Here Comes The Bride ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ IN FINGERTIP VEIL AND “ALBUM” GOWN By EPSIE KINARD NEW YORK. — For all of her speed in getting outfitted for the altar, today’s ride can be turned out in white as traditionally as an ante-bellum Southern belle, whose hoopskirted mode of dress strongly influences current fash ions. All of the dreamy materials de manded by sentimental brides— mousseline de soie, creamy satin and paper-crisp taffeta—are used to make 1945 versions of the “al bum” wedding gown with the fit ted bodice, long sleeves, and bout [ant skirt. Some of these skirts :ome straight out of New York’s musical “Bloomer Girl” to spread ;heir charms over hoops; others are as puffy with ruffles as a -humba dancer’s. Good example of the hoop, with modifications, is shown spreading 'a the white marquisette skirt of the New York-designed wedding dress (left). As sentimental as a Val entine, its lace ruffling outlines an elongated bodice, neckline and sleeves. Headdress styles for brides fea ture finger-tip veils, which either fall from a bonnet, such as the one shown, or from a circlet or pancake of fluted net. Attendants of the formally dress ed bride will be outfitted in W’hite or in soft springtime shades of aqua, lilac, pink, blue or maze, and will reflect Southern-belle in fluence in the styling of their gowns, as does the maid-of-hon or’s, shown right. Here, a sweetly old-fashioned dress of white mar quisette is trimmed with pale blue embroidered banding, and keyed to the same daguerrotype charm is a pert little bonnet that ties under the chin. Men Follow No Set Rule For Selecting Their Wives By RUTH MILLETT A “marriage specialist” recent y told a group of girls that the iignified girl is the type men mar y Now that sounds good, but the i-oung women who heard the pep alk probably won’t be too im >ressed with it if they bother to ook around at the various types >f women that men marry. For a ittle research on their own will mow them that men marry all ypes. Plenty of soft-spoken, dignified girls do find husbands. But so do many of the “pert little minxes" men instinctively whistle at— which the marriage specialist says aren't the type men marry. And so do many of the breezy, out-doors girls find husbands. And the efficient, trim, business-wom an type, as well as the glamor girls whose main interest in life is attracting masculine attention. The jitterbugs don’t seem to find it impossible to find jitterbugs to marry them. VARIABLE TASTES Even the loud, boisterous wom en seem able to get married if they want to. There doesn’t seem to be any type of girl who can’t get mar ried if she puts her mind to it. For men seem to have as variable tastes in women as in everything else. If this weren't so, why would we so often hear the question that never gets a satisfactory answer. ‘T wonder what he sees in her?” -V High frequency sound waves are used to determine the elastic ity of nylon. -V Rugs From Salvage by Alice Brooks How to make something from al most nothing: Cut up. worn gar ments, rip old sweaters apart and make into rugs for your home.

BRITISH STREAM OVER IRRAWADDY CALCUTTA, Feb. 27—(U.R)—Brit ish 14th Army tanks and armored vehicles have streamed across the mile-wide Irrawaddy river near the ancient Pagoda town of Pagan in a drive toward Burma’s rich oil fields to the south, it was announc ed today. The crossings were made against strong opposition but all counter attacks were repulsed, Southeast Asia Command Headquarters an nounced. Pagan, ancient seat of Burmese kings, 92 miles south west of Mandalay, lies north of the oil field towns of Chauk and Yenangyaung. Its capture was an nounced yesterday. When the bridgehead assault was launched, natives left their homes and took refuge in 12th century temples, idggil for protection against traillery and aerial bom bardment. Warplanes of the Eastern Air Command supported the Allied ad vance. Seven miles upstream from Pa gan, heavy fighting continued at the village of Talingen, west of Mandalay. Gurkha troops of the 20th Division inflicted severe casu alties on the enemy, the Allied communique said.

Feb. 27.— —(U.R)—Wilfred Knapp was happy when he heard he could have his fingerprints back. Judge Gustave H. Hoelscher ruled that Knapp’s request be granted. After Knapp was proven innocent of a grand larceny charge, he asked for his fingerprints, since he was not a law violator and didn’t want them on file. -V BUY WAR BONDS AND STAMPS GROUP REJ 15 LIQUOR MEASURE RALEIGH, Feb. 27 —(JP)— The Senate Finance Committee voted today to give an unfavorable re port to a bone-dry bill calling for a statewide liquor referendum six months after the war. Highlighting the public hearing of opponents of the measure, which preceded the committee’s swift ac tion, was a comment by Wilming ton’s City Attorney W. B. Camp bell, who said “we accomplish nothing but a beautifully worded statute if we vote for prohibition and as a result terrible conditions occur’* to set back the pronounced social progress made under the ABC system in the State’s 25 con trolled counties. A motion by Sen. Charles Rose of Cumberland that the aye’s and nay’s be recorded was defeated, and Sen. Rose, who introduced the measure, said he did not plan to offer a minority report. Thus, the committee turned thumbs down on one of Governor Gregg Cherry’s primary recom mendations, the first of his leg islative suggestions to meet de feat. Governor Cherry advocated a State-wide referendum both in his platform and also in his in augural address, and gave his en dorsement to the bill as presented to the Legislature. Spokesmen opposing the meas ure today voiced their wholeheart ed approval of North Carolina’s system of ABC stores. John Sprunt Hill of Durham, declaring that the ABC system helped “fight liquor with liquor,” said that control is “guaranteed in a clean and non political manners.” Assistant District Attorney Charles F. Rouse of Kinston told the committee that the evils of liquor cannot be abolished by leg islation. He said that the enforce ment of the existing liquor con trol laws is essentially a local problem and charged that the bill “makes no provision for enforce ment.” He asked that the bill be reported unfavorably and said, “we already have a workable, demo cratic system.” Calling the provisions for a refer endum six months after the war “uncertain and indefinite,” Chaun cey Leggett of Tarboro said that the boys now fighting have a right to decide the question and that they will not be hor»e in six months following the end of the war. The referendum bill, drawn by Judge A. R. Varser upon the sug gestion of the Allied Church League, provided for the prohibi tion of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors in North Carolina, including in the’ “intoxi cating” category alcohol, brandy, whisky, rum, gin, beer, ale, por ter and wine and any other bever age having an alcoholic content in excess of one half of one per cent. It left the date for the refer endum to be set by the Governor. -V New Tire Inventories Termed Grossly Light WASHINGTON, Feb. 27— m — New tire inventories are ‘‘grossly inadequate” for the warm months, the OPA reported today.
