HIGH SOCIETY BAN PUT ON GORGEOUS CHURCH WEDDING

Simplicity Lead Taken by Nobility BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Writer LONDON, May 13.—Court dressmaker*, florists and other luxury trades are aghast at the new fad that has been taken up lately by prominent young society people—that of doing away with the gorgeous church weddings which were the rule in London before the war. There was a time in the British capital when no young girl of prominent family would have dreamed of anything other than a very stately wedding before a very large and distinguished and splendidly dressed company of invited guests. Now simplicity in this greatest event in a girl's life is becoming the fashion. Some of the young brides hate all the fuss and bother of a big wedding. Others belong to the “neu poor” of the after-war days cf huge taxation and do not feel that they ought to saddle their parents with the cost of a very expensive wedding. Married Without Pomp The result is that some of them prefer to go quietly to the office of a registrar with just a few close friends and have the whole thing over in about five minutes. The cost is about SSO in all. A real “posh” wedding may cost anywhere from $5,000 on up. The people that this new economy hits the hardest are, of course, the dressmakers of Bond street and vicinity. Nine or ten big society weddings in a season used to mean making dresses not only for the brides and the bridesmiads, but also special dresses for the many wedding guests. Two Set Example Two of the richest and prettiest girls in British society have just recently given striking examples of the new tendency. Not so long ago it was anounced that the countess of Seafield was to be married to Derek Studley-Herbert, a young broker. Lady Seafield, who is 23, is the youngest noblewoman in her own right in Great Britain. She owns vast estates in Scotland. It was presume her wedding would be a gorgeous affair. And then not long the announcement was sent out to the newspapers that, five days before, she had been quietly married in St. Jame’s church in Picadilly, with less than a score of friends and relatives present. Only Five at Wedding But the equally pretty Lady Diana Bridgeman, the 22-year-old art student daughter of the Earl and Countess of Bradford, went even farther. One day she announced her engagement to Sir Robert Abdy, a young baronet who runs art shops in London and Paris. Three days later a party of five gathered •* Princess Row Register. Beside the bride and bridegroom, the only other persons present were the oest man and the parents of the bride Lady Diana, instead of having gone to the expense of a wedding gown, were a simple, sensible tweed suit.

HAVE KIDNEYS EXAMINED BY YOUR DOCTOR Take Salts to Wash Kidneys If Back Pains You or Bladder Bothers. Flush your kidneys by drinking a quart of water each day, also take salts occasionally, says a noted authority, who tells us that too much rich food forms acids which almost paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or rick headache, dizziness. your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. To help neutralize these irritating acids to help -ieanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days, and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. : combined with lithia. and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Balts is inexpensive; can not injur* and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink.— Advertisement. *i

‘Adam Still Would Be Loafing if It Were Not for Eve, ’ Speaker Says BY JOSEPHINE HAMMOND 'The first business and professional woman was Eve. She sold the apple idea to Adam and made him get out and hustle for his place in the sun. ii it hadn’t been for Eve, Adam still would be loafing around the garden of Eden,” Mrs. Elizabeth Sears, New York, told 1,000 mmebers of the Business and Professional Women’s Club at their annual state banquet held in the Riley room of the Claypool hotel Monday night. The meeting closed their three-day convention. Mrs. Sears, former associate editor of the American Magazine, editor of the Independent Woman, the national organ of the Business and Professional Women, and at present chairman of the public relations committee of the organization, broke quite a few toy balocns women have toted around for years. “The greatest friend a modem woman has is her powder puff. It is her best friend and her best weapon,” she told the women.

“Neither men nor women can afford to cling to outmoded trends of thought, any more than organizations can cling to outworn equipment, if they hope to become an integral part of this modern stream of human and civic consciousness that is so steadily moving today. “It is time we women stopped flauting the sentimentality of being wives and mothers. Motherhood has too long been held up as an obligation. Motherhood is a privilege. It’s a part of our jobs. The sentimental stuff has been overdone. “Men laugh at us for primping up in public, for a too flagrant our powder puffs. But show that men use as much talcum powder as we do face powder. “We women haven’t done so bad in the last forty years. We own 41 per cent of the world’s wealth and have 49 per cent of the voting power. We have an earning and purchasing power of $100,000,000 annually.” Mrs. Frost Presides Mrs. Adah O. Frost, president of the Indianapolis Business and Professional Women and new first vice-president of the state organization, presided at the banquet, j Mrs. Felix T. McWhirter was; toastmaster. Miss Merica Hoagland, who is one of the charter members of the i Indianapolis organization, gave "An Added Page of Our Memory j Book,” in which she compared the ! modem business woman to the woman for forty years ago. “The modern business women, instead of keeping the wolf from the door traps him and makes herself a fur coat.” Mrs. Maud Hollenbeck, president of the Lebanon Club, gave the response. Mrs. Bonnie Robertson, retiring president, presented the gavel to Miss Mabel E. Ward, Union City, who was elected president at the closing business session Monday afternoon. Other new officers are: First vicepresident, Mrs. Adah O. Frost; second vice-president, Miss Rose J. Self, Sullivan; recording secretary, Mrs. Bernice M. Harrison, Angola; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Grace Rape, Union City, and treasurer, Miss Lucy E. Osbcrn, Indianapolis. Report Is Given In the report of the education committee given by Miss Ward in the afternoon, it was announced the state federation has fifty clubs with scholarship loan funds, and that 139 women have been helped by the funds. Total amount of money in the scholarship budget is $10,117.71 Four cities petitioned for the 1931 convention—Ft. Wayne, Evansville Marion and Muncie. The last two named withdrew in favor of Ft Wayne.

the longer skirt, fur coats presented an almost insurmountable problem last winter. But with skirt lengths defintely established by women the world over, thefur department of this couture is working to capacity, evolving smart new models for Jack Frost's next visit to terra firma. “Sports coats of fur necessarily will be a fraction shorter than those for dress. Likewise there will be some short coats or what used to be called “fur jacquettes,” and a few three-quarter length coats. “Black will be the favored color for afternoon furs, unrelieved by any touches of color. For daytime wear, dark beige or coffee and silver grey will be featured. In the black coats, all very flat furs, such as broadtail, galliack, very soft pony and Persian lamb will be the most popular, and it is whispered that seal will find its way back to favor after its several seasons rest.” tt tt u THERE was more about fur coats in this report, which I will have to tell you in the future. In case you wonder why one speaks of fur coats for the coming winter n May, the reason is because it is interesting to know that at such an early date it is possible to predict rkirt lengths for so many months ahead. U b a Large loose trousers pleated In such v.ay that they look exactly like a skirt, and all attached to make a one piece garment out of the smartest house dress you ever saw. Then a really pleated skirt which buttons on in a jiffy over Ihese trousers, when one sits down to luncheon perhaps. And as if that weren’t enough, an adorable little capelet which buttons on at the shoulders when you go cut to do the morning shopping! That’s Dah-ray’s new idea for the modern housewives’ chic and practical outfit . . . and if you are a chic modern housewife or ever intend to be, you’ll sit down and send a 2-eent stamp to the Bare Department of The Times for the illustrated leaflet telling you exactly how to make it! a a tt a tt a An Revoir!
