-- fa oN No ZA id on "A Woman's Place Woman's - World By MAIR M. MORGAN is in the Home." JUNE BRIDES During this month brides are busily planning the arrangements for their weddings and to wonder what is the "correct" thing to do. It is a trying time and the following suggestions may iron out a few wrinkles. Invitations The invitations should be issued three weeks to a month in advance for a formal wedding. The fashionable invitation or announcement is on heavy, suede-finished white paper, ob- long in shape and the lettering is shaded Roman, or in classic script. One invitation 'is never made to in- clude a whole family, Instead, an in- vitation is sent to Mr. and Mrs, John Brown Smith and one to each adult son and daughter, though it is permiss- ible to send one to the- Misses Smith and one to the Messrs. Smith. The inner envelope would then be address- ed Miss Smith, Miss Mary Smith; Mr. Smith, Mr. Arthur Smith. Unless a distinction like this is to be made between members of the same family, the inner envelope bears just the name of the recipient without ad- dress or first name. A wedding invi- tatien to a man is always sent to his home, vot to his business address. On the outer envelope, he would be ad- dressed as "Mr. James Smith," with mame of street, city and province spelled in full. The inner envelope would be addressed simply "Mr. Smith." - . A prompt reply is expected to a wed- ding invitation, whether an accept- ance or regrets, and it must be written in the same formal style as that of the invitaion. The correct form for aun invitation: Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Edward Blank re- quest the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Dor- othy to Mr. John Harold Clifford, on Wednesday, the twenty-third of June, at four o'clock, at St. Andrew's Church, Toronto. : The arrangement of the wording may safely be left to the stationer. The reply should read: "Miss Jane March accepts with pleasure the kind invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Blank to be present at the marriage of their daugh- ter on June the twenty-third." An announcement does not call for an answer or for a gift, but if you are a friend, it is quite correct to send a friendly little note of congratulation, and if you are in the same city, you should call on the bride's first day at home. . A wedding invitation or announce- ment is issued in the names of the bride's parents or in the name of one parent, if the other is not living. If the bride is an orphan.tlie invitations or announcements are sent out in the name of an aunt or older sister. Widow's Marriage If the bride is a widow, and there is no near relative to announce the marriage, the correct form is: Mr. James Brown Smith and Mrs. Edward Lane Robinson have the honor to an- nounce their marriage on Wednesday, June the twenty-third, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two, in St. Andrew's Church, Toronto. A widow, of course, never wears the conventional white satin, nor does she wear a wedding veil. . Her attire may correctly be an afternoon frock, white hat to match, white gloves and a cor- sage bouquet, or she may wear a tail- ored costume with hat to match. Duties of Bridesmaids The maid or matron of honor is usually a near relative of the bride or groom or a very close friend. She re- lieves the bride as much as possible from every care, not only on the wed- ding day, but by helping in any of the preparations. The bridesmaids have bride in the matter of dress for the wedding, and to make themselves agreeable at the wedding reception. The Best Man The groom chooses the best man and ushers, consulting his fiancee and gives them some souvenir of the occa- sion. The best man acts as the groom's right hand, sees that the re- servations for the trip are correct, that the bouquets for the bride and her at- tendants and the button-hole bouquets for the men are ordered. He also is entrusted with fee for clergyman and with wedding-ring and he sees that the carriage is ordered for the groom to go to the church and to take bride and groom to station. Who Pays? The best man has no financial re- sponsibilities other than his own gift to the bridal pair. The bridegroom pays for bouquets, gifts and wedding- fee. The bride's father pays for church decorations, music, carriage to church for bride and her attendants, and, of course, for the wedding break- fast. What Men Wear For a daylight wedindg the men in the wedding party wear black morning coat, grey striped trousers, white linen shirt with wing collar, pearl grey tie, plain black silk socks, patent leather shoes, grey suede gloves and silk hat, if the bride wears the conventional white satin and orange blossoms. If the bride is wearing her "going away" outfit or a plain, tailored costume the groom may wear a dark business suit. For evening weddings full dress is cor- rect--that is a "tail" coat, white tie and vest, white gloves, patent leather shoes, black silk socks. Nowadays, many of the younger crowd wear din- ner jackeis ~ r evening, but it is really not correct for a formal wedding. Order of Procession When the bride arrives, the groom and the best man are waiting for her at the church, with the clergyman, the best man standing at the groom's left, a little behind him. In the bridal procession, the ushers walk first, two by two, then the brides- maids in pairs, then the maid or