Bridal Party
Become
Too Large
Fewer Attendants
Usually Seen at
Home Wedding
Bv Emily Post

While reading one Of my letter!
today, 80 maid of honor, 81,
bridesmaids, and then two usher.
~ the mental picture Of 6
church filled with flowers anC
| packed with guests suddenly Jared
Two ushers with six bridesmaids:
And then read on: will the bride:
attendants be too many for only
so wedding guests in a house?"
Frankly the answer is YES" But
for no reason except that it would
seem a good deal of preparation to
ask of your bridesmaids when none
but immediate families could be
present. However, if the dresses
are very simple-meaning by thai
very inexpensive-andi if they them
selves would like to be bridesmaids
I can see no sensible reason against
having them.
I also understand that two uShers
would be ample. Under the cir
cumstances, I take it for granted
that these two usherS will not. at
tempt to lead a professional, but
that the bridesmaids will walk up
alone followed by your maid OF
honor.
Dear Mrs. Post: Here at our house
we've been having a heated argu-
ment on the best place to stand in
dividual plates of salad when they
are brought to the table with the
main course. We know its not
according to etiquette to serve salad
this way, but mother says that you
always stress doing what Is most
expedient in a particular type OF
house. Is that right?
Answer-I agree that expediency
is something that has to be conslo-
cred. Considering this then, you
could put the salad wherever seems
to YOU most reachable. Personally
T abominate side plates-not at all
because they are unfaShionable, but
because I don't see how sleeves are
kept out of ones main plate. The
bread and butter plate makes the
food on the plate in front Of one
hazardous enough without the un-
certainties of salads.
Dear Mrs. Post: The mother OF
the bride is a widow who is herself
intending to marry again soon after
her daughter. She has not an
nounced her engagement. but would
like to seat her fiance next to her
in the first pew at her daughters
wedding. II this will be correct,
where shall her mother-the brides
grandmother-be seated? She hVes
with a maiden aunt Of the bride.
Answer think having her tiance
seated next to her in the first pew
would be almost the same as an
nouncing her engagement. II they
would like people to know, then this
will be all right and will, as it were,
pave the way for their announce
ment. The grandmother would be
able to have the best view from the
aisle seat in the second row-that Is,
much better than she would from
the third seat in the first pew. The
aunt would also have a perfect view
from the second seat.

Laird says. Il just look at her and

thick texture which comes from

is really a hangover from adoles-

A correspondent asks: Which
loves the more, man or woman?
Don't be silly. Woman, Of course.
! Now and then there is a man who
is a great lover, after the Clark
Gable manner, who is capable of
sustained affection that lasts
through 80 or 40 years Of matrimony
and who spends the balance of his
life in nursing a broken heart If
anything untoward happens to the
object of his devotions. But these
are among our rarer species of
fauna. But practically all women
are born with gift for loving that
amounts to positive genius. For 1t
not only enables them to tWine
their affections about almost any
member Of the opposite sex, but to
love the unlovable and to grieR
for the husbands who have mis-
treated them when they die. Their
theme song Is the old Floradora
chorus: Il must love somebody and
it might as well be you" The old
bachelor prides himself upon hav-
ing been foxy enough to have es-
capped love and its responsibilities,
but having missed love is a tragedy
to the old maid. Truly, as the poet
says. mans love is of mans life a
thing apart. It's woman's whole
existence" But in trying to decide
the question of which loves the
more, man or woman, let us con-
slider some of the proofs of love.
What are these? Loyalty and faith
fulness and endurance and self
sacrifice. These are the acid tests
that we must apply to affection to
find out whether it is pinchbeck or
pure gold. Words are nothing. 1t is
only deeds that count. If you meas
ure love by what it is willing to bear
and suffer, by its divine forgiveness
and by the miracle by which it
glorifies some commonplace object
into the semblance of a god, then
who can deny that woman's power
of love is infinitely greater than
mans?
Whether at the time Of marriage
the bridegroom is more rOmanticalIy
in love with the bride than she is
with him does not matter. The
thing that counts is the endurance
of love, its ability to survive the
disillusions of matrimony and bloom
like a green oasis in the arid desert
