Here Come the Brides

The time 5 o'clock. The
place-the small chapel at st.
Marks Church. The players-Nancy
Barber, private secretary, and her
soldier sweetheart, Pvt. Joseph Mil
ler, just home on a 30-day furlough
after 26 months overseas. Support
ing cast-their families and a few
invited friends. General theme-an
informal wedding to be followed by
a buffet supper. Then, after a short
honeymoon, the bride will return to
her desk at Jones, Smith e. Jones.
The names are fictitious, of course,
but the situation is not. This little
drama is being enacted every day
several times a day IN cities and
towns all over our country as our
men return for respite between bat
tie assignments. The players may
change, but the formula remains
very much the same, with the main
variation in the description of the
brides dress. Many girls will wear
formal white gowns, come what may
and our hats are off to them.
However, these new short-order
weddings have recently brought the
short white wedding dress into the
news.
Here is the answer to your BRIDE

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: I am a mother
with four children from 18 to 8 in
age and, although I have always
had bad health, I have made myself
door mat for them. l have gotten
out of bed to wait on them hand
and foot, and still do, as big as they
are, but I get no appreciation from
them. I have never refused to do
anything they asked me to do, no
matter how tired or sick I am.
1t is true that sometimes I holler
at them when they don't obey me,
or when they are impudent to me.
Then their father screams at me,
saying that am always picking on
them and nagging them. Neither
my children nor my husband show
me any affection or respect and
they never even notice what a slave
I make Of myself. What shall I do?
A DISCOURAGED WIFE AND
MOTHER.
Answer-Well, the first thing for
you to do is to try to get we'll No
doubt you do pick and nag at your
children and scream at them and
it is because your nerves are all shot
to pieces and everything that they
do irritates you. No sick woman is

earnest advice to you is to go to

ber have little use for formal gowns.
Although most Of them would prob
ably treasure the gown for senti-
ment's sake, today they often feel
like our young friend who said re-
Gently, 1--WE always dreamed OF
being married in clouds of white
tulle, but right now I think I'd
rather save the money to invest in
a home when he comes back"
Rayon crepe makes some pretty
softly draped short white wedding
dresses which can be worn with a
pretty flower hat, perhaps with
flower bag or muff to match. Or, il
you can afford it, you might like
Mildred O'Quinn's white silken
sheath bare of all clutter, with twin
chiffon ties-one in white, the other
royal blue-pulled through tabs al
the neckline and streaming dowr
the front. This is no dress for the
slouchers. It's for you who can
wear your clothes with an air, and
has become almost a classic fol
those who want to be married in
short gowns with distinction.
However, if your wedding is to be
in the country, there's nothing nicer
than daisy-fresh cotton. One of the
prettiest is a white bird's-eye pique
one-piece affair with cap sleeves
and sprays of embroidered cut-out
self-fabric flowers making it very

special occasion. For those Of you
who don't like white shoes, there's
a good pique that gives you reason
to wear black on your feet. This
one is two-piece cut with deep oval
neckline and padded extended
shoulder line. Black jet buttons
close the bodice and dot the two
patch pockets.
II white is not becoming to your
particular style Of beauty, there are
pastel suits and dresses. On the suit
idea-and good idea it is for a town
wedding-there are Nettie Rosen-
stems silk shantungs for the brides
without budget worries. Her nat
ural colored suit with exaggerated
rolling lapels is our special love-
and we particularly like the way it
flares slightly in back to give q
good back line. Remember, your
friends and family see your back
for the better part of your we'd
ding-so pay attention to the aft
lines of anything you buy. OF
course, a suit such as this is def
nitely for the sophisticated as is
that same designers beautiful one
piece dress in crepe-this one with
wide collar, drawstring arrange
ment over the bosom and confetti
ribbon ties at bodice and cuffed
sleeves.
You can have your pastels in
cotton, too-and the designers have
really outdone themselves design
ing worldly cottons for brides.
Charles Armour, for example has
glorified chambrays in a series for
bride and attendant. The brides
gown" has an appropriate Sweet
heart" neckline elaborated with con-
trast cut-out embroidery, while her
attendant might wear a similar
dress with square neckline and coll

