c. Last week I read in another
Washington paper that under no
circumstances should women
guests wear hats to church
wedding after 6 o'clock in the
evening. Also, that the right
side of the church was reserved
for the brides family, and the
left for the bridegroom's. Can
this be correct?
A. Certainly not. Hats must
be worn in church for a wedding
at any hour-this is a religious
requirement, as we'll as a social
one. The brides family and
friends are seated on the left of
the church as one enters, and
those of the bridegroom to the
right. I am surprised that any
misunderstanding should occur
about such an established custom.

lest for Living
Most Important
For Good Health
By Josephine Lolpman

Boredom has given more
women backaches than organic
disease. Life is made dull,
energy is depleted, and the CLAM
dular system is slowed up when
the zest for living is low. Mental
attitudes and health are so
closely related that it is difficult
to tell which affects the other
more. The mind can lift the body
to vitalized heights or doom 1t to
fatigue and lackluster living.
How can a woman be bored?
Why is she bored? Perhaps be-
cause she has gotten into a rut
and is timid about trying new
activities. We are likely to type
ourselves and our friends don't
help us a great deal in overcom-
ing this habit. We are likely to
plan our day according to age
rather than to taste.
A woman may think of herself
as too old to begin music, or art,
or to try her hand at writing or
career. It's never too late to be-
gin anything you are interested
in. It's never too late to learn
to play a musical instrument, to
begin reading the stories of the
operas, or TO increase your ap-
probation of music by learning
more about the great masters and
their masterpieces.
It's never too late to study art
or literature or to learn a new
language. There are always
sports you can enjoy, games you
can play, and history and poetry
open up new and undreamed of
vistas to the spirit and mind.
There always are many per-
sons who need help desperately.

designs is great improvement,
but the collection goes even
further than that. The wrap
ping is only one part of unit,
the other parts being made up Of
tags, ties and seals to match. And
We really mean match. Here are
a couple of examples TO prove 1t.
There is one wrapping that has
popcorn looking good enough to
eat strewn on a red background
and with it come the tags that
are fat popcorn balls. Each seal
is one big, puffy kernel. The
wrapping with the mitten motif
has two mittens tied together
for a tag and one holding a card
for the inscription.
Don't get the idea that these
are the only offerings in the
group. There are many more
from which to choose, in wide
variety of subjects, all Christ
masy and full of surprises and
novel ideas. All are whimsical.
sprightly and gay, with bright
colors predominating, but they
aren't cheapened because of it
1t doesn't take very long to
realize how much time, material
and temper are saved by using
these matched sets. In past
years some people have chosen
their wrappings indiscriminately,
not bothering about blending of
colors or the appropriateness of
the wrapping to the gift, not
bothering about anything in their
frantic rush to get it over with"
Others spent hours making up
their own sets and perhaps fin
ished with nothing but a shat
tered nervous system. In this
new plan the work is done for
us and all We have to do is 60
into a shop and say, III take
this and this and that" Sounds
much better, doesn't it?
There is still another innova-
ton that will save your nerves
and make you really glad that
you finally found the mustache
cup for uncle. 1t is the gift
wrapping school that is opening
soon at local store. There,
with very little trouble, you can
learn how. to make your Christ
mas presents look like the ones
you see in the store windows.
You will find that the pompoms

The interesting part of the
project, aside from the charm at
little cost, was the fact that there
seemed to be so much room left

room arranged for the use that
was to be made OF it.

wrapping; it might take moro
time but it is no more difficult.
Your Christmas wrapping can
become a pleasure instead of .

Several new ideas worked out
by gift-wrapping concerns have
put an end to the Christmas
packages we used to see, which,
while not exactly messy. were
simply wrapped boxes and
nothing more Smartness and
individuality in this line are
rapidly becoming established
facts and more care is being
taken by both the manufacturer
and the consumer to stick to
them. A gift wrapping that
suits the nature Of the gift or the
personality Of the person for
whom it is intended is the key
note now, and is bound to get
full support from the public
once they have laid their eyes on
the new papers and tags.
Take, for example, the new de-
signs created by one well-known
firm. In the large collection you
are sure to find a wrapping to
suit every need. Here are just a
few chosen at random to give you
some idea of their attractiveness.

striped dresses on red back

tied with yarn, angels with er-

snowballs, Santa Clauses and
fluffy lambs in abundance, to say
nothing of frolicking fawns on a
bright red field.
