FVACH year | always mean to write
an Easter wedding article, long
&m4 enough in advance to be of use
to the brides of Easter week. So today
| am going to be on time and answer
those questions which | know very
well will be asked me, and add few
have never written about before.
First, let me condense into briefest
notebook outline the wedding prep
aration procedure. Before the bride
and groom can definitely decide on
the day of the wedding. it will be
necessary to consult the clergyman.
Usually, when the brides family are
giving her big wedding, the bride
and her mother go to see their clergy
man. If it is to be a very small we'd
ding, it may be that the bride goes
with the groom.
A plan that. at present, is not un-
known is for two, or even three,
friends to share the church decora-
tions. If Susan c. is told by the clergy
man that Mary A. is to be married
on Easter Monday at noon, and Jane
B. at four. it might be practical for
Susan to be married at five, or if she
prefers an evening wedding, at eight.
In this case, if Mrs. A., Mrs. B., and
Mrs c. are willing to agree upon the
same florist, sharing the decorations
would cut this item of church ex-
pense to one third for each. And this
might mean the difference between
effective decorations and nothing
more than few flowers, for very
slight rearranging of the flowers by
the florist will prevent the general
effects from being noticeably alike.
The three brides can also share the
cost of the awning, but not the open
ing of the church since sweeping and
putting in order would be necessary
preparation before each wedding.

WoIking Alone

DO a recent letter from the bride
asked: Does the fact that my father
refuses to walk up the aisle with me
mean that | must give up my plan to
have wedding procession with ushers
and bridesmaids and a maid of honor?
/ had wanted two little flower girls.
But how can l have them now? The
picture | get of all these attendants
marching up the aisle with myself
tagging on the end is pathetic"
The reply to this depends upon her
own personality. l can say truthfully
that some of the loveliest brides have
ever seen have walked alone. One of
these, who was tall, wore a dress of
silver brocade and a lace veil, and
carried a sheaf of Easter lilies. An
other one was very small and just the
opposite. She wore a hoop-skirted
1880 dress and tulle veil. In any case,
it is true that the bride who walks
alone must make an appearance" like

Timing OF the Moreh

oINCE brides almost always ask
about how the timing of the wedding
march is managed, let me try to make
this very clear. First of all, the groom
and best man wait with the clergy
man in the vestry, until they are mott
fed that the bride has arrived. They
then wait for the Silence of the
organ" Q'll explain this in moment).
Meanwhile, at perfectly managed
wedding, the brides mother has wait
ed in the vestibule of the church until
the brides train and veil are arranged
and the whole procession is standing
ready to walk up the aisle The brides
mother then enters the church on the
arm of the head usher, and just as she
is seated, the organist brings his pre-
liminary recital to a close. In the
moment of silence that follows, the
head usher hurries to the vestibule,
and takes his place in the professional.
During this same time. the clergy
man steps out from the vestry door,
followed few PAGES behind by the
bridegroom, who in turn is closely
followed by his best man. The clergy
man stands facing the congregation
and the bridegroom stands either at
the top or the foot of the chancel steps
- depending upon the location of the
vestry. AS the groom takes his place,
the organist begins the wedding
march, the vestibule doors are opened
wide, and the wedding party waits
for its own cue to begin the procession
on the bar determined upon at the
rehearsal. Perfection of timing brings
the music to an end at the moment
when the bride and groom stand side
by side at the foot of the chancel.
The routine greeting of the bride
by the groom is this: She takes her
left hand from her fathers arm,
transfers her bouquet from her right
into her left hand, and gives her right
hand to the bridegroom. He draws
her hand through his left arm and
together they stand in front of the
clergyman - the bride on the bride
groom's left during the ceremony.
And after the ceremony, they turn as
they stand and walk down the aisle.
The variations of these details are
equally prescribed. If the bride has
no father, she may walk with her
Evening star., 1941-03-09

brother, or her uncle, or an old family
friend. Or she may walk alone. But
it is absolutely incorrect at wedding
of any size that the bride enter the
church with the groom. OF course,
if they are merely going to be married
in the presence of their immediate
families or fewest friends, they may
enter the church together - but not
if they are having any attendants.
An improperly, very like that of
the bride and groom walking up the
aisle together, is the not unheard of
mistake made by the best man who,
seeing the bride and groom go down
the aisle after the ceremony, offers
his arm to the maid of honor; and

down they also 60, as though they
were the second bride and groom at
double wedding! If it were a double
wedding, this would of course be
proper. Otherwise, this blunder de-
tracts from the emphasis that is
properly placed on the one bride and
bridegroom, Properly, the wedding
procession, except for the bride and
groom who do walk together, leaves
the sanctuary in exactly the same
order in which they entered it, ushers
with ushers and bridesmaids with
bridesmaids. while the groom with
draws into the sanctuary to perform
final service of giving the clergyman a
marriage fee.

BIZ Esther Van Wagoner rudy

BY Esther Van Wagner Tufty
Few and refreshing, indeed, are
meetings in Washington devoted
primarily to after the war" prob
lens. Such sessions were held this
week when the members OF the In
ter-Regional Highway Committee
got together for the first time.
President Roosevelts fundamen-
tai idea, underlying the formation OF
the committee, was to make plans
now for future highway work TO
give employment to the men GER
tain to be thrown out of work when
defense production stops at the end
of the war.
While this first meeting was
largely one Of organization, the gen
eral detectives and policies of the
committee were discussed. The
name "inter-regionar' really tells
the basic story. Traffic experts have
proven the soundness of regional
planning around our great crowded
metropolitan cities. Now it remains
to tie those regions together in,
through, and around cities like De-
troit.
So says G. Donald Kennedy, State
Highway Commissioner, who was
honored with the vice Craftsmanship
of the national committee of high
way leaders, headed by Thomas H.
Macdonald, United States Commits
sioner of Public Roads.
While the committee is particu.
larly interested in after-war high
way developments, II has an advis-
DRY Importance to any defense road
program. When the big $685., 000, 900
highway bill gets through the Con-
gress, it means a real revamping of
the highway system tuned to de-
tense needs.
II is generally conceded here that
the War Departments ideas on
road building are as antiquated as
the war roads laid out by General
Pershing. However, the Army De-
partmental officials realize that
adequate roads are5as important as
ammunition in aS>modern mechan-
lied war. You can't move the new
heavy tanks on wobbly road beds.
One thing is certain in the next
few years we are going to see some
wholesale roadbuilding that will
make Hitler's famed auto-bahn fee
BILE in comparison.
Are the faces of the Communists
red! With their Russia fighting
Germany they have to. use some
fancy gymnastics to line up with
their new party line. Until dawn
on Sunday, every true Communist
called Roosevelt a warmonger, de-
nounced aid to Britain, and tried to
obstruct the defense program where
possible.
The next edition of the Daily
Worker Communist paper self-de-
scribed as the paper you can
trust) evoked many chuckles in
Washington. The first page head
lined and praised Roosevelt's aid to
Russia as means of defeating
Hitler. But the inside pages told a
different story, since there was not
sufficient time to make them over
before press time. One inside arti-
Gle told fondly of how British sail

ors and interned German sailors
fraternize in bar in Brazil.
And even the Anti-Reds are not
having an easy time. Poor Martin
Dies, the nations best publicized
anti-Communist as chairman Of tho
Committee Investigating Un-Amer-
lean Activities, sees the Nazi-Soviet
war breaking out Just at a time
when he felt he had the Communist
party by the throat.
The only Communists without red
faces are those who picketed the
White House. They stopped just be-
fore the RussoGerman war was de-
clared-and think they were pretty
cute, even II they do admit they did
not know what was coming.
