PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1947 WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT -- Helping a Man Put On His Coat? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN an the other evening, I helped on his coat, After I did informed me that it is not Beeckman: guest was leaving our » vs, courtesy, I help any visitor on with | y his or her coat. Was this man right in what he said? ~--Carmela P. Although your intention was to be courteous in helping a man caller on with his coat, this man was right. It isn't proper for a wo- to help a man on with his coat , . . unless, of course, the visitor is a cripple or a very elderly man who obviously would welcome your help. It's kind and polite for you to help a woman visitor put on her coat . .. but a man (except in special cases mentioned above) resents this unsuitable service. When a man caller arrives, direct him to where he is to leave his coat and hat . . . and when he starts to leave, let him get them and take care of putting on his coat. Men feel very strongly about women not trying to help in such a circum- stance . . . and apparently this man is such a "rugged individualist" that he didn't mind putting you straight about this, probably figur- it was for your own good! for Her Mother's Wedding Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My mother, who is in her middle fifties, is to be married again, and we are very anxious to make this small wedding correct in every way. 'Will you please help us by answer- ing the following questions? 1. I am the oldest daughter, and Mother wants to have me as her only attendant. Is this correct . . . and customary? 2. Is it customary to have some- one give the bride in marriage at this type of wedding? To me it doesn't seem necessary or correct. Do you agree? 8. Does the best man walk down the aisle with the bride and the bridegroom walk with the matron of honor? If so, which couple goes first? And does the woman walk | at the right of the man? 4. On which side of the aisle does the bride's family and the bridegroom's family sit? 8. Since the wedding is to be such a small affair, will it be cor- rect to send announcements after the wedding? If so, who should announce it? --W.M. 1.Yes, it 1s correct for you to be Jou mother's attendant . . . and procedure is quite customary. 2. This would be proper . .. but ft isn't necessary. 3. It is not proper for the best man to walk up the aisle with the bride and for the bridegroom to walk with the matron of honor, The groom and his best man would eater the church from the vestry door at the right of the altar, in the manner customary at any type of church 'wedding, You and your mother may walk together up the aisle, or since you say there will be so few guests at the wedding, my suggestion is that your mother enter the church from the side door at the left of the altar, either with you, her attendant, or following ou. 4. The bride's family sits in the pews at the left of the aisle; and the bridegroom's family in the pews at the right of the aisle, 5. Yes, it is proper to send formal announcements of this marriage, and since the bride and bridegroom are of the mature age you mention, they make the announcement themselves. Shower May Be Given By All the Bridal Attendants Dear Mrs. Beeckman: In a wedding that is to take place in a few weeks I am going to be the maid of honor. I want very much to plan a shower for the bride-to-be. Would it be preper for me to ask the bridesmaids to join me in giving the shower? --Betty Lon. Yes . . . this is proper, and quite customary. \ WHO GIVES HOPE CHEST? Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My boy friend and I have been discussing whether or not it is prop- er for a girl to receive a Hope Chest from a boy friend, pr if it should be given to her by her mother. We would like to know if the Hope Chest should be given before or after the engagement. ; Rosita. A girl's flance may properly give her a Hope Chest, but it would be inexcusably bad taste for a girl to allow a young man who is "just a friend" to give her this gift, which is so' significant of an engagement. If the girl especially wishes to have a Hope Chest, and her fiance 'doesn't suggest 'giving it to her (even with a hint or two from her!), of course it is proper for her moth~ er to give it to her . . .'or for her to buy it for herself. Hints To "Her Children" If you daughters and sons. are old enough to "take over" cooking the Sunday dinner on Mother's Day, why not plan a surprise menu . . . simple items, please, favorites of Mother and Dad . . . do the marketing-on Saturday (either from an allowance from the family- budget or from combined contents of your piggy-banks) , . . prepare the meal as much as possible be- fore church on Sunday . . . set-the table prettily and effectively (cen- trepiece of Mohter's favorite flowers, perhaps) and with a white carna- tion at each place . . . cook the dinner . . . and plan every detail of the serving so that it is charm- ingly attended to by you. Here's a gift of loving kindness to touch a mother's heart! : (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions on "What Should I Do," submitted by readers). th a fitted coat of ool belted with gold- Le BR J TIMELESS dresses are generally essentially simple models of fine fabric, cut and handling.

STAFFORD BROS. Monumental Works PHONE WHITBY 552 318 Dundas St. EB Whitby Two Daring Does Do | Sunday Visiting Leamington, May 7--Two full- grown does, in town for an early Sunday evening stroll, leaped through a plateglass window into a plumbing shop operated - by Roy Kellow and Arthur Robinson, fell into a bath tub, leaped over a sec- ond one, and fled through a rear window. Their dignity apparently unruf- fled, they left behind small quanti- ties of hair on the jagged glass gnd shop interior. ! Tne two does were sighted by several townspeople as they mean- dered toward the town's ir. A busi- ness section. 2 The boldness of their adventure probably struck them fully on Tal- bot street, at the foot of Queen. There they met a closed street, and, forced to choose between going south or north, turned suddenly, plunged through the glass. Several passersby were attracted by the sound of an apparent melee in the shop, and were surprised to see the two fling themselves through the rear window, leap off towards Knox Presbyterian Church where they seemed to falter a moment, then leave town. It is thought the adventuresome pair were from the 'Point Pelee game reserve. It is generally conced- ed that they are back once more, telling others of the herd what Leamington's main stueets look like on a Sunday evening in spring. Bh The Movie Column By RON GADSBY Canadian Press Staff Writer It hasn't received the acclaim of "The Jolson Story" because the theme isn't as honeyed, but "The Man I Love" is proof that Holly- wood can make an honest picture, It is the story of a hard-boiled gal with a slight voice who likes to sing, but who, like many night club people, yearns for home and the fireside. Ida Lupino, who looks just "hard" enough for the part of sing- er Petey Brown, plays the role to the hilt and never once do you for- get what she is supposed to be. The picture, billed for adults, is a beautifully written piece, in the hard-boiled manner, that never slips. Sutlye "The Jolson Story," the rich, lovely songs are presented without fanfare and fit with com- plete honesty, the trail of the. plot. Who wouldn't thrill to "Why Was I Born," "Just My Bill," "If IT Could Be with You," "Body and Soul," and 'The Man I Love?" Lupino uncorks a voice that fis throaty, a little coarse but satis- fying for the songs she sings. She takes you back to Helen Morgan-- remember the riny piano-sitter?-- and she does it beautifully. All through the picture you can't forget you are watching real peo- ple, ,talking as people they are sup- Will Reside in Winnipeg MR. AND MRS.
