Nov that the season has come

marital ties, the fancy Of brides-to-

picture OF billowy tulle and lovely
flowers and wedding array for her.
self and her attendants that shall be
fashioned of fabrics which needs
must tune to the romance and beau
ty Of the occasion.
A highly important style mes
sage for brides-prospective is the
wide use being made this season of
airy-fairy diaphanous silk sheers
for the making of the wedding gown
as we'll as for the bridesmaid frocks
and the dresses of the little flower
girls. There is an ethereal elusive
beauty about the wedding scene that
is carried out in terms Of these love-
ly silk transparencies such as silk
marquisette, flny-as-cobweb nets,
tu1les and chiffons and silk organzas
and mousseline de soies that blend
ideally into the setting Of perfect
day in June or in later summertime.
The bride in the illustration
makes an enhancing picture in her
gown of lovely summary silk mar
quisette. Its youthful princess lines,
it's enhancement Of decorative lace
applques and it's heart-shaped de-
colletage are in the quantity beauti-
full "Gone With the Wind" tradi-
ton. The train is a spectacular
part Of the dress that reveals
through full length silk filmy net
veil with lace coronet to match the
gown. The bride carries a seed
pearl prayer book.
Silk sheers are also favored for
attendant frocks as they are smart
for many summer evenings as well
as the wedding itself.
Even the little fowergirls dress,
also of silk sheer, is selected so
that it can be worn later on for
birthday or dancing school parties.
The cunning child pictured in the
inset is clad in peach silk mar
quisette, the surplice front Of which
presents new line for children's
frocks that is both charming and
youthful. This forms ruffle that
is tied in at the high waistline with
a mauve velvet ribbon matching
the ribbon on the large pulled
sleeves.

Humility in Wisdom
Humility is the part of wisdom,
and is most becoming in men.
But let no one discourage self
reliance; it is, of all the rest, the
greatest quality of true manliness.

Dear Mr.. Lewis:
Will you please extend my greetings and best
wishes to the delegates in attendance at the Con-
vention of the Committee for Industrial Organi-
cation and my regrets at being unable to accept
your kind invitation to be present.
The wage earners of the United States have
made great progress in recent years in regard to
wages, hours of labor, general working conditions
and economic security This has been made posi-
BILE through their cooperation with other great
groups of Americans in formulating and carrying
out a progressive program to elevate labor stand
ards in the public interest. IF the great gains al
of workers we'll management, it is essential
that there be cooperation among the wage earning
groups and because of this, venture to express the
hope, as | did also to the American Federation of
Labor Convention delegates that every possible door
to access to peace and progress in the affairs Of
organized labor in the United States be left OPEN
Continued dissension only lead to loss Of
influence and prestige to all labor. On the other
hand collective bargaining will be furthered by
united labor movement making for cooperation, and
labor peace will be in the interest of all Americans
hope the Committee will have a successful
convention.
Very sincerely yours,
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.

{ W. WV
Mutterings and murmurings OF
the past week are becoming more
and more of an organized nature in
the great mill OF the West Virginia
Pulp and Paper Company at Luke
as the decision OF the management
to impose ten percent wage slash
has been made effective.
The proposed cut was first an
nounced last month by the So
called Employees Protective ASso-
citation. Whose officials are being
subjected to a tremendous barrage
OF criticism and hostility by the
disillusioned workers.
The most frequent criticism heard
is that workers OF this area who
are organized in the C. I. o. unions
have maintained their wage rates
and in some instances increased
them.
Then, the announcement OF last
week end that the railroad unions
had been victorious in their opposi-
ton to a fifteen percent proposed
cut created further discomfort
among the pulp and paper mill men.
Rising food prices and steadily
increasing commodity prices are be-
ing referred to by the workers who
feel that present price levels JUSTLY
demands for an increase rather
than being given a wage cut.
EPA Through
Wherever one goes among the
workers the resentment and diScon-
tent is openly expressed and sew
eral OF the smaller storekeepers and
business men are similarly OF the
belief that the cut is unnecessary
and unjustified.
Some Of the workers say that they
believe the move was made 70 off,
set expected calls for wages raises
which are expected to come from all
workers as soon as the trade in
crease and its further price raises
become apparent.
One thing Is certain, that in con-
versation with the workers. their
Employees Protective Association is
being roundly condemned for It's
conduct and attitude and that
whatever is the outcome or results
OF the wage cut that the "E. p. A.,
as it is called. is very definitely
through.
AS one worker adequately said:
II have paid money for lots of use
less things in my life-but this Is
the first time that have ever paid
to be given q wage cut. We always
knew the officials were company
stooges. but this is the finish for all
Of us here. Their tricks and their
baloney won't work any more.

lished a list of the salaries paid by
