Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Much Better to Remain Single
Than to Marry Without Love

find a never-ending Joy in serving
each other, in ministering to each
other, and they see each others
faults through a tender humor
that makes them love Mary's or
Johns little pecularities just be-
cause they are Mary's and Johns,
It takes affection, and lot of It,
to softpad marriage.
No doubt there are plenty OF
men who marry women of whom
they are already tired and for
whom they have lost every parti-
Gle Of love because they have been
keeping company" as the common
expression goes, for years, and be-
cause the girl expects 1t and every
body in their little circle expects
it and they haven't the courage to
break of the engagement.
The man can steel himself to 60
through with the marriage cere-
mony and perhaps wear the smile
of happy bridegroom, but no man
has the power to go on through
a lifetime of making believe that
he loves the wife he hates, because
he never looks at her without think
ing that his life was sacrificed to
her and that without her he would
be free and happy.
The cruelest thing that any man
can do is to marry the woman he
has ceased to love. So I say that
he should not 60 on with it, even
if he is on the very steps Of the
altar. And, as for the man who
breaks of his engagement, under
such conditions, there can be moth
ing but praise from all intelligent
people. He has saved two people
from lifelong wretchedness.

Informal Wedding
Implies Simple
Arrangements
By EMILY POST.

The word informal can never be
applied to the wedding ceremony.
The vows taken before a clergyman
are always the same. But when the
detailed preparations for particu-
lar wedding are very simple, this
wedding then is commonly called
informal.
To the young woman who asks me,
Does having an informal wedding
mean that I can't wear a white
brides dress and veil?" let me ex-
plain further that a simple (or
Informal if you prefer wedding
does not necessarily mean that the
bride is not wearing a bridal dress.
Her dress, however, would be simple
in style and her Wedding veil of
plain tulle. She would have no
more than two bridesmaids and a
maid Of honor, and their clothes
should, of course, be simple in
effect. There would probably be
two ushers wearing the least formal
conventional dress for the hour of
the day-this depending upon the
formality of the community. The
church would be decorated with
garden flowers. It also usually
means a wedding list limited to
friends and relatives, and 1t gener-
ally means no engraved invitations.

Dear Mrs. Post: Please explain
how to properly eat Boston brown
bread. Should this be eaten with
fork or broken in pieces and
buttered and eaten in the fingers?
If eaten with a. fork, shouldn't it
be put on the meat plate instead Of
the bread and butter plate?
Answer-1t is put on the bread
and butter plate and broken in the
fingers and then small pieces but
tered, just as any other bread is
eaten. But when it is served
toasted and literally buttered, 1t
shares with a toasted buttered Eng
lish muffin in being one Of the
hardest items of food to eat neatly.
The best thing to do then is to
hold it in your left hand on the
edge of your plate while you cut 1t
in small pieces with knife so that
it can be easily eaten.

costume. Brown, however, Is being
highly praised in many fashion
fields, and especially mentioned in
shoes and furs. We don't like to
make a noise like a pessimist, but
that's what they've been telling us
for years. We'd like to see brown
outrun black. But we don't think
1t can do it.
The dress silhouette will undoubt-
edly turn toward Simmer,
straighter line and corsets and
other foundation garments will be
partners in the crime, if you can
call it that. There will be much
less of the nipped-in waistline effect
and more of tapering, longer line
with the raised bustline, fiat tummy
and pared off hips giving you the
key to the seasons demands on your
figure.
Hats are evidently going to cover
the back of your head and leave
the front free to show your pompa-
dour coiffure. Bonnets and caps
look very favorable in the popu-
1arity poll with wells seen frequently
and just as frequently matching the
hat, no matter what the color.
Novelty heels seem as though
they are going to take the place
of wedges, although we wouldn't
bet on it. At any rate. the stores
are ordering modified heels, often
in unusual shapes, which offer the
support of wedges and the high
fashion value of a distinct heel.
Women found wedges too comfort
able to abandon entirely, but we
have an idea that they will use
them for sport and adopt slightly

glorified versions for street and
dress occasions.
And as for clearance sales-well,
don't tell the merchants we told
you, but we think they are mighty
generous to offer summer mer.
chandise at the present prices
Mighty generous. Anyway, we've
lived in Washington long enough to
know that there are going to be
some mighty hot days ahead, days
when you'll not be able to stand
the sight of anything but light
clothes and cool ones at that. So,
if we were you we'd take advantage
of the fabulous reductions available
at the moment. And we'd buy
classic things such as shirtwaist
dresses and good pumps that will
be equally as good next season.
We'd snap at the values in play
togs, too. There are slacks that
cost only about half as much as
they did at the beginning of the
season, and from now on you can
buy the most marvellous swim suits
at moderate prices.
This is very strange selling
season for fashion. Many women
will buy fall clothes now and wear
them here and in the north, but
we still can't approve of this busi-
ness of rushing the season as
though 1t were not going to wait
for us to catch up with it. It's
a little discouraging to want some-
thing new and snappy in the way
of a summer frock and find only
sale clothes and those too often
picked over" Or are we being
unreasonable?

So just keep in mind that radical

bicycling, hunting and others en-

Transparent belts and suspenders
make q modern gift set for a

set looks white, but If worn over a
color It takes on the color. This
material has glass-like appearance

The bakelite card holders are
nice for men or women, and will
keep calling cards and business
cards clean. Only one card comes
out at a time, avoiding finger
marks. These cases may be had in
black, white or any pastel shade.
A magnifying glass wide enough
to cover two columns Of news type
and one average paragraph, should
certainly be a boon to the person
who is near-sighted and doesn't al.
ways have his glasses handy.
Book-ends, decorated with designs
in blond wood, are attractive for
your sons room. -.
For the bungalow use table mats
and napkins of a heavy basket
weave, which may be had in peach,
blue or green. These will give a
dash of color to your dining room.
Swedish liquer decanters of smoked
glass are unusual and a must" for
the modern apartment. ....
Something different in the way
Of cigaret boxes is the iridescent
glass turtle shaped box with minia-
ture ash trays to match. 49,.
A stunning vase of Belgian cased
glass to bring out the brown and
gold in your living room comes in
an unusual combination of topaz
and prune. ....
The perfect gift for the man
who must do a lot of travelling is
the leather bag made of cowhide,
with a zippered triangular compart-
ment on the outside for the fitted
toilet articles; they are a part of
the case but not in the way. -.
Those who like an Oriental touch
in their decorative scheme should
invest in a few small brass or
bronze idols to place on tables.
One handsome one on the mantel
would be effective. 49,.

of three rattan tables with glass
