The Cost Of a Church wedding

Dear Mrs. Post: My mother and
I can't agree on the size of my
wedding. We aren't very well off
and I can't see why shouldn't
have simple church wedding.
Our invitation list is very long but
our church is very large. The re-
ception afterward will be just for
the immediate families and a few
of our closest friends. Mother
feels that even though having so
people at the church would cost
the same as having 500-except
for the cost Of the invitations-we
might be criticized for what some
people would think was con-
spicuous display. What do you
think, Mrs. Post?
Answer: I think It will be quite
all right to ask every one you
would like to. to the church. The
difference between a display and
a simple wedding is one OF decora-
ton. and OF an elaborate bridal
dress and many attendants. That
il, IL the whole church il expen-
sively decorated-by florist-and
II you have six or eight brides
maids, this might under the cir
cumstances be considered an I'M
suitable display. But IL the flow
ers are from your garden or from
those of your neighbors, or at
least limited to white flowers on
the altar and perhaps a few greens
thanking the chancel. and IL you
have only a maid of honor or pos
sibly two bridesmaids. the we'd
ding could not possibly be criti-
cized.

Another Opinion

Dear Miss Grey: You ought to
start a newspaper Crouch club"
because most Of us who have pet
grouches have to tell someone
about them.
Ny Crouch has to do with the
bus situation and the unreasonable
attitude Of many selfish women
who seem to feel that because
they are women that makes them
especially important. 1t Is about
time they woke up and thought Of
somone besides themselves for q
change. A sensible woman does,

Miss Lawrence's part-time glasses

Good Taste TODAY
When the Bridesmaids Are
Short and Tall

Dear Mrs. Post: My two dearest
friends are going to be my brides
maids. But they look so funny
together because of the difference
in their height that I'm afraid the
effect they will give will be
ludicrous rather than serious as it
should be. The only other at
tendants are two little flower girls
who are twins and the same size.
Since you have often written that
1t doesn't make pleasing picture
to have the bridesmaids walk in
single file, don't know just what
to do. What would you suggest?
Answer: The best solution to
your problem-if you could do so
would be to ask a third friend,
who is the same height as one of
the other two, to be bridesmaid.
Then the odd one would necessarily
walk alone followed by the two
little flower girls. If you can't
do this. think it would perhaps
be better TO have each walk alone
than to risk creating the picture
you describe.

tnouknt sucn sweet person" by
every one she meets.
II Is too bad the sweet woman
doesn't see that her day Is over,
and that the only kind OF sweet
ness that gets a hand today Is the
expression by acts. not talk, of
genuine affection and concern.
Probably the reason she doesn't
wake up to this Is because being
sweet Is the easiest thing In the
world for a woman.
All she needs Is smile and a
few pat phrases and the deter
mination never to show her hand.

Mans Opinion
Dear Miss Grey: What Is this
country coming to? There Is so
much useless criticism 1t IL no
wonder we find ourselves In an
unhappy state Of mind.
Mis- Grey. am a working man
and have often taken the bus home
from work and sometimes get a
seat and some times I do not, but
when don't 1t Is o. X. with me
and ! don't expect anyone, not
even a young high school boy or
girl. to give me a seat. I figure
as long as have two good strong
legs I can stand as well as anyone
else.
! am pretty sure the average
working man who IL strong and
healthy does not want anyone to
give him q seat. I know I don't
expect any high school girl or boy
to give me theirs. They have
been studying all day and IL they
want TO 60 down town for a little
advertisement and relaxation, 1t Is
their business. Their fare Is just
~ good as any body else's no mat

Currituck, Camden, Pasquotank,
Perquimans, Tyrren, Washington,
Hyde, Northampton, Bertie and

BODY UNIDENTIFIED

Yadkinville, August 8. The
identity Of the man found dead in
the woods one mile east of Yadkin-
vile a week ago, is still mystery
Coroner r. V. Long, Sheriff A. L.
Inscore and State Investigator Guy
Scott, have run down many clues
that might lead to identification,
but only one holds any promise
A local paper has stated its be-
lief that the body is that of a man
named Wallace McDougal, an itin-
Grant printer and engraver, who
spent few days here early in May
and said ne represented a Phila-
delphia engraving house. This, how
ever, remains uncertain, according
to officers.