ma- tron of honor. The flower-girl im- mediately precedes the bride, who walks with her father (or whoever is giving her away) on his right arm. As they arrive at the church, the couples divide, the ushers on one side and the bridesmaids on the other, to form a half-circle, while the bride takes her place at the left of her future husband. Her father falls a pace to the rear and the maid of honor stands at the bride's left, ready to take the bouquet and remove the glove for the ceremony. The bride and groom head the re- turn procession, nd the maid of hon- or walks with the best man, the brides- maids with the ushers. The Breakfast No matter at what hour a wedding takes place, the refreshments are usually termed the '"wedding-break- fast," and nowadays they almost in- variably consist of chicken or lobster salad, and rolls, coffee, fruit punch, ices and cake. This may be added to if desired, but jellied consomme, cold chicken and salad or things of that sort, but the first menu is considered sufficient. If, however, you are having an informal wedding, to which you have isuued only verbal or written (not engraved) invitations, you may have your refreshments served just as at an afternoon tea, with sandwiches, cakes, tea and coffee, bon bong and salted nuts. Above all, don't have too elaborate a wedding, involving much expenditure of money and time so that you are too merely to carry out the wishes of the tired to enjoy your own wedding. SILK STOCKINGS Even ten years of the silk-stocking habit have not taught the average wo- man how to take care of her own stockings. The thriftiest way to buy may be the most expensive of the moment, but it is the least costly in the long run. Never buy one pair of silk stockings if you expect them to give you fair wear have at least three pairs of the same shade, six if you have the money to spare, or even a dozen if your in- come will stand it. Women who are clever with their clothes and their dress allowances buy stockings that are the same shade for day and evening wear, Their two favorite shades are "Muddy Water" and "Pine Cone." Wash Before Wearing And here is a tip from an expert-- always wash silk stockings before wearing them. Washing improves the appearance and the durability of the mesh. The majority of silk stockings are finished with a dressing to give an attractive full gloss. Washing in- creases the elasticity of .the fabric, but leaves a dull sheen, Washing is a process for light fin- gers. Use warm soapy water, not hot; squeeze the stockings, do not wring or rub them, and rinse in clear water of the same temperature. cessful finish results from drying in the open 21d on a stocking frame. In any case omit ironing, or you will make front and back creases that only another wash will erase.

If you can it speaks well for your mental stability--and your cense of humor. If you can only laugh when the joke is on the other fellow, it means that you take yourself too seriously and the ocher fellow too lightly. That is the (rue measure of your humor--declare John J. B. Mos- gan and Ewing T. Webb (in "Making the Most of Your Life"), discussing the value and the use of humor in helping you over tke "tough spots" of life. * = * * Any one can develop a sense of humor, but you must do one basic thing in order to do so: Stop taking yourself so seriously that you cannot see the humor in any situation. Which seems pretty good advice. Also: When things become too serious look for the funny side. Be as willing to see a joke on your- self as on the other fellow. * * * * Joseph H. Choate was an adept at getting laughs at his own expense. One of the best stories was of the time a London "bobby" found him asleep, one cold, wintry night, on a bench on the Thames Embankment--that haven of rest for human derelicts. Waking him, the policeman asked gruffly: "Ain't yer got no ome?" "No, sir," replied Choate, "you see, I'm the American Ambassador." That was before the American Gov- ernment furnished an official resi- dence for its vepresentative in Lon- don. * * * * On one occasion Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia univar- sity, gave Mr. Choate a flowery intro- duction at a public meeting, referring tc him as "our first citizen." See how he turred the joke on himself: "Your President," Choate began, "accidentally, I think, dropped two words that I didn't at first under- stand. He said something about a 'first citizen,' He must have spok:n in a Shakespearean sense. Prasident Butler is a wonderful Shakespeavean senolar, and he was thinking of Shakespeare at that moment. * * * . "You remember that in many of the plays of Shakespeare, citizens ace introduced as a decoration, or fringe, to embellish the stage, and they are numbered First Citizen, Second Citi- zen, Third Citizen, and in every case, no one of them has much to say, and doesn't say that very well, but they are all equally good, one is as good as another, and they might just as well have exchanged numbers and no- body would have known the differ- ence." Which won the hearty good-will of the audience. * * * * When Calvin Coolidge was Presi- lent of the Massachusetts Senate an wngry senator compliined to him at ove session that another senator had told him to go to a very hot place. "Did you hear what So-and-so said to me a mon:ent ago?" demanded the offended one. "Yes," replied Coolidge without the semblar ce of a smile; "but I've 