bride to wear white and a veil, but
both should. of course. be very simple.
The father of the bride is usually
much concerned about his clothes.
If the groom and his attendants are
wearing formal clothes, then her
father should if possible do the same.
But it is not necessary that he match
them precisely. The ushers. on the
other hand. must be as much alike
as a company of soldiers. In un-
matching clothes. they would look
more like a ragged collection of raw
recruits.
The bridesmaids clothes are identi

and her position among them is de-

she is maid of honor is made clear
because she leaves her place among

bouquets of the bride and her brides
maids are all part of the wedding
decorations, and the bouquet from
the groom is the small cOrsage SHIT
wears when she goes away with HIM
An occasional suggestion that the
bride give the bridegroom some OF the
flowers from her bouquet for his but
tonhole is a pretty sentiment, but not
very practical, since according to
tradition (superstition the groom
should not see his bride on their
wedding day, until she comes up the
aisle to meet him. According to fash
ionable usage. the bridegroom orders
his own boutonniere of the florist, as
we'll as those for his ushers.
The size of the brides bouquet,
and the flowers of which it is made,
depend entirely upon her own taste.
Perhaps she likes a very large bouquet
so that she is half hidden behind it.
Or perhaps she carries prayer book
with few flowers with ribbon stream
ers. Bridesmaids usually carry sheaves
on their outside arm. Small, stiff
bouquets are very pretty with 1880
dresses, and baskets can be lovely

Pr YOU are to be married in early
June. your wedding plans have.
u Of course, been made. But even
so, you may find few of the follow
ing paragraphs useful as a check, or
possibly as warning against some
eccentricity of fashion that is con-
trary to the tenets of good taste.
Fashion may even, at any moment,
suggest that a bride wear white satin
shorts! The not unheard of sight OF a
brides bare toes makes the idea of
shorts almost imaginable!
Please then. to begin with. No
visible toenalls in church. (Conven-
tionally, not even fingernails are un-
covered) Another fragrant impro-
priety is the use of colored flowers by
a maiden bride. The pure whiteness
of bridal attire. the myrtle wreath in
Europe, the coronet or other trimming
of orange blossoms here in America,
the cloud-like whiteness of bridal
veil, are unalterably the symbol of
purity. This point of view. which has
been held for generations. makes any
alien splashing of colored flowers
on the white of bridal attire in very
questionable taste.
But let US turn from the ugly to the
lovely in present fashion: Bridal
dresses of thin materials - starched
lace, organza, maIQuisette - with
wells of tulle, either short or long, are
particularly suitable for a summer
wedding. One detail that has often
impressed me is that, when a bride is
outstandingly beautiful in her wedding
clothes, she has almost without ex-
ception worn very small head trim
ming which has not disguised the
outline of her head. The tulle OF her
veil beginning to fare at about the
level of her eyes is always good. When
the veil punches out on the top OF the
head it looks very much as though
window curtain had fallen on her.
Whether your veil is to be long, or
short, or medium depends. of course.
upon the style of dress you choose.
The fashion for little 1880 hat, made
OF lace or of tulle, edged with orange
blossoms, or little stiff brim OF either
satin or of net, demands tIainless
dress. 1t is best if the veil reaches no
more than to the shoulder blades. or
possibly to the elbows. A very long
train dress, on the other hand, should
have a veil the length of the train.
Ideally, the length of the train should
be in keeping with the size of the
church. If you are to be married in
cathedral, a much longer train would
be necessary than if you are married
in little parish chapel, or in your
own house.
A few years ago, at wedding that
had been carefully rehearsed, the best
man forgot the rehearsal instructions
completely Instead of waiting and
following the clergyman back to the
vestry, he saw only that the bride and
groom were starting down the aisle,
and that he was face to face with the
maid of honor. Unthinking. he offered
her his arm. Thereupon, the ushers
followed suit and offered their arms
to the bridesmaids. Down they all
went, looking exactly like a chorus
number in a musical revue. Many

