If the bride has no one to give her away or walk down the aisle with her, would it be all right for the bride and bride groom to walk down the aisle to gether? A. This would be all right at a house wedding. But in a church wedding it is, not done. It would be much better for the bride to walk alone and the bridegroom to wait for her at the head of the aisle. Q. When a girl enters a restu- rant with an escort, should she remove her wraps before she arrives at their table? A. No. She should wait until seated, and then her escort or the waiter should assist her. Q. When playing bridge, is a person ever justified in criticis ing the play of nis or ner part ner? A. Not unless asked outright for an opinion of the play. Us ually this opinion is not asked and to volunteer any criticism is a show of ill-breeding. Sports and games are always a good test of a person's true character. Q. Where should the hostess seat her two most important male guests at. a formal dinner? A. On each side of herself. iU SWittnrrnv Satan Ortw Sua.' Julr 1553 Cw Cr-Cj 7 ? V - - By CARL. HALL In' the slumbering brown and gold of summer day when chlor ophyll takes on a receptive tan giving fullness to growth, the ar tist who would love a tree, bush, a leaf, or field pulls impatiently his footfalls. He would leave the rectangular cement-and steel of the city, the rigidity of winter habits, to make green and yellow mulch miles in the freedom pi fields, hills and streams. ! like the fisherman, he would east a line into the moving day. As each moment, each day un folds he takes up his catch: sketches, ideas, thoughts, and memories that creep into these from another time. All of these pushed into the waiting intrica cies of lus heart, laying ue con glomerate at the mouth of a river. . ' , Painting is There ! Somewhere within the mixture a painting exists but for now there is no time. No time to sift, correlate, file and digest Con cern 4s with the living moment, with just living, with the push, pull, heave, fall and wait that na ture, presents to him. Not to miss or overlook anything is the pro blem. The defensive reflexes of a wet studio' winter are discarded. Theories, technical problems are stacked against the wall like paintings out of mind.

Perhaps be hind this hill, over this plowed field, under this bush the ulti mate meaning of things rises up, fleshy with meaning like a toad stool. Perhaps in the flight of that bird, in the heaviness of that rock, in the softness of that flow er his whole personality will find its touchstone. ' Perhaps the caress moving over the full grain is meat for him who knows. This is "Thoreau" weather, the walking, watching, waiting weath er when the days upon days give but one answer, direct and clean like a cry at birth. When our 19th century Thoreau, went to the fields and woods around Walden Pond it was with the purpose of any artist. To reduce life to the innocence and simplicity of na ture herself. For only in inno cence and simplicity is nature known and works of art conceived. The sensuous life close to nature has a godly radiance to it Like Emerson he felt himself in tune with the universe when close to the fields and woods he loved.
