And then there is the often baffing prob- lem of who pays the various expense: Let me say immediately that the bride's parents bear almost all the expense. One thing that should be remem- bered is that rules governing the dress of a bride and her maids have one marked dissimilarity when the ceremony is at a church to those when it is held in a house, or in a banquet suite of a hotel. At a church wedding the bride wears a veil. If the conven- tional wedding costume of white is not worn, but a going-away or after- BEDTIME STORIES A thing to you important may To me be quite the other wa: Jumper the It didn’t take Peter Rabbit long to find out that little Mrs. Peter had no thought or time for anybody but the little babies which made Hare.

The bride or the bridegroom (custom varies in localities) pays for the bouquets carried by the bridesmaids and the boutonnieres worn by the ushers. In many places the bride pays for the boutonnieres, while the bride- groom pays for the bridesmaids’ flowers. In others the reverse is true. The bride may (and she usually does) present her maids with souvenirs and the bridegroom gives some tokens to his best man and ushers. These ma; sin but should al ways be personal gifts, such as rings, chains, fans, ete., for the maids. Cuff links are favorite souvenirs for ushers. The bride pays for the wed- ding ring for the bridegroom when the double ring service is used. The bridegroom pays for every item of expense incurred on the trip, begin- ning with the conveyance for himself and his wife from the house to the station, unless a machine is placed at his disposal for the purpose.

Aladdin and his mother were so poor that they decided to sell the lamp to buy food. But when they started to polish it to make it look prettier another genie even more hor- rible than the ring genie appeared before them. “What dost thou wish?” he asked. “I and the other slaves of the lamp stand ready to serve thee.” From then on whenever Aladdin or his mother was in need of anything they had only to ask the genie of the amp and immediately it was theirs.

DEAR MISS DIX: My husband and T have been married 23 years. T am several years older than he. I was kind to his mother during a long illness. and out of gratitude to me, and because his mother desired it, he married me. I knew that he did not love me, but I loved him as I never thought I could love any one, and have loved him more every day. He has been good, kind and considerate, and supported me well, treating me as a sister. Now he has met a woman he loves, and who loves him. She is a fine. superior woman, fitted to be his mate. He has told me about it frankly and asked me to give him his freedom, offering to provide for me financlally. 1 have refused, because 1 love him so I cannot bear to leave him, but his health is failing rapidly under the strain and worry, and I feel like a murderer as I look at him growing thinner and more broken day by day. What do you think I should do BROKEN-HEARTED WIFE. Answer: It seems to me that your duty is clear. It is to give him up. Set him free, and let him find what happiness he may for the balance of his life. You say you love hing but you have not loved him well enough to be unselfish to him. Throughout your whole relationship you have con sidered your own happiness and not his. If you had not yourself supremely, you would never have married him in the first place. You knew when you did so that you took advantage of his generosity to bind him to You in a marriage that coyld bring him no real joy, that would always be a bondage into which he had sold himself. He has given you 23 vears of faithful service, of duty nobly done, and now you should repay him by making the sacrifice he asks of you. Your case is different from that of the woman whose husband is a philanderer, who has passing infatuations for every pretty face, and who roams from flapper to flapper. That type of man nearly always comes back to his wife in the end, and whatever real affection he has in him he gives to her. But vour hushand is of a deeper and more serious nature than the philanderer. He will not change. He has never been your lover. He will never be. You will not lose him any more by giving him up than he is lost to you now. For two people can sit at the same table, and sleep with their heads on the same pillow, and yet be as far apart as if the world divided them. And to keep the body when the spirit of love gone is like keeping a festering corpse about the house. It poisons the air of the home. You will not be as unhappy separated from your husband as you are now holding him against his will. For one thing, you will have shrived your con science, and for the first time since you married a man knowing he did not love you you will be able to look your soul in the face. And, for another thing, a great peace comes with finality, with having done with all the arguing pro and con, the hopes, the fears, the indecisions. Having once taken the fatal step, you will cease to worry over it, and be one of those overanxious mothers who never allow children out of their sight.. She takes them to school and brings them back. She never allows them to mingle with other children, or even to play in her front yard for tear they will learn something bad. Don't you think these children should have the pleasure of companionship, even if they are thrown with children who are not perfect little angel: ANXIOU NTIE. er think that she is going to be able to go dren by the hand and protecting them from every difficulty and danger? Does she think that she can make a little sterilized, immaculate world free from all temptations and purified from all wrong, in which her children will exist when they grow up? How does she think that they are ever going to be able to take care of themselves or stand on their own feet? How are they to judge people if they are never permitted to know any one? How are they to ow right from wrong? Answer: Does your si through life holding her c! No mother in the world makes such a mistake as the one whose over. love and overanxiety make her keep her children in perpetual leading strings. She unfits them utterly for life. She makes them soft where she should have hardened their muscles. She makes them weak where she should learn to fend for ourselves. A wise mother lets her children run risks, o that they may learn how to rely on themselves. She lets them make mistakes, so that they can profit from them, and so acquire judgment and wisdom. She does not try to keep from them the knowledge of evil. She shows them that badness does not pay Any mother who doesn’t let her children assoclate with other children does them an frreparable wrong, because the knowledge of how to.get along With other people is the most important thing that any man or woman can have. The education that children get from other children in school is just { as important as anything they learn out of books. Children teach each other { how to give and take, how to play fair, how to be good sports, and that is something that serves them as long as they live. g A child is better off with no mother at all than to have an over anxious mother, who takes it to school every day and segregates it from other children.
