“FRANKLY,

THE BRIDEGROOM doesn't

‘have much) to say.’

“Now don’t tell me all a man says is ‘I do’ as you have it on the cover of your new book-

get, I countered to Gordon Raeburn, L. Strauss &

Co. wedding expert in the revitalized bridegroom service department. . “The groom says more than ‘I do,’” answered Mr. Raeburn, “but we're talking about the arrangements now, aren't we?” Well, we could have been talking about arrangements. All T knew was that the groom servjce idea had me stumped. Why does a guy need help when he’s getting married? What's there to do besides getting the license and marching down the aisle? : “You know, of course you do, that formalities are coming back strong,” said Mr. Raeburn, “and with formalities there are a lot of questions.” Of course I didn’t know formalities were coming back strong. How would I know? OK, Mr. Raeburn, tell me. There was a short 10-minute wait while the expert talked to someone off the telephone. I could see how easy it would be to put him out of pusiness. Just take the telephone away from him.

What a Man Knows

IT SEEMS that during the war, clothing manufacturers weren't making formal garb such as cutaways, striped trousers and the rest of the stuff I'm not too familiar with. Just as well, too, because Mr. Raeburn was gone for 22 months dressing most of the time in combat boots instead of wing tips. : Anyway, the trend is to have the works at weddings now that the clothes racks are bulging again. Mr. Raeburn says that 90 per cent of the’

"THAT WILL BE CORRECT" —It will be correct Mr. Bridegroom if you follow Gordon Raeburn's directions. In case of trouble in your "hour of need," call the wedding man.

questions come from women. The reason for that is the women know what they want and how they want it. About all a man knows is that he’s going to get married. ] Mr, Raeburn excused himself again and gave me the high sign while he listened on the phone. “The groom and the best man wear very similar clothes,” said the groom quizmaster, “and the ushers all wear identical ties.” “People call you up for things like that?” I asked after he replaced the phone. I guess they do. A lot more besides. It isn't unusual for Mr. Raeburn to get all tangled up with some nervous male and the only alternative is to ask him to come to the second floor of the men’s clothing store. : I had the good fortune of being present when a “toughie” came over the wire. Mr. Raeburn had to ask what time. the ceremony was taking place. The man didn't know exactly. He thought it was in the morning. When Mr. Raeburn asked if it was going to be a formal wedding the man asked what he meant. A situa like that bears out what he said about the average guy only knowing that he is going to be married. The bridegroom-to-be made an appointment with Mr. Raeburn and promised to get all the pertinent facts. Don't get the idea that all questions and services are taken care of at the store or by phone. No sir. Mr. Raeburn is prepared to go to the ne if necessary. If he's all tied up, he has plenty of assistants.

Pop Knows Answers

FOR INSTANCE, if a bridegroom doesn’t know his right foot from his left and needs help quick, Mr. Raeburn will set his feet straight. He'll even put the right shoes on the right feet. Say a man gets into trouble with his ascot. Everyone is waiting at the church and Mr. Groom is in a dither at his bachelor quarters ready to take poison if his next attempt at tying the thing fails. All it takes is to call to LI-1561 and words

such as, “Ugh-—need help—getting married— can't tie ascot—S8SO0S—come quick.” Groom Service will be off to the rescue.

Listening to Mr. Raeburn talk about wedding details is comforting in itself. He rambles on about semi-formal day weddings, formal weddings, informal country weddings, formal day weddings, bachelor dinners and other things as if there wasn't a thing to them. A bridegroom would do well to talk to Mr. Raeburn to get his spirits up. “There's really nothing to getting married,” said Mr. Raeburn. “Are you married?” What a question. Not only is Mr. Raeburn married, but he's been married for 13 years with three boys to prove it. - He doesn't know whether his 20 years of experience at Strauss had anything to do with it or not but he is happy about his three, boys. There is a threesome who aren't going to worry about what to wear and when. Pop knows the answers.

Smart Monkeys

»

NEW YORK, July 6—We have been down to see Trefflich’'s new bahy, and, as always, went away with’ the feeling that monkeys are a lot smarter than we are. It is unnecessary.to add here that Trefflich—born Heinrich, in Hamburg, Germany—is in the monkey business. You may remember reading about Henry's monkeys. He mislaid 150 of them a couple of years back, here in New York, and a lot of solid business executives, in the Wall St. sector, suddenly quit drinking. ¥ Fat tycoons, sliding secretaries off their laps, in order to convene the merger meeting of Dessicated Copper and Benighted Steel, suddenly observed rhesus monkeys walking up and down the boardroom tables. They did not know, at the moment, that a covey of Henry's monks had broken jail. They began to mumble prayers, and to regret their records in the Widow & Orphan League. ' Henry finally caught most of his monkeys, after a week or so of nerve-shattering experience around town, but the cops have not loved him since. And at least one resident of Connecticut is still on the wagon as a result of waking up in a parked car with one of Henry's vagrant apes, Mr. Trefflich is in the monkey business as .a labor of love. He imports scads of them, annually, and it breaks his heart a little when he has to sell a favorite. : His father was in the monkey business, back in Hamburg, and since he was a fuzz-chinned youth, Henry has admired monkeys. It is a considerable source of annoyance to Trefflich that his young son dislikes monkeys, and Is also allergic to animals in general.

