Beautiful Bride Is Fragrant One By ALICE HART NEA Beauty Editor A beautiful bride has a beautiful fragrance.

The beholders may be quite sure that anything that looks so pretty would just naturally have a pretty aroma, but the bride has taken care to produce this impression. First she picked a fragrance for her wedding day. She did it by "trying on" various scents and picking one she liked. She checked on her future husband's taste by wearing it a few times before the wedding. The one she picked was light and feminine rather than heavy and sultry, even though she generally may have preferred the knock-out scents.

When she had it selected, she bought matching fragrances in: soap, bath powder, sachet, cologne or toilet water and perfume. When her gown arrived, she hung a sachet pillow or scented shoulder cover on the hanger with it SO the dress would be sure to swish up the scent as she walked. She put the same scent in with trousseau to add an extra dimension. of femininity to all that loveliness. Her bath on her wedding day included fragrance, either in bath salts, bath oil or soap, After her bath, she splashed on cologne or toilet water.

Her dusting powder matched. After she dressed, she put the pure extract-perfume-on her poise spots, including the wrists, crook of the arms, throat, temples and behind the ears. And, just before she began her trip to become a wife, she used an atomizer to spray perfume all about her. Naturally, she has an aura of loveliness. She planned it that way and even feels prettier because of it.

Bits About Baby Most women, if they had their choice, wouldn't have a second baby until the first could walk. Managing two nonwalkers is difficult. But there are seats that clamp onto a carriage for an older baby to ride on. Strollers for twins come either double-sized or two clamped together along the sides. The sidebaby model has two side by side and an upper berth for the last one, There are only a few.

A twin tricycle with solid, rather than spoked wheels, is an inexpensive investment for the baby who's bored with his kiddie car. An older toddler may prefer a larger bike, with blocks atiached to the pedals; 3f baby has a sitter who comes pretty regularly, you may be an employer who should withhold and contribute toward her social security. The law has been, changed recently. Check carefully ur Nov. may break the law unwittingly.

John Theron Thorp of Wood River, as witnesses. By GAILE DUGAS NEA Women's Editor NEW YORK. Traditionally, it's the bridegroom who's nervous at the wedding. But the bride can be flustered, too, on her wedding day. Best way to prevent stage fright all around is a wedding 50 smoothly planned that there's no chance for nervousness.

A church wedding is always rehearsed, of course, when there are more than two attendants. It should be rehearsed several times so that each member of the wedding party knows his role thoroughly. It's the minister who decides, at rehearsal, which arm the bride will take as she goes up the aisle with her father. The bride and father are preceded by flower girl or page boy, maid or matron of honor, bridesmaids and ushers. Waiting are the best man, the groom clergyman.

(Bridesmaids and ushers go up the aisle in pairs only when there are equal numbers). The father goes to sit with the mother in the first pew just as soon as he has given the bride Bride and groom always go down the aisle first, followed by the bride's attendants and the ushers. If the church where you're to be married has two aisles, one may be used for the processional and one for the recessional, But if just one aisle is used for both, the second aisle goes undecorated and is reserved for the wedding guests. In any case, the friends and family of the bride are seated on the left side of the church and those of the groom on the right. In a double-ring ceremony, the maid or matron of honor has charge of the groom's ring until the right moment.

She wears it or ties it with a bit of ribbon to her bouquet. The groom may wear his ring on either left or right hand, whichever he prefers. This ring is always a gift from the bride and it need not match her wedding ring. Bride's Mother First At a formal wedding reception, the bride's mother is first in line. Next comes the father of the groom, the groom's mother and then the bride's father.

Then comes the bridal party properthe bride at the groom's right, the groom, matron or maid of honor and the bridesmalds. This line is not broken until all of the guests have been greeted. Then the bride's mother, as hostess, leads the way to the tables, If there is no bride's table, then food may be served buffet style it the menu is kept to just two courses. In this case, guests eat standing and the only essary service is for removal of plates. IF Mr.
