THE BRIDE WEARS COLOR

Dear Mrs. Post: Is it had form
for a young woman, who had an
unfortunate marriage annulled sew
eral years ago, to wear a brides
dress and veil of white when she
marries the second time? My
daughter is still in her twenties
and as she missed having a real
wedding before, | don't want to
stand in her way this time unless
she would be laying herself open
to criticism.
Answer: She would almost GER
tainly be laying herself open to
unpleasant gossip if she wore
white wedding veil. But the white
dress would be proper if she wore
a hat instead of a veil. How
ever, since a tulle veil is very
pretty on young bride, this is
perhaps one occasion when 1t
seems especially suitable to sug-
gest a bridal dress of very pale
color with a tulle veil to match.
She would carry colored flowers,
of course, and wear no orange bios
SONS. This would give all the pic
turesqueness of the bridal array
but it couldn't be considered in
questionable taste.

NAMES FOR YOUNG
CHILDREN

Dear Mrs. Post: Should servants
call little children in the family by
title? l always thought so, but
the lady | work for has little
boy just old enough to walk and
as soon as l came here l started
calling him Master Jack and she
said just to call him Jack since he
was too young to be called by title.
Answer: According to best taste,
the servants in any house of ordi-
nary size do not begin giving the
children titles until they are four
or five years old. Servants who
have been long in the family wait
much longer In great house
meaning 20 or 80 servants-it is
customary that those of the ser
wants who are brought into little
or no personal contact with the
children address them as Miss
jamie or Master Freddy as soon as
