Wedding Story Advice
Offered by Reporters
By OLIVE ST ARCHER
women g Editor
Is there a wedding coming
Up in your family? If this is
the case, the following article
will have information of in
terest to the bride, the bride
groom and their families.
In Oregon, as in most parts
of the United States, engage
ments, weddings and the so
cial events which are part of
these happy occasions are im
portant social news. Almost
all newspapers give consider
able coverage to them, and
The Medford Mail Tribune is
pleased to follow this custom.
Wedding Questionnaire
In order that this coverage
may be accurate, complete and
of a nature to please every
one, certain do's and don'ts
must be taken into considera
tion. The Mail Tribune uses
a wedding questionnaire, and
these are mailed to the bride
or her family upon request or
when the news of coming
weddhijs comes io the atten
tion of the women's depart
ment. Whenever possible,
these should be filled out by
the bride or some family
member delegated to the task,
before the wedding takes
place in order that both fam
ilies may check the informa
tion before it is released.
After the marriage cere
mony has been held, the ques
tionnaire should be returned
to The Mail Tribune at once
-certainly within a week.
Newly married couples who
take wedding trips of two or
more weeks should under no
circumstances wait until re
turning to bring the story to
the newspaper. A mother, an
other relative or a close
friend properly takes care of
this task.
Submit Stories Immediately
The matter of submitting
the information as quickly as
possible cannot be over-stressed.
News literally means
"new" and a story held for
two, three or four weeks is
considered "old" by all news
papers. Many refuse to pub
lish such stories.
Correctly, all names used
In connection with a wedding
are the full, formal names
of the persons; social custom
frowns on the use of shorten
ed forms, nicknames and the
first names of women who
are married. Questionnaires
or other wedding information
must be signed. Engagement
and wedding stories are never
taken over the phone.
Almost all newly married
couples and their families are
anxious to have pictures used
with the wedding stories, and
The Mail Tribune is pleased
to publish these. However, the
engraving process is a com
plex and lengthy one and
only bla"k and white glossy
prints with considerable de
tail result in completely sat
isfactory newspaper pictures.
Most small pictures taken by
amateurs are unsatisfactory,
and many colored pictures
cannot be converted into a
metal engraving is; publica
tion. Picture! for Newspaper
When a qualified photogra
pher is engaged to take wed
ding pictures, he can be trust
ed to select a print for pub
lication and deliver it to the
newspaper. Experience has
proven that a capable pho
tographer is a better judge of
suitable pictures than are the
subjects themselves or their
families. Under no considera
tion should the fi:nily with
hold a questionnaire until
proof.- or prints can be seen;
confi r with your photogra
pher and then trust his judg
ment. If a traditional engagement
story, with a picture, is to be
published it should be done so
at least two months in ad
vance of the wedding. Many
etiquette books say six
months is more suitable.
If the wedding is to be
within a month or so, the
family should submit a story
which announces the coming
marriage, giving the date,
place and other pertinent in
formation. If a picture is used
with this story, it is under
stood that no wedding picture
will be used.
Check Information
Bridal couples and their
families are cautioned against
second- hand information
about newspaper require
ments and the services of pro
fessional photographers, print
ers, engravers and bakers.
Call these establishments and
gather first-hand information.
It may be perfectly true that
the bride down the street paid
a large sum for her wedding
pictures, but this does not
mean that all photographic
coverage is equally expensive.
A family can pay $75 or more
for a wedding cake, but under
other circumstances suitable
cakes can be supplied for
much smaller sums.
Reporters in the women's
department will be happy to
discuss engagement, party
and wedding stories either
over the phone or at the office.
Perfect attire for the moth
er of the bride for an in
formal evening wedding is a
street length cocktail dress
with a small, llowered hat or
veil.

Chicago - (UPIt - The bride's
linens should be selected wtih Monday, June 4, at the mcet
the following points in mind, ing of the Westminster guild
the American Institute of
Laundering advises.
When purchasing terry-
cloth towels, feel and pull
them at different points to
make sure all section stretch
evenly. Uneven tension in the
weaving process can cause
towel parts to pucker or be
come distorted after launder
ing.
Look also, for close, large,
full, fluffy and thickly-packed
loops.
Cotton sheets come in two
basic types, muslin and per
cale. Muslin is a utility-type
sheet that is heavier, less ex
pensive and generally longer
wearing than percale. Percale
sheets are lighter and feel
smother than muslin.
Be sure the sheets selected
are standard sizes. A double-
bed sheet, for example, should
be at least 90 by 108 inches.
