one say something like that I wonder whether he has never done anything or whether he is just a liar. I believe every fairly human being is subject to stage fright and must have his or her share of 1t in the course of everyday life Some of us have 1t worse than others, that's all.
 For years have been advising sufferers from stage fright to take @ pill or tablet of one or two grains of quinine three times 8 day for two weeks prior to the ordeal. A great many sufferers have assured me that this has helped them more or less, especially students who ; have examination jitters. I recom- mend quinine because 1t dimishes reflex action by stimulating inhi- bitory centers and at the same time produces gentle sedative effect on the spinal cord and nerves. More over quinine, in doses of two. to four grains three times @ day will often prevent erho"st'o'' s''' -'' port the system" in cases where prolonged mental or pa.. /, sY.. :. is to be undergone, according to EIare's Practical Therapeutics" a textbook that has been standard for many years.
 On the other hand, I have never bothred to try this preventive against stage fright myself. Not that I am immune. But, knowing that everybody has 1t, take the view that, after all, everybody gets over 1t without very grave coiase- quences, so what's the use fussing about it. Just 90 into your song or dance and, pretty soon if you don't curl up and die before the end of the first stanza, you'll get over 1t and carry on about as well as the next fellow does.

designed several interesting bridal headdresses = some of which are amusing little baby bonnets with tulle dripping down from the back. One is a copy of child's sunbonnet with tulle yelling coming out of the peak of the bonnet and flowing to the waistline at the back.
 Another interesting contribu- tion to more beautiful weddings is Miss Ormsby's velvet prayer book from which white ribbons hang. These are knotted, and tiny lily of the valley blossoms are slipped through the knots.

LODGING TROUBLE

I HAVE had more questions on l how to overcome wetness in eel lars than on any other one subject. Questions have come from every part of the country. There IS no commoner house trouble.
 In a flood, when water runs into a cellar through the windows. it is a catastrophe that cannot be avoid ed But ordinary wetness, due only to water in the ground outside the walls or under the floor. can be kept out by adapting the construc. ton to the conditions. and with high quality materials and good work manship. Almost always. cellar wet ness can be blamed on careless ness: on poor construction; on a failure to study ground conditions and to plan the cellar according to the needs.
 Common faults are poor materl- als in the walls and poor workman ship: porous mortar joints; too lit. tie mortar in the joints; low quality concrete in poured concrete walls and carelessness in the pouring; thin concrete floors, and no provi' sions for drainage. All of these causes are avoidable. feel very strongly that a home builder should foresee them and insist on materials and workmanship that will make his cellar waterproof.
 One of the commonest mistakes is in the filling of the part of the excavation that is outside the walls This cavity is usually filled with the debris of building; chunks of con- crete and plaster, old bricks, stones. and even cutoff ends of timbers, the whole thing being covered and hidden by a layer of top soil In rain, water running down the side of the house soaks through the top lay CT and collects in the open spaces beneath. It stands in pool against the outside of the foundation walls.

RIGHT WORD
" W. Curtis Nicholson
IS IT ALWAYS TRUE?

THE following letter has been re | ceived from Charles Riegels:
 II would like to ask The Right Word question. Al different times, 1 have noticed that the col umn has told its readers that the possessive case should always pre-. cede a verbal noun. agree with this, but is it always true that construction that appears like a verbal noun construction is really verbal noun construction. I am re. ferring to something like this:
 I have read about his refusing the appointment
 Tn the light of my study of The Right Word 1 should say that the word refusing is verbal noun, and that it is the object of the prepo- sition about. It is for this reason that we use the possessive his be. fore it. But please examine the fol. lowing sentence:
 "I was watching him struggling up the incline. He looked so feeble I wanted to go to his assistance
 "In this sentence, is not him the object of watching and is not struggling only an adjective modi- flying him?
 MT. Riegels has analysed this problem very well. There is no doubt that refusing" is the object of have read" in the first sentence; and, from the underlying thought of the second illustration, it is ap. parent that Il was watching him" and noting his appearance (while he was struggling up the incline).
 MT. Riegels should have begun his letter with "I should like to ask"
