Weddings absorb the conversa-
tion at hen parties at this time of
the year, but even after these CAB
tests many problems remain un-
solved, so along come the letters
from puzzled moderns.
II am getting married next win
ter and am inviting my brides
maids now," writes a Virginia
belle. II have four sisters and
three brothers. The sisters are
younger than me. One is IA years
old. Should / ask the four to be
bridesmaids or can just pick
favorites?"
This is no time for favorites. If
you are having a pretty good-siz-
ed wedding, you should ask your
four sisters to be bridesmaids. II
the wedding is small, it is cum
tomary to ask the eldest sister to
be a bridesmaid.
Il have red hair and have been
invited to be a bridesmaid at a
wedding, and wear a red dress.
accepted before l found out that
the dress would be red, which is
unfiattering to redheads. Should
/ turn down the invitation or ask
the bride to select another color
for me?" writes Ann M. of Marys-
vile, Ohio.
Redhead Woes
Fashion experts and designers
bemoan the fact that readheaded
girls invariably avoid red. They
say red should be a redhead's
dream color, If she'd give it
chance. They recommend pink,
too, as a flattering shade. The
trick, they say, is learning how
to make up to wear these colors.l
Kelly green, often the choice of
redheads is a contrast that can be
garish, they stress.
IL am being married at an af-
ternoon church wedding. Nv fam
lily is giving me small reception,
but they say they cannot afford to
decorate the house with flowers
as well as the church. Even a few
flowers for the church would ruin
the budget. DO you think the
church setting will seem bare if
there are no fiowers?"
Investigate the possibility that
there will be flowers at earlier
weddings that day in the church.
Ask your minister about the pos
sibility of using those flowers.
Many times they are removed be-
cause each wedding likes to use
their own floral assortment. You
have another alternative-decor-
ate the church, and then while
congratulations are in progress,
someone can whisk the flowers
from the church to your home be-
fore the reception.
"How much time does a news
paper require in advance for
wedding story? Someone told me
that you should send the story in
advance of the wedding. Do you
go to the paper with it or is it all
right to send IL by mail?" (
Wedding Story
It's a good idea to call the news
paper and discuss their require |
ments for wedding insertions. The
Society Department can answer
your question. Send your photo
graph with the wedding story. In.
clude details such as time and
place of the wedding and the re-
ception details, names of the
bridesmaids, ushers and names of
the parents of the bride and
groom.
"Is it customary 10 tell your
parents where you are going on
your honeymoon? Someone told
me 1t was bad luck to tell anyone
where you plan to spend your
honeymoon"
1t is entirely your own business
whether you reveal your honey
moon plans, and l have never
heard of it being bad luck.

DAVID LAWRENCE
Has Economic Recovery Begun?

licly 1t is ready for tax re-
duction. For this would be
giving sanction to q budget
deficit Of large size.
Just what kind of tax re-
vision is in prospect cannot
be forecast now. except that
the Nation may expect q po-
litical makeshift. Such plans
as those just advanced by
the Committee on Economic
Development in New York
would not have a ghost Of q
chance. A majority of the
members Of Congress would
never vote for q nine-month
suspension Of taxes. To grant
q 20 per cent reduction and
then take 1t away In less
than q year is politically
absurd.
What seems more likely Is
that the administration will
come out in favor Of q con-
structive plan for tax revision
which looks toward lower
taxes not just for the emer-
gency period, but as q part
OF q long-range attempt to
stabilize the value of the dol
lar. There is much merit in
the plan because. once the
boom returns. tax receipts
win grow. and. If there is q
continuing deficit. the pres
sure for cutting expenses will
then be resumed. This would
be q healthy development.
Some Of the Democratic
politicians, on the other
hand. win urge big decreases
for the low-income groups.
They cannot get such pro-
posals adopted without con-
ceding some reductions in the
higher brackets and in cor
poration taxes. The final bill
win be q compromise between
the two points Of view in
Congress-the radicals and
the conservatives - in both
parties.
On the whole, however,
the national economy seems
to be weathering the storm
without the need for the en-
actment Of fanciful programs
and unsound tax measures.

EngIe Displaying Surprising Strength

SACRAMENTO. Calf. -
Early soundings of public

strength against his prac-

opposition. Gov. Goodwin
Knight, for the United States
Senate. The word is surpris-

Gov. Knight has spent an
extremely active decade in

Governor before that. In some
soundings Engle even leads
by a slight margin, though
they realize also his greatest

many voters say they do not

II. however. the figures re-
main at about the same level
for another few weeks, it
will confirm the growing be-
lief that the bottom" was
actually reached during the
week Of March 10 to March
Is.
1t would be unwise for
governmental policy to be
based on the figures avail
able thus far. President
Eisenhower and his advisers
have been saying all along
that a better idea Of what
has been happening would be
available when all March
figures are at hand, and this
will not be until the middle
Of April.
There Is q natural caution
here about rushing in to
grant tax reductions on q
large scale or to set in mo-
ton any partial suspension
Of tax receipts. Democratic
leaders and the administra-
ton have q sort Of truce in
effect SO that neither side
will take the initiative but
will await q bipartisan con-
ference at q time yet to be
fixed.
On the surface this looks
as II there Is a good deal Of
high-mindedp and states
manship surrounding the is
sue. But the fact Is it is
rather an mple of
shrewdness and political
prudence on each side. For.
since the Federal treasury is
going to experience q heavy
deficit. neither party wants
to take the political respon-
sibility for plunging the
Government into q $40 bill
lion or SIS billion red figure.
Once the Eisenhower adj
ministration gives the signal
for tax reduction, the Demo-
Gratis will offer their own
plans. but they want the

He hopes to keep the sub

thus gained by sticking to
that position.
Time was when Califor-
mans expected and indeed
seemed to prefer rugged in
dividualism in their politics.
But their unique cross-filing

Since the Democrats hold the

ton. this is to their interest

The recession will sharpen

gresSional Democrats are try

600 unemployed Californians
last month, more unemployed
than at any time in the last
eight years, the recession
seems certain to be a factor
here.
The States phenomenal
growth is again shown in
the fact that even that large
number constitutes only TT
per cent Of the labor force.
The personal ambitions Of

tests here. Vice President

Drop in Workers Filing JobIess Claims
Cited as Sign Recession May Be Over

Has the bottom" of the
recession just been reached?
The Department Of Labor re-
ports that the number Of
workers laid OF and applying
for unemployment benefits
dropped 29.000--to 41O.500--
and that the volume of new
claims was lower in the week
March 10 to March Is than
for any week since last De-
cember.
This would seem to indicate
a leveling of. The total num-
Der drawing unemployment
benefits for more than a
weeks time declined by 1900.
Thirty different States re-
ported fewer claims for the
week ending March IS.
Twenty-eight States had re-
ported a decline In applica-
tons for the week ending
March 8.
The largest declines were
in New York with $500. Mich
igan with $500, Wisconsin
with 800 and Minnesota
with $500. The increases in
cluded Indiana with $500.
Texas with 5000 and Illinois
with $500. Temporary lay
offs in various industries
accounted for many Of the
requests for unemployment
insurance.
These declines on the
whole are not large. and they
are offset to some extent by
increases in other States.
But the overall picture be-
gins to look as II there is q
certain steadiness about the
unemployment chart. Recess
sions do not turn abruptly
into booms, and 1t is possible
for a spot check here and
there to still reveal some in
creases In unemployment.
Thus the Associated Press
sampled IL areas and found
that unemployment had in
creased by about 100000
from the middle of February