Has an Inferiority Complex

HENRY'’S newest baby, down in his Fulton St. shop, is a ‘nine-months-old orangutan named Jiggs. Jiggs just blew in from the east, chaperoned by a young lady named Jean. Jean also escorted a few dozen pythons, which fill Henry's soul with bliss. Jiggs, the baby orang, is completely adjusted to American civilization. He likes the present climate in New York. He admires blond ladies, is fond of costume jewelry, weeps seldom for the

steaming Sumatra jungle, eats his head off, and worships his own fat tummy. I might say that Jiggs looks like Victor Moore, and has a belly on him that an old-time alderman might envy. It gives you a little shock to realize that this 18-pound baby will someday grow up to be a six-

foot, 500-pounder who will pull your arm out of |i

thé socket if you poke your hand in the cage. But we are losing sight of Trefflich. Treflich is the only man I ever knew who has an inferiority complex about monkeys. After a long afternoon of talking’ to monkeys—Treflich speaks a beautiful brand of chimpanzee—he goes home and -worries about what the monkeys think of Treflich.

Monkeys Sit in Big, Cool, Cage “I LOOK at them, sitting in the cages,” says Trefflich. “They look at me. Then I begin to wonder who is smart, me or the apes. “Here am I, day after day, beating out my brains taking care of monkeys. I feed monkeys, water monkeys, treat them when they're sick, talk to them, pet them and worry about them. “While I am losing more money than I make in the animal business, the monkeys sit back in a big cool cage, eat bananas, and think what a jerk Trefflich is. ' “Sometimes I wish I am a monkey.” Trefflich is a perpetually harassed man. Either the chimps are coming down with neurosis and

Or the snakes are dying. Or Phil Carroll, his partner in Africa, is sending back batches of expen-

dollar dinners.” But Henry, who has spent most of his life with animals, loves even the trouble. He found a 16foot python in a box where he expected a 12footer, and it was if an ordinary man had stubbed his toe on a 20-karat diamond. He opens a cage, a young lady chimp jumps out, and murmurs love talk into his ear. “Hugh-hugh-hugh-screeeeek,” says the chimp. “Huh-hugh-huh-yowl,” says Henry, kissing her tenderly.

Who Hates Who? By Frederick C. Othman

WASHINGTON, July 6—Maybe those Yugoslavians ought to quit frying their pork chops in opium oil. Possibly they should go a little easier on the cherry brandy, distilled with honey, cherry Pits and a few leaves off the trees. Or all is confusion in the land of the Serbs, the Croats and the Slovenes. Always has been. ! Take the capital, Belgrade, meaning white castle. The castle’s still there, except that it's a Jail and colored dark red. . More battles have been fought at Belgrade than anywhere else. The town's famous also

He'd make a wonderful] mystery movie, which the 20th Century-Fox Filth Corp. wouldn't touch With the limb off a Yugoslavian mulberry tree. This firm a while back made a big-time movie about the valiant Chetniks and their fight against the Nazi invaders. The film hardly was released before Marshal ito, an ex-iron-monger who'd worked his way up, said they were a bunch of bums. He was our pal and 20th Century-Fox quickly withdrew its Chetnik movie. We sent Tito millions in UNRRA relief goods; next thing we knew he was shooting down our fying machines for the crime of flying over his country. Then he joined up with the ComMunists and that made Tito a bum, too.

When pressed out with the aid of heat, this oil is used for painting houses; a bug which lands on a wall painted with opium oil is a goner. When the oil is pressed out cold, the Yugos use it for frying meat, mostly pork. What effect this has on the population I do not know, but I could hazard a guess.

First of Two Articles

. By DONNA MIKELS “Leaflets three, DON'T let it be.” That's the newest twist on the old axiom on poison ivy these days. For the first time since the

poisonous vine began plaguing #8 early American colonists, a more sound plan than just avoiding it is being proposed both in Indiana and nationally. ~ There is no longer any excuse for poison ivy staying alive. Two warborn chemicals, 2,4-D and Ammate, will make it possible to clear Indianapolis, Marion County and the state of the menace. The Indiana state entomologist's office is suggesting use of these two chemicals both in large scale war on poison ivy on farms and the country side and individual sprayings in vards and gardens by homeowners. ”

= . FIGHTING poison ivy, however, requires the co-operative

efforts of the whole community. It is worthy of such community effort because it constitutes a potential menace to everyone in the community. Little children cannot recognize the vine as an enemy as they wander the woods, scramble over fences and climb trees. Older children may be taught the “leaflets three” warning but § in the excitement of play they forget. Even adults fail to recognize or see the vine and get into trouble. No one is immune from the blistering, itching rash the harm-less-looking vine causes. Lise - » NEITHER is it safe to be on the lookout for poison ivy only on Sunday outings in the woods.
