II would appreciate any sug.
gestions you can give as to a gift
to the bride from the groom, othe,
than jewelry, luggage or a watch
Such offerings as dresser sets Of
comb, brush and mirror make lovely
presents, particularly the silver ones
with the brides new initials. Or
an especially lovely monogrammed
picture frame might be welcome
gift. However, the usual gift from
bridegroom to bride is Of a personal
nature, preferably something that
can be worn during the marriage
ceremony. This is why jewelry Is a
favorite. II a strand Of pearls or q
lovely pin does not appeal, how
about starting a gold or silver charm
bracelet, buying the bracelet and one
or two symbolic" charms such as a
miniature engagement ring and
wedding band now, and adding to it
on anniversaries and special oc-
casions?" It's a delightfully."- senti-
mental gift as well as a beautiful
and valuable one.
IT am invited to an 8 pm. church
wedding followed by reception.
What is the proper attire?"
. An 8 o'clock church wedding fol-
lowed by reception calls for dinner
or evening clothes for the guests.
You may wear dress with jacket or
sleeves, floor length, and not too
"bare" looking. A tiny headdress
or small hat is appropriate and In
some churches required.
1T seems to me that huge
branches of flowers look awkward
and massive when carried by brides
maids. I'd like to do something
different for my wedding, but am
at loss to know what is appro-
pirate"
The florists are bursting with good
ideas, depending upon the type and
formality Of your wedding. How
ever. among their suggestions are
mufis covered with flowers, garden
baskets" laden with fresh blooms
and even shepherds crooks" en-
twined with posies. Old-fash-
toned bouquets often are easier to
carry and more graceful looking
than "sheafs" and frequently the
same lacy pattern Of the bouquet
can be repeated in headdresses for
the attendants. Still another smart
idea Is to work out q version Of q
"daisy chain," using vine arrange
ment, for example. One Of the love-
liest weddings had the bridesmaids
all in white carrying gracefully
entwined garland in true daisy
chain" fashion. This can be very
inexpensive and most effective.
And so, dear reader. don't hold
back with the questions. Let's hear
'em and we'll try to find the answers
to your fashion problems. whether
YOU want to know what kind OF a
tie Uncle Edgar should wear or how
big a corsage your future mother
in-law really rates!

Display Clean Flag
To Honor Nation

May the American flag be washed?
Indeed 1t may, says the United
States Flag Association. House
holders who plan to display Old
Glory on Memorial Day and indie
pendence Day will show greater
honor to our country If the flag is
Immediately clean.
How to wash the flag depends
upon the material of which 1t is
made. Colorfast cotton flaGs can be
laundered in the tub or washed
using moderately warm suds. Color
fast wool flags need cooler soapy
water, and so do silk flags. Most
of the little flags such as children
often carry in parades are seldom
fast-dyed and washing is not sug-
gested for them.
Flag etiquette comes into the pic
ture when hanging the flag on the
line to dry. 1t should never be al
lowed to touch the ground and
should hang with the blue field to
the right If fastened by the mar
row side and with the field to the
left If fastened by the long side.
Whether suspended from a washline
for drying or from a pole for dis
play, the flag always should be
hung according to correct usage.
