way you wear it; not what you do,
but the way you do it that really
counts" In other words, it's up to
you
What is the fashionable hour?'
many Of you ask. Well, HIS hour
is the fashionable hour to be mar
ried. And the same latitude holds
these days for the place of the
wedding as we'll It's pretty much a
question of what you have to work
with. Get that clearly in mind and
then tailor your dreams to fit the
practical present. Not that you
have to sell yourself short on your
dreams, but you may have to use
a bit of ingenuity to make them
come true.
OF course, every girl dreams of
being married in church with all
eyes following her as she slowly
walks up the aisle to the majestic
and moving strains of "Lohengrin." :"
But you don't have to give up the
idea if the only available spot is
his officers club or if you have to
compromise on a small chapel at
his post. We heard recently about
one bride-a seryiceWoman-Who
was married at a small base in the
Evening star., 1945-06-06

Pacific. No big church down there,
no winding staircase, but she didn't
let the limitations of the locale
limit the fulfilment of her dreams.
She used her wits and made the
most of what she had to work with.
Instead of having the traditional
bridal flowers, she used the glorious
tropical flowers which she and her
friends picked out of the fields and
put in powder kegs. They made
magnificent background.
When it comes to your wedding
gown, large supply of ingenuity
serves you in better stead than a
large supply Of cash these Gays
when you can't always get what you
want no matter how much you're
willing to pay. If you want to be a
traditional bride in white-and
every girl is one in her dreams
you don't have to let circumstances
cheat you of your dream. One bride
who decided she was going to have
a traditional wedding. war o. no
war, was a little WAC captain We
met recently with Mrs. Potts. She
was the traditional foot 2, eyes Of
blue. and she had met and married
her 6-foot-2 Air Forces hero in the
ETO. OF course. his height has
nothing to do with the story, but it
heipS create the picture OF story
book romance. They were in Paris,
where you can probably buy a we'd
ding dress if you own a bank. She
didn't, But she didn't want to be
deprived Of her moment of glory,
nor did she want to rob her bride
groom OF memory to carry in his
heart forever So she took his silk
parachute to little dressmaker
who made her fairy princess gown
with wide, billoWing skirt. When
We asked her new husband vrat
she mad worn, he couldn't an Yer,
but his eyes gave all the answer We
needed. They said, "Becu full"
Again, it's not what you Wear-is
the way you wear it, and the effect.
Another good example is the scyv-
lceWoman We mentioned who was
married at a Pacific base She was
hardly in position to buy formal
wedding gown, but she OutWitted
the circumstance and managed to
be a beautiful bride in white. Her
gown was made of the fabric used
for flour bags. and for a veil she
used yards and yards of mosquito
netting. AL of which goes to prove
that where there's will there's Q
way to be happily married.

Dorothy Dix Says

humiliate her to know that she
shocks you by her illiterate speech
it will not humiliate her so much as
to realize. after you are married
that you are ashamed of her
Her fault is one that she can cor
rect easily if she SO desires. but she
cannot DO this unless her attention
is called to it. Therefore. it is your
duty to give her an opportunity tc
improve herself If she is too stub
Eorn, too unintelligent or too men
tally lazy to do this, then you would
be very foolish to marry her. for she
would make the sort of wife who
would be milestone around her
husbands neck
But if this girl is uncultured and
uneducated, 90 you think she is a
very desirable wife for a doctor?
isn't your love for her just a phys
ical infatuation that soon will pass
and leave you tied to a woman who
can never be real companion to
you? Think this over carefully be-
fore you take the fatal step,
Evening star., 1945-06-06

Dear Miss Dix: I am a doctor
engaged to girl whom I love very
much, but her grammar is appalling
and in conversation she uses un-
couth and common expressions. This
embarrasses me very much before
my friends and gets upon my nerves
1t is bad enough when I hear it twice
week but the prospect Of listening
TO it for life daunts me.
Any attempt to improve her
speech would hurt her feelings
What shall l do? DOCTOR S.
Answer-Sometim we have to be
cruel to be kind Even though it
wounds, there is mercy in the sur
geon's knife that cuts away the can
cerous growth that would destroy
life.
In your case only absolute frank
ness can save both you and the
girl from life of misery. 1t may
seem brutal TO you to tell her the
truth about her defects, but only the
truth will avail. and while it will

Laugh in Church"
She sat on the sliding cushion.
The dear, wee woman OF four,
Her feet in their shining slippers
Hung dangling over the floor.
She meant to be good, she had promised,
And so. with her big. brown eyes,
She stared ct the meeting house windows
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far up al the preacher,
But she thought of the honey bee
Dronlng away at the blossoms
That whtened the cherry tree.
She thought of broken basket,
Where, curled in dusky heap,
Three sleek. round puppies with friney ears,
Lay SnusRled and fast asleep.
Such soft warm bodies to cuddle.
Such queer little hearts to beat,
Such swift, round tongues 10 kiss,
Such sprawling, cushony feet.
She could feel in her claspng fingers
The touch of the satiny skin
And a cold, wet nose exploring
The dimples under her chin.
Then a sudden ripple OF laushter
Ran over the parted lips,
So quick that she could not catch 1t
With her rosy fngertips.
The people whispered, Bless her. child"

For shame in her mothers lap.

