should hate the attention of a reliable
physician. Large pores can be helped by
care In rinsing tho face thoroughly with

and closing the pores with applications of

Plans for Wedding
To the Editor of iroman's Page:
Dear Madam I am engaged to be married
and we are planning; to have a wedding In church
In early June, will you tell me who pays for
the church decorations, the bridegroom or the
bride's father? Also, who pays for the carriage
for the bridal party to and from the church?
Could you suggest something pretty In the way
of decorations and for tho bridesmaids' frocks?
LILLIAN
The brldo'B father (or family) pays for the
chuich decoration and for the carriages to
and from the church. In fact, the father
stands all the expenses except the wedding
ring, the clergyman's fee and the bouquets
for tho bride and bridesmaids. These are
all paid for by tho bridegroom.
June Is essentially the month of roses.
The altar and chancel Inlght be decorated
with pink and white rosea and a quantity
of green fernery. Frocks of pale blue tulle,
trimmed with silver, and hats of georgette
crepe, trimmed with moss roses, would be
very pretty for the bridesmaids. They might
carry loose bunches tit Juno roses. If you
have flower girls, let them be dressed In
dainty white frocks with pale blue sashes
and have them carry small long-handled
baskets filled with plpk roses. Floppy hats
oi legnorn, inmineu witn moss roses, would
be effective.

MY MARRIED LIFE
Bv ADELE GARRISON
How Dicky's Mother "Saw the Siohts"
"TTrlinitn shall we go first?"
VV I asked the question patiently. It
seemed to me, for the ninth or tenth time.
Ueyond saying that she wished to see some
of tho historic churches of New orlt.
Dicky's mother had given no Indication of
which particular section she wished to visit
first.
To my surprise she was ready with an
answer.
"Suppose we go to the very end of the
Island first, and come back Blowly, she
said. "I aiiijso anxious to see the harbor.
I glanced nnxlously at her wraps, which
wero warm, but not unusually heavy, We
stood Just outside the apartment, nnd I felt
tho rush of a brisk wind. Of course, the
trip down the harbor would be all right be
cause It would be made In the subway, but
T knew, as the elder Mrs. Oraham could not,
the sharpness of the ocean wind sweeping
up from the bay, and dreaded the chill for
her
nut t knew better than to make any ob
Jectlon Kven my brief association with my
husband's mother had taught me that the
price of peace In her presence was acquies
cence In her plans.
"Very well, then," 1 said "The subway
will take us there, but we shall havo to
change to an express at Fourteenth street."
"I have never ridden In the subway," she
remarked. "Thev were talking of It when
1 was In New York last, but nothing had
been done."
We made cry slow progress toward the
subway. My mother-in-law was almost
childlike In her curious Interest In the street
sights, I was surprised at her attitude, I
had Imagined from the air of unbending
dignity she had worn ever since t met her
that she would move through tho streets
flguiatlvely holding her skirts away from
the people and objects she met in her Jour
ney. POSITIVKNi:.SS A CHARACTEmSTIC
Hut she paused before every shop win
dow and looked In frankly Interested fash
ion at the dlffetent types of people cross
ing the streets. She stopped also to ex
nmlno cveiy building which gave evidence
of belonglhg to the regime of old Xew