'ocked up the law, and you Jon't have to go." The senator's anger turned to laughter, and Coolidge kept himself from being drawn into .. silly wraagle --all because he was able to see the numor of the situation. * & * * Out walking sith little son Oliver (now grown up) on one occasion, srael Zangwill, seeing a snail in the middle of a country road, removed it humanely to the hedge. "What's that for?" asked Oliver. His father explained that if' the foolish snail continued to wander about in the middle of the road it would certainly be run over. "Then, why doesn't he get a wife to look after him?" asked the little Zellow. Zangwill "swoalle" wisibly" ith pride--as Sam Weller would say-- whenever he told that story. * * * "What makes yoa laugh at your own joke?" inquired a friend of Israel Zangwill one day when, in convivial ccmpany, that witty writer had just perpetrated a bon mot at which 2ll kad laughed, and he the loudest. 'Well," replied. Zangwill, 'hy snouldn't IT laugh? That joke was as new to me as to you." *® * ¥ * It was Maurice Barrymore--i{ather of Ethel, John and Lionel of that ilk ---who complained t.at upon his re- 'u.ning to London after a prolonged stay over here, he fot nd that he could rot get an engagement because of hav- ing acquired an Americcn accent, and that he had forsaken New York owing to a difficulty in gettiig engagements because of his English accent. "There is nothing left for me to do," he wailed, "but to spend the rest of my life giving recitations in Mid- Atlantic." * * * * Harry Preston, ia his sporting reminiscences, "Memories," credits the Rev. R. J. Campbell, famous preacher, with this one: When King Edward was Prince of Wales he met an American in Paris who asked him to have a drink. The prince politely refused. The American said: "Sir, I came from a country where every man is his own king. You are only a prince. In the name of 80,- 000,000 kings I command you to drink | with me." This so tickled idward that he at once sat down and had a drink with one of the 80,900,000 kings. -- ee 420 From the Scrapbook Add a large apple, peeled and chop- | pad, to sage and onion stuffing. It will! he greatly improved. When stewing apples, add a tea- spoonful of golden syrup instead of sugar. This makes the juice thick and sweet. Grease spots on georgette, crepe de chine, chiffffon, or other delicate ma- terials can be removed by covering them with talcum powder. - Leave on overnight and shake out in the morn- ing. A New House For 'Old Furniture Billie looked in at a crack of the barn door and whispered, "Old furni- ture--lots of it;" I peeped behind the barn. Not far away, almost hid- den by the trees, a house was being built, and coming toward us was a tall, thin man, past middle life, with the gentlest face I have ever seen. "We're interested in old houses, and they tell us you are an author- ity." I began, walking toward him, His face flushed. Anything that interested him flushed his face--it was a thermometer, tabulating emo- tions. "I'm too interested, I'm afraid," he responded apologetically. "My busi- ness and my hobby is the same--old furniture and old houses. I love 'em both. I live not so long ago in an old house back over in the coun- try. It had a beautiful old doorway and a long sloping roof and fine pro- portions. I had tried to buy it for a long, long time, but they asked me twice what it was worth. . . So now, you see, ag I couldn't get what I wanted, I'm building a new house for my old furniture. Every space in it has been planned to fit each piece. Come over and I'll show it to you--My wife, ladies." : His wife had been sitting on an empty barrel watching him plaster, and his gentleness was matched by her sprightliness. With the uncon- scious gaiety of a child she escorted us down to the cellar where a colo- nial kitchen aad been built and fur. nished, almost before any of the rest had been planned. "I wanted to be near him when he worked sp I had him finish this part first," she explained. "We have lunch here. And don't you like it? And see, there is a bedroom down here, too--and--don't you like it? All this was my idea--don't you like it?" breathlessly she talked. Yes, we liked it all, and loved them both. No house that I had ever known had been built solely for the furniture. Every piece, from the old clock to the Hepple- white sideboard, from the four- poster bed to the Chippendale tables and chairs, had been carefully meas- ured, and they both were living for the day when each treasured piece could be moved into its last new home.--From "Touring New Eng. land," by Clara Walker Whiteside, Morning { There is a youthfulness about this place and hour, The sun, halfway fulfilled, suggests the radiant flower Of noon, and yet the coolness of the morning promises It will not come too soon. The level, driving light carves out the visual world With fresh, archaic roughness, lovelier Than all the tense, climatic glory of midday, : Whose very triumph prophesies that strange decay That all the svelte seduction of the afternoon Cannot delay. --Harmon Hendricks Goldstone. Trees Adorn Welland Canal Montreal. -- Ninety thousand trees will be planted along the banks of the Welland Canal, between the power house at Queenston and the intake of Niagara River, to beautify the water- way. Planting of the trees, shipped from the provincial government sta- tion at Fort William, Ontario, has started. .
