Girls who plan to wed in the mar- j rying month ot June, this year | seem to want to look even more! like angels than peacetime June brides did. Maybe the reason is just that! they know they'll have to keep their feet on the ground and be j self - reliant wives, in wartime, j Whatever it is, the traditional wed ding gown is what they’re wearing. ”. . . white wedding gowns, too,” the bride's consultant in a Fifth Avenue's store told me. "A far greater proportion ol them insist on the symbolic color. That’s the news—that and their haste. ‘‘They almost flabbergast us. Three days is the average time they allow for getting everything. | Yet we manage.” Even furlough brides, whose an Army or Navy man’s weekend leave at an uncertain date, are wearing white wedding gowns. These are selected and tilted, then they hang in the closet, ready to be put on at a moment’s notice, whenever the leave begins. Some times the girl chooses a formal costume for the wedding, for which she and her one attendant will travel across the country to the fiancee’s post. That is all awry—by peacetime standards. And many consultants and authorities in taste advise an informal wedding and an informal costume for the light, pretty, soft ensemble. It may be an afternoon dress, streetlength, in filmy lace, or lace and something else like rayon or organdy or even pique. Better still, the exquisite suit which will be simply and supre mely lovely with a white, frilly hat and flowers, and will become her ummistakably right traveling costume when she changes her hat. Outstanding designers are doing such clothes in extremely unpre tentious manner. One well known house, lor instance, proposes cot ton crepe wedding suits —corn yel low for the bride, periwinkle for her mother, both with matching draped hats of the same cotton fabric, both pretty, too. But war psychology has a rough way with peacetime conventions and so it looks as if the June bride of 1942 can wear anything that suits her and the bridegroom. Par ticularly, she can have the formal wedding without every last cere monious and costly detail observ ed. There’ll be precious little com ment, this year, if the invitations and announcements are handwrit w y For fresh, delicious biscuit That you can serve with pride— Just make the red Nabisco Seal Your daily buying guide! BAKED BY NABISCO • NATIONAL JBISCUIT COMPANY ten instead of engraved, if the sec ond envelope is missing, if she marries at church formally but merely pauses at the steps and greets her friends instead of hav ing a reception. Double - duty bridal gowns are very popular. There are more practical when they are in color, as some of the prettiest new ones are. There is, for example, a blue organdie gown for a garden wed ding — cascades of ruffles down side of skirt, coronet of organdie holding the bride’s veil, and or gandie streamers from the bou quet of garden flowers. The dress would be a summertime dancing dress for the duration. Shorter veils and shorter trains are outstanding characteristics of New York creations for the tradi tional wedding. The princess line silhouette, the basque bodice, the elongated torso and the bouffant skirt make them memorable. Mousseline, dotted swiss. net and lace are favored materials, espe cially to be used for general wear after the wedding day. A great many girls are chosen to economize by selecting a sim ple, inextensive bridal dress to wear and put away, and in this group the fabric of the moment seems to be a rayon sheer with raised floral design. MIND YOURMANNERS Test your knowledge of correct Social usage by answering the fol lowing questions, then checking against the authoritative answers below: 1. Now that everyone is trying to save tires, is it necessary to drive clear around a block in or der to let someone off on the right side of the street? 2. If you visit overnight a per son who has room for but one car in his garage, should you permit him to let his car sit out while you put yours in the garage? 3. When a husband and wife are together in a car and one of them has to get out to mail a letter, should it be the husband or the wife who runs the errand? 4. If a man and woman are walk ing in the rain and the woman has an umbrella should the man carry it? 5. Is it good manners to insist on a person’s doing something he seems reluctant to do, such as making a speech or being chair man of a committee? What would you do if— A person writes you a letter wanting information which you cannot give him and he encloses an addressed, stamped envelope for a reply— (a) Answer his letter, telling him that you cannot give him the in formation? (b) Don’t bother to answer the letter since you can’t give him the information he requests? Answers 1. No. Not unless it is raining. 2. No. 3. The husband, unless there is no place to park and he must drive around the block while the letter is being mailed. 4. Yes. 5. No. The person who won’t take "No” for an answer is usually a nuisance.

Aunt Minnie Regrets: Her House Is No Country Boarding House By RUTH MILLETT NEW YORK, May 12. Are you half-way planning on sending the kids to visit Aunt Minnie for a couple of weeks this summer because you think all children should have the experi ence of living on a farm Well, maybe you had better wait for Aunt Minnie to ask them, in stead of just taking it for granted she would like to have your small fry pushed off on her. Before you ,■write Aunt Minnie saying that you’ll put the children on the train next Tuesday and for her to be sure, and meet them,. it might be a good idea for you to read a letter one “Aunt Min nie” wrote me the other day. Here it is part: ‘‘I have been praying that you would hit on the subject of the city woman who moves to the country, having Ruth Millett to get accustomed to doing with out most modern conveniences, etc.—and the inevitable result. “All the kinfolks from one end of the U.S.A. to the other just can’t seem to keep from dropping in at any time for a visit—short or long. “I get a telegram at nine a.m. to meet the noon train—six rela tives are arriving. “Sister Bertha from Boston v/rites: “If we are bombed can I ship the kids out to you?” (There are five of them.) “Cousin Pauline, who did not know me very well in town, tells Mother she wants to ‘run down some day and have a good old gabfest with Minnie.’ ‘I m sure I don’t know what we d gab about. I hardly know her, but her two youngsters no doubt would make a wreck of me, keeping them from drowning in the run and away from the stock, etc. Grandmas and uncles and aunts, well meaning and kind, but how they love to drop everyth' g and drop in on me. The round of a country woman is a nightmare if she has a bunch of relatives “It’s a round of meals. Kill a couple of chickens, fire up th" range, change the beds for over night. Forget about the garden to be hoed, the limas you want to pick and cold pack—you have com pany. It is not that my husband and I are not hospitable. But we moved onto this place that needed so much repair and we have had to work day and night to make it go. And now that my husband is working in a distant defense plant, I am desperate. So please don’4 spare any punches and give the country women a break in your column — or we shall be swamped again this summer.” Sculpture And Etching Works Of Norma Croom Displayed At College GREENSBORO, May 14.—Open ing Friday at Woman’s college in connection with the “at home” planned for visitors to the campus in honor of the 50th birthday of the institution will be the annual exhibition of student art work in Elizabeth Mclver Weatherspoon gallery, McFuer building.
