Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-02-11
BY MARY BEECKMAN
Authority on Good Manners

GETTING MARRIED these
days is not the simple problem
il used 10 be such as deter
mining how much you cou d
afford for a wedding and then
having a gala time selecting
everything from the wedding
gown to the flowers. Indeed,
these days one must even take
into consideration what the we'd
ding is going to do to the guests.
Take, for instance, the follow
ing letter:
DEAR MRS. BEEKMAN:
My daughter is to be married
next month, and desperately
need your help, for there are so
many things / do not know
about present day weddings.
Since we are all trying TO put
as much as possible in war bonds
and TO help with war activities,
we do not consider an expensive
wedding fitting in these times.
and we want nothing 10 appear
over-done. But still OF course we
want 10 have pretty wedding.
simple and as correct as possible
under the circumstances. Also
besides the question OF expense.
there is, as far as the reception
plans are concerned, the problem
OF ure-and-gas-rationing.
These are our plans so far:
The wedding is to be in the eve
ming in church.
There are TO be a maid of
honor, four bridesmaids, and the
same number of ushers.
The ushers will probably be
lieutenants, and will of course
wear their uniforms. The BRIDE
groom and best man are civil
fans. My husband will give our
daughter in marriage.
The Plans
THE bride Is 70 wear a
white satin dress with a short
train and a floor-length veil.
Wit the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in
uniform. would il be proper for
the bridegroom and best man TO
wear auxedoS Would II be Just
as good form for them TO wear
business suits.
II the other men In the we'd
ding party wear tuxedos, may
the brides father, who is TO give
her in marriage, wear a business
Suit7 / am a OFT perplexed as 10
whether a white satin gown and
veil are always classified as
formal. Are they?
2-Are s1he men attendants,
aside from the best man, actu-
ally usherSp Or are some Of
them "groonlsmen"?
3-Since / have little use for
an evening dress in wartime,
would il be imperative for the
mothers 10 wear evening dress?
II we wear afternoon dresses,
should we wear hats?
Al have been to several we'd
dings where the reception was
held in the annex of the church
or the church pailor. My daugh-
ter wishes 10 have the reception
at home. but l think that with
the tire-and-gas-rationing the
idea Of having IL at the church
is a very good one. What do
you think?

Mrs. Estella Smith

Mrs. Estella Smith, sc, one of
Iowa's pioneers, died at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Eli MANI, northeast
of Green Mountain, Saturday even
ing, August IA. Death was due to
infirmities of old age.
She was born Estella Loupee, in
Hancock county, near where the
town of Goodell is now located, on
July 3, 1857. She was the first white
girl born in the county, as well as
the second white child, her parents
having come from Michigan early
that spring. The following spring the
family returned to Michigan where
they lived six years before returning
to Iowa, settling in Jasper county,
where she grew to womanhood.
On March S, 1876, she was mar
ried to Angelo Smith, who died in
1886, shortly after they had cele-
brated their Goth wedding anniver-
sary. Mrs. Smith had spent the
greater part of her life in Iowa, hav-
ing lived in Minnesota for few
years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith were the par
ents of six children, one dying in
infancy. Those surviving are B. A.
and Ralph Smith of Milwaukee, Mrs.
M. I. White and Mrs. Percy Moore
of Sandstone, and Mrs. Lulu B. Smith
of Gladbrook; seven brothers and
cicforc w z o,,poo of nc Apoo1oc
Calf; Mrs. Addie Boughton of Bel
mont, Mrs. Sarah Ellis of the Iowa
Soldiers home in Marshalltown, Mrs.
Herman Oartivig and George Loupee
of Baxter and John and Alva Loupee
of Newton. Fifteen grandchildren and
19 great-grandchildren also survive.
Mrs. Smith had been a church
member for over go years, and was
always faithful to her church serv-
ices wherever she lived. She had a
kind, friendly disposition and there
fore made large circle of friends.
After long, busy and useful life,
she died as she lived, honored, trust
ed and loved. She reared her own
monument while she lived, in the
hearts of all who knew her.
Funeral services were held at
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, at the
Green Mountain Evangelical church,
Green Mountain, in charge of the
pastor, Rev. P. R. Epley. Burial was
made in the Riverside cemetery at
Marshalltown beside her husband.

An Open Letter To
AskOv Residents

There has been a number of COM
plants about children riding their
bicycles on the sidewalks on Main
street in Askov. There is an ordi-
nance forbidding bicycles on the side
walks and Fred Olesen, the village
marshal, and j. E. Clegg, the con-
stable have been instructed to give
warning to any one riding on the
sidewalks, and if any individuals
persist in doing so the marshal has
the authority to take such persons
before the justice of the peace and
they will be fined.
The village authorities are not in
terested in the money such fines
may bring to the treasury, but it is
the safety of the people who walk
on the sidewalks. When two or three
children drive down the sidewalk
the sidewalks are not safe for pedes-
trianS
The village council has had other
complaints but we do not wish to
pass more local laws than are need
ed. One complaint is that young
children under IL or ii years OF
Askov American., 1943-09-02

age roam the streets late at night
and local residents have made COM
paint to the council about this and
suggested that we pass an ordinance
prohibiting children under a certain
age from being on the streets after
9 p. M, unless accompanied by their
parents or other older relatives.
The village council members do
not wish to interfere with the pri-
vate life of the citizens of Askov
We are elected to carry on the bust
ness of the village, maintain streets
and other public improvements but
right along we have complaints from
some party or another asking us to
do something about the sewage from
the neighbors, or the grass should be
cut on some vacant lot Some day
we should have public sewer sys-
tenn and one or two have suggested
that the council levy an extra sum
each year as a sort of start for some
public improvement in the future.
Several years ago we bonded the
village to put tarvia on Main street
This tarvia does not hold up and we
spend perhaps $3.50 a year in upkeep
and before we are through paying
for the bonds on the original invest
ment we will have to do the job over
again, so why not start to pay a lit
tie ahead or in advance for such
improvements, likewise public water
works?
The Council is criticized for not
doing certain things, such as keep
ing the paintings along the highway
in order. 1t costs money and we try
not to spend more than we have in
the treasury. Two or three neighbors
get together and decide they want a
street light near their place; they
argue "others have them near their
place, why can't we?", etc. We are
spending nearly $40 a month for
street lights now, which is one OF
the largest expense items in the viii
lage.
I hope that we can have village
caucus this year. Some years ago the
state legislature passed law cancel
ing such caucus and now anyone
wishing to file for village office
must file with the clerk and pay 81
filing fee. The results are that hardly
anyone files and we have no choice
when election comes around. At a
village caucus various matters could
be discussed by the citizens and sug-
gestions made to the council 1t
should be sort of annual meeting
of the stockholders in the village,
which includes everyone who is a
citizen, taxpayer, or resident. Anyone
has right to appear at any council

1t is our duty to serve you which
we intended to do to the best of our
ability. We do not want to meddle in
your private affairs unless they be-
come a public nuisance, which is the
case with bicycle riding on the side
walks and 1 suggest that you keen
the children off the streets at night.
or at least ask them to be more quiet
and am sure there will be no nee6
to pass an ordinance to that effect.
1t is no use passing an ordinance or
law unless it is enforced