GLASS CONSERVATION.
From Mrs, C.. A. X, Bethesda

Summertime brings so many de-
mands for drinks from children that
the number of drinking glasses to be
washed is overwhelming at times. A
system l used last summer and have
started to use this year may help
other mothers cut their glass wash
ing down. I provided one glass for
each member of the family, of the
heavier. more durable kind-glasses
that jelly has been purchased in are
ideal if they have smooth sides-and
onto each one l put a decal design.
Each person has his own design to
distinguish his own glass, which he
uses for all drinking purposes and
keeps on window sill near the
kitchen sink. We use the same sys-
tenn in the bathroom, except that
there we have plastic glasses to avoid
broken glass on the bathroom floor.
The childrens designs are of the
nursery rhyme type, which fascinate
them. I also made up some extra
glasses with the decals on them so
that when neighbor children are

Vanishing Jobs By GEORGE S.BENSON President Of Harding College
 Seorcy. Arkonsos

liberal and considerate of their employees get the best men and head the best organizations. This is as much a part of Americas Free Enterprise system as own- ing property.
 Competition NOT MANY years Was Game ago mpetent
 workmen often quit their jobs with big corporations to go in business for themselves. They did it, not because they were sure to earn more. In fact they knew they might earn less. They did it for liberty to use their own ideas. They had faith in their own plans to prosper. The element of chance made it genuine fun to operate businesses of their own.
 Running your own business is no fun now; more like a head ache, and this sad fact is closing the doors of many one-time thriv. ing little enterprises. Three. fourths of all American workers are engaged in small business. If, in the postwar period, small em- ployers are hopeless; if they find no reason to stay in business, see no chance to excel. get no fun out of competition, jobs will be vrally scarce.
 There is no certainty of enough jobs after the war for service men and former war workers in pursuits of peace. There is no assurance in the words of. the politician getting tough with crip- pied industry saying, Big Busi- ness must employ them or sup- port them on WPA." It is like the voice of the benighted father cursing his maimed child. But the right steps will assure plenty of jobs. Next week we will start to outline those steps.

ONE DAY in the outskirts of Chicago witnessed a traffic ac- cident. A delivery car struck one of several children playing in the street and injured him painfully. Playmates scattered in excite ment, seeking the boys parents, a doctor, a policeman. Each child tried to do what he thought need ed most to be done. The father, a hairy specimen, was first to ar- rive.
 No sooner had his dark eyes taken in the situation than he be- gan to scold the injured boy. He didn't actually cuff his son but he said some really harsh things for the patient to bear along with his injury. (It turned out to be a broken arm). The unhappy de. liveryman took some oral abuse also. The father contributed noth. ing else. He vented his anger freely with profanity in thick dialect.
 Genuine MAYBE some learned Mystery expert on human be-
 havior could have ex- plained that fathers actions. A suffering child wept; unknown in- juries waited treatment while duly constituted authority did a loud job of attaching blame with out investigation. Understanding this might help explain why peo- pie, openly committed to the in. terests of labor, work so effec. lively making jobs scarce.
 Destroying jobs does not help labor. Workers are never so well off as when there are plenty of jobs. An employees right to quit his job and take a better one makes pay good, also working conditions. Employers who are

Memories
By Angelo Castagna

I looked at her when she passed by, She looked bit like you. In her hair was just tinge of gray, With lovely eyes of blue. She had smile for every one
 And such a lovely face. With little line of worry
 That time can not erase. I stopped and thought of you then And tear came to my eye, AS I plainly remember
 Our last kiss and last good bye, You did not want to let me go, You held me to the last, Oh! How many times I've thought
 of 1t,
 In days and years gone past. l still can see you standing there Your cheeks with tear drops wet, A love that money can not buy Or never will forget. And l know that you will be wait
 ing,
 As you always did before, God Bless you and keep you well, Till I come home once more. Angelo CaStagna Is a former Foundry worker at the E. B. and has spent the last two years in the armed services in Belgium.
