''The main exhibit hall con-
tains three of the seven spec
toramas, indicative of Key West.
One is game fishing, another an

Of Honor

Mother As the Brides Matron
Of Honor
Dear Mrs. Post: I don't want
large wedding but do want to be
married in church and TO wear n
white satin dress and q simple
white veil. And to top 1t all, !
want to have my mother for my
wedding attendant. She thinks
this would not be suitable. I
would also like 10 have four men
friends OF my fiance for the ushers,
and would like them in the pro-
cession. I would not have any
bridesmaids OF course. IL mother
took part. because I can under
stand that young bridesmaids and
mother might not look right to-
gether.
Answer: The brides mother as
a regular wedding attendant could
not be more incorrect. The only
time when a brides mother ever
takes part in the wedding process
sion land even this is uneonven-
tional) Is when, as a widow, she
takes her husbands place. In such
a case as this there never are
bridesmaids OF course, although
sometimes there II flower girl
or a little ring bearer. In my
opinion, quite apart from the fact
that four bridesmaids and four
ushers would add much beauty to
the wedding. your mothers own
proper role should be much more
satisfying to her. She can OF
course remain with you at the
house until you are dressed; she
might even drive with you and
your father to the church. She re-
mains with you in the vestibule of
the church until you are entirely
ready to 90 up the aisle. She then
enters Immediately ahead OF you
and when she has taken her place
In the front pew, she has long
view of you coming up the aisle,
and later your face is turned to-
ward her as you and your BRIDE
groom come down the chancel
steps and start down the aisle.
Table Serving Details
Dear Mrs. Post: (a) Are finger
bowls served at breakfast and
when? tb) Also. will you tell me
which Is correct: the maid TO leave
the glass on the table while pour
ing water, or to lift 1t up off the
table?
Answer: (a) Unless fruit is TO
be eaten In the fingers. finger
bowls are not supplied at break

Table Manners
Dear Mrs. Post: I am never
quite sure just what I should do
with my napkin after I've had din
ner at a friends house. Please
tell me what is correct.
Answer: You gather the napkin
loosely together into a shape some