floors would house offices OF the
welfare department.
Davis pointed out that the lease
on the building occupied By the
welfare department at ele Market
ST. has expired. and that owners
Of the building are not DESTROYS OF
entering into renewal for a
period Of years.
Saving of $3.50
The auditor explained that by
building a new structure across
from the courthouse. the county
would save approximately $3.50
annually. which includes deduction
of some 81. 800 yearly interest on
emergency warrants that would
be issued to finance construction
Of the building.
Itemizing the savings. Davis
said the new building would elm
mate $4,000 annually for storage
Of voting machines, $1,000 annu-
ally for heat in present quarters
of the welfare department. $500
yearly for electricity, 500 on
janitor services now required at
welfare headquarters, $3.50 annu-
ally for moving OF voting ma
chimes, and 5000 yearly for incl
dentals.
Davis said the welfare depart
ment had been forced to move
every two years at an estimated
cost Of mot less than 81 500"

and representing the taxation bu-

piled:
You'll not get a county-city

up TO the taxpayers to say wheth-
er the money should be expended
for such a structure and, II it
is put to vote of the people, it
would be turned down II you
don't know that, l do"
Shaffer suggested that the COM
missioners wait 90 days before
making decision on the proposal
to construct the county building.
"In 90 days the chambers COM
mittee will make a definite report
on the county-city building pro-
posal," Shaffer said.
Commissioners agreed to wait
90 days before going ahead with
plans for the welfare building.

with their proposal to build two
story concrete structure across

This was the agreement reached
late Monday afternoon following
a lengthy conference between the
commissioners, members of the
Pierce County Taxation bureau
asd newly-appointed members OF
the advisory board TO assist in ad-
ministration of county welfare.
Ralph Shaffer. chairman Of the
chambers county city building
committee, told the group that as
soon as the organizations mem
bership drive is completed. efforts
will go forward on the proposal
to construct building which
would house both city and county
offices.
Two Proposals
Shaffer said the committee had
two plans in mind at present:
ID To remodel both the city
hall and the courthouse and allow
offices to remain III the structures.
t2) To construct a modern
building in a central location to
house offices of both governmental
agencies.
Shaffer said the committee will
require 100 days before it is
ready to make a recommendation
on either of the two proposals.
County Auditor S. Clifford Da-
Wis, who has advocated construc-
ton of new building across from
the courthouse facing So. G St,
on property owned by the county,
between the Central Lutheran
church and county detention home,
said cost of such a structure would
not exceed $4,000.
Concrete Structure
He presented plans and estimat-
ed cost of the structure, which
would have a basement and two
upper stories. The building would
be of concrete, would have a
frontage of so feet, the depth rum
ming 120 feet. with an L addition
behind the detention home ex-
tending 25 feet.

Hsinking, Manchoukuo, July 20
(AP)-Japanese readiness to nego-

golia conflict was indicated today in
authoritative quarters.
The suggestion was put forward
by the newspaper Manchu. (All
newspapers in Manchoukuo are
strictly controlled by the govern
ment, which is controlled by the
japanese army.) Other informed
sources expressed the belief the Jap
anese would be willing to negotiate
if Russia took the first step.
It was indicated that any such
negotiations would be held in Tokyo
or Moscow and be directly between
the two great powers concerned
Japan and Russia-and not their
protectorates, respectively Manchou-
kuo and Outer Mongolia.
The conflict, nominally between
the two protectorates, has produced

Raleigh, July 20.-William H. Jor-
dan, of Efland, only formally an
nounced candidate for governor, who
seeks that office by way of the Re-
publican primary next summer, can
not possibly have any real hope OF
success. And that raises the question
among capital political observers as
to whether Brother Jordan is really
sincere in his campaigning.
First blast from the tiny home
town of the candidate has to do with
condemnation of the ABC store sys-
tenn in the 27 counties of the State
which have voted to legalize the sale
of fire-water to the thirsty populace.:
Mr.. Jordan doesn't like the idea at
all. He says it was conceived in the
mind of the devil and inaugurated
by the aid of his imps. Since liquor
is likely to be an issue of some sort
in any State campaign, capital OBJ
servers wonder if the Jordan TRADE
isn't a sort of trial balloon for some
Democratic prospective candidate.