some sanitarium, if it is at all pos
Sible, where you will be separated
from your family and have chance
to be cured of whatever ails you.
AS for your children and husband
not appreciating what you do for
them, that is your own fault. You
brought that on yourself. Any
woman who makes a door mat of
herself for her family must expect
to be kicked around and trampled
over. Nobody hangs a door mat on
the wall to be admired and Dragged
about.
Children treat their parents, and
especially their mothers, as mother
teaches them to treat her. If you
had taught your children to help you
with the housework, instead of your
waiting on them hand and foot, you
would not have to get up out of a
sick bed to do the washing and cook
ing and ironing for them. They
would be mothers little helpers and
proud to do their chores.
Probably it is too late to undo the
bad work you have done, but YOU
can, at least, go on a sit-down strike
and let them find out how much
their comfort and ease depended on
their poor slave of a mother. And
maybe they will say thank you,"
but I doubt 1t.

VETERAN KILLED AFTER

PEOPLE WITH RAZOR

CHICAGO, Mar. l (ANP). - A
World War veteran was killed here
last week when he ran amuck and
slashed Is people with razor.
The veteran, Moses Bradford, 55,
died of bullet wounds inflicted by
Robert Palmer, a currency exchange
watchman whom he attempted to
attack. Bradford, according to au-
thorities, was recently discharged
from Edward Hines Jr. Memorial
hospital where he was confined as
mental patient.
William Bradford, the veterans
brother, revealed that the slain man
had left his home to visit nephew
when he suddenly began using his
razor. Five Of his victims were given
hospital treatment at Provident
hospital.
Police ordered Palmer to appear
at the inquest but said no charges
will be placed against him for the
Staying.

make history, not for Florida alone,
but for the whole nation. We can do
it right. We've got the brains and
the patriotism"
He tabooed the idea of Negroes
attaining superiority at the polls by
saying that "if Florida politics ever
gets so low that the Negro can con-
troll it, he ought to control it.
The Escambia County Circuit
court recently directed the registra-
tion supervisor to enroll two Pensa-
cola Negroes as Democrats but the
decision is being appealed to the
state supreme court. A few Negroes
have been registered as Democrats

Following the lead of the New
York Telephone company, the Bell
Telephone company of Buffalo en-
ployed it's first Negro switchboard
operator this week, according to
Edward Lawson, Regional FEPC
director.
The operator, who is now in train
ing, is Miss Florence Lee. She is a
native of Buffalo who formerly
worked in a candle factory.
Lawson said that following the
FEPC's recent success in opening
employment opportunities for col
ored girls as switchboard operators
in New York City, movements were
started in many communities with
the hope of achieving similar re-
suits. The drive in Buffalo was
spearheaded by the Memorial cen
ter and Urban league of this city
of which William L. Evans is direc-
tor and Howard M. Nash industrial
secretary.
Since Feb. 1, Mr.. Nash has re-
ferred a number of Negro girls to
the company's personnel office
Only Miss Lee has to date passed

FLORIDA ATTORNEY
GENERAL SAYS NEGRO
VOTING INEVITABLE

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Mar. 1
(ANP) ).-"The Negro and the white
man in American idealism are en-
titled to the same political rights"
That remark was uttered by Atty.
Gen. Tom Watson Of Florida during
a conference of the state Demo-
cratic Executive Committees leg
islative council on recommendation
to be made to the coming legisla-
ture. Watson's statement followed
suggestions on how to block Negro
voting in Democratic primaries by
the way of relinquishing control
over primary elections or returning
to the convention system Of nomi-
mating.
Negro voting Florida is "inevit-
able,' he told Democratic party
leaders but advised them to try to
find a way "that will reduce the
evils" Feeling that his statement
might irritate his colleagues, Wat
son said that II know l am playing
with fire politically"
But he pointed out that "the Ne
gro and the white man in American
idealism are entitled to the same
political rights" He reminded his
party members of recent supreme
court decisions, then added "that's
got to be recognized or something is
going to take place that will have
the effect of disintegration and the
injury of what we've got.
"There is no such thing as racial
equality Watson assured them,
"and there never will be. If l wanted
to express my prejudices to colored
people l expect l could line up as
long a list as any person here. ]
don't want any Negro sitting by me
unless l invite him."
He declared, however, that "the
south has got to let the Negro vote
Part Of the south is letting Negroes
vote and doing just as we'll as the
rest" Negroes are permitted to cast
Democratic ballots in North Caro-
lima, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia
and Oklahoma, he said.
Watson promised that cit can be
done in way that will reduce the
