BY EMILY POST

Dear Mrs. Post: l believe you
have said that it does not seem
suitable to wear brides clothes
white and veiD when being
married at civil service. In my
case, 1 have never been married
before, but the groom has and as
my church does not recognize his
divorce, have to be married out
side of the church. We thought we
would have judge or justice of
the peace come to my house to
marry us there, and wondered in
this event if l might wear brides
clothes.
Answer: Yes, of course you may.
1t is not the fact of being mar
ried by a magistrate that makes
the wearing of the traditional
white dress and veil improper. 1t
is merely that in public build
ing, which is in no way associated
with either ecclesiastical or social
events, full bridal attire would at
tract unpleasant, conspicuous at
tention. To wear white and veil
in private house, or anywhere

WHILE HE PAYS THE CHECK

Dear Mrs. Post: When l am
having dinner in restaurant with
man, where am l supposed to
stand to wait for him while he
pays the check?
Answer: You just walk slowly
towards the door and wait, ex-
actly as you do when he goes to
the box office to buy theater
tickets.

1t might not have been so bad,
IL, in the days that followed,
Marcia had not innocently insisted
on throwing Jimmy and Linda to-
gether so much. But she wanted
her friend to have gay time, and
she wanted Jimmy beside her. too.
That meant that almost every eve-
ming there were young people IN
the living room and laughter and
gay talk. And Jimmy Cooper,
with that dazed look in his eyes.
She couldn't avoid him too
pointedly. Yet she dreaded the
moments when they found them
selves facing each other. Dreaded
even the few words they ex-
changed.
Linda was waiting for an an
swer from George. The third day
after she had mailed the letter, 1t
stin hadn't come. She was tempted
to telephone him. But he'd Won
der what had happened, and so
she kept herself from acting too
panic stricken.
That night--it was Saturday
Marcia had arranged a party at
the Officers club. Linda heard
her telling Jimmy. Don't forget
to dance with Linda. You haven't
danced with her once since she's
been here"
oh, the fool, The blind fool, A
sob rose in Linda's throat. She
stumbled blindly away. But the
porch was no sanctuary either, be-
cause 1t was here that she had
first looked up into Jimmys eyes.
The Officers club was not quite
what she had expected. Men in
uniform, girls In evening dress.
But the tables were bare, and the
decorations far simpler than those
in the night spots at home. Every
one knew everyone else. There
was much calling back and forth,
much familiar banter and teasing
laughter.
Linda was grateful for the lanky
young lieutenant Marcia had
roped in to escort her. His name
: was Peter. He, too. was a flight
instructor at the field. And he
. was much taken with her combina-

No, he wasn't brilliant. But he

NeU Bustles Need
Correct Posture

The new hustle silhouette, be-
coming more important by the
hour. demands absolutely perfect
posture. A hustle bow does not,
as you may have imagined, con-
ceal a protruding hipline at the
back or, simply by contrast. sp-
pear TO minimize the dimensions
Of the waistline.
Your hipline has TO be trim.
Your waistline must be slender.
However. before you decide TO diet
and exercise in an effort to lose a
few pounds, make sure that you
actually need to lose them. Very
often, bad posture - not excess
poundage-is the cause of a thick
look through the midriff, an ugly
hipline.
Unless you stand with your back
bone in as straight a line as pos
sible, your stomach simply won't
be fiat. Straighten out your back
bone and see how much thinner
your hips and stomach are.
POSTURE EXERCISES
ARE VERY SIMPLE
Fortunately. posture exercises
are essentially simple to do. Fur
thermore, once you have achieved
perfect carriage. the routines have
to be done only now and then
just often enough to keep your
backbone from again becoming hol-
low in the middle.
Here are directions for one of
the easiest posture routines:
Stand about foot away from
flat wall, with feet ten inches
apart. Lean backward until the
center of your backbone touches
the wall. Now press the rest of
your spinal column-except three
or four vertebrae at the base of
it-against the flat surface. At
first, you'll have difficulty straight
ening out knees and squaring your
shoulders while keeping backbone
straight. But keep on trying.
After week or so, you'll be able
to do 1t.
When you move away from the
wall, try to walk as you were
standing in, no hollow
in center of backbone, base of
spine tilted slightly upward and
forward.

There is an old saying about

The saying has been true in many
cases, but not in all. Mohammed,
for instance, was honored in Arabia
while he was alive, and has been
honored there ever since his death.
Gautama, the Buddha, lived in
India $500 years ago. Today there
are something like OO,OOO,O0O Bud

China, Japan, Ceylon and Burma,
not in India. Hardly one person in

For about 900 years Buddhism was
the leading religion, but then the

 WASHINGTON, June 7.-(Special Correspondence) - The First Lady. Mrs. Frank D. Roosevelt, wants to know Alaska better. So she told the Daily Alaska Empire correspondent at her last press conference. adding that she was glad to have a repre- sentative from the Territory.
 That Mrs. Roosevelt may have a chance to discover Alaska very soon is likely-although when question ed, she said laughingly that she didn't have the remotest idea wheth- CT Alaska would be included on the Presidents western trip. She said that she was planning to accompany the President, but otherwise making few definite plans for the summer. The visit of the King and Queen Of Great Britain put majestic finis to the official season in the capital. Whether the President and his party will get away by the middle of July as planned depends largely upon the progress of neutrality leg islation in. Congress. The Presidents s desire to lift the existing ban on arms shipments to belligerents, as proposed by Secretary of State Hull, is not pleasing to isolationists in the Senate. In fact it may end in a filibuster. The legislation is sched- uled for June Is.

 Marshal Acts

Charged with arson in connec- ton with the burning two years ago of the $100,000 fish reduction plant of the Red Bluff Bay Fisher ies, Inc, on Baranof Island, Harold E. Rice. 27, was arrested yesterday at Martinez. California, by U. s. Marshal William T. Mahoney.
 Rice, said by Assistant U. s. Att torney George w. Folta to be re- lated by marriage to the President of the Red Bluff company, will be brought back to Juneau to stand trial on the charge. a
 The young man. who was in charge of the herring fish. meal and oil plant on August 13, lo37. when the fire occurred was in dicted secretly by the Grand Jury at Ketchikan recently, Folta dis closed today.
 FBI On Case
 His arrest was the result of ex- tensive investigation into the case by insurance underwriters and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
 According to Folta, the Red Bluff company has collected $45,000 in insurance on the Red Bluff Bay property and would have collected more If all claims had been allowed.
 The fire occurred, Folta said, the day after the company had shipped out it's entire pack for the 1037 season. The big plant was almost entirely destroyed.
 Red Bluff Bay is on the east shore of Baranof Island, located on Chatham Strait about half way between Peril Strait and Port Alex ander
 Seen Laying Fire
 The United States has witness, an employee of the plant, who saw Rice break the water main leading to the plant and then saw him laying fires and pouring kerosene around the plant, according to Folta.
 We haven't got him actually striking the match, but we've got just about everything else,' Folta said.
