Pierre Watts, when the couple ex

The bride is the daughter-of Mr.

gave her in marriage. .
For the 1 p.m. ceremony the
bride wore a ballerinaJength, dress
of pink lace and taffeta. The lace
bodice was designed with below-the-elbow
sleeves and a modified
sweetheart neckline. The skirt was
of lace with a taffeta insert bor
dered with outline embroidery in
a floral motif.
She wore a small white half -hat
with a very brief veil, and carried
a bouquet of pink carnations with
red roses. For something old she
wore on her right hand the 60-year-old
wedding ring of her grand
mother, Mrs. J. W. Quibell.
Parents of the bridegroom, Mr.
and Mrs. David L. Watts, are resi
dents of Hillsboro, Oregon, and
were here for the nuptial event.
The bridegroom's sister, Mary
Louise Watts, was maid of honor,
and Elmer Watts, the bridegroom's
brother, was best man. Both are of
Hillsboro.
Both mothers wore blue for the
Important occasion. Mrs. Bleak
wore a light blue street length
dress with a yellow gladioli cor
sageand the senior Mrs. Watts
wore a darker shade with a c o r
sage of golden-brown gladioli.
The only bridal attendant also
wore blue. Her light blue ballerina
length dress was complemented
with a white hat and pink carna
tions. Gladioli and chrysanthemum dec
orated the church, and the same
floral decor was used for the re
ception in the parish hall.

There is always a market for a
good product even though the sup
ply apparently exceeds the con
sumer demand. Proof of this is thi
outstanding success of a New Eng
land woman who invaded the neck
tie industry five years ago, when
she made her first gut necktie.
Julie Taylor is a small, bustling
New England housewife, mother of
three sons, who stitched up a gift
necktie five years ago and now has
a national business on her hands.
Today she and 50 employes turn
out 150 dozen ties a day in a con
verted butter-tub mill in Ludlow,
Vermont.
"I got bored with the usual neck
ties I saw in the stores," says
Mrs. Taylor, "so I thought I would
try making some out of unusual x
laDrics. i inea mem uui uu itinm;, t
friends and neighbors, and t h e n
took a box of them around to a
few stores in Vermont and Connec
ticut. Before 1 knew it I had more
orders than I could turn out on the
old family sewing machine."
Mrs. Taylor branched out into the
big-business bracket when she was
approached by various manufac
turers' representatives who offered
to sell her distinctive ties io stores
t.lrournoui tr.e country, ane ium
OOUgni a lariimuum; in v eimum ita
a base of operations, then moved
her business to a grist mill and
then to the larger and even more
picturesque butter-tub mill.
"I use all kinds of fabrics,"
says Mrs. Taylor "decorator fab
rics, dress fabrics, anything I can
find that looks interesting and un
usual. Many are imported, and
now I'm starting to design some
fabrics of my own.
"The first ties 1 made were special-occasion
ties designed for
wear at Christmas parties, cock
tail parties, special sports events
and so on. Then I made some ties
keyed to men's occupations, sports
and hobbies tics for golfers, fish
ermen, sailing enthusiasts, farm
ers, bankers and various other
categories. These were highly suc
cessful as gifts.
' I discovered that a lot of peo
ple were collecting the ties trying
to get one of every design I made.
That gave me the idea of making
limited editions.'
"That's why I make only a few
f each design, and turn out new
ones almost every day."
Among Mrs. Taylor's most en
thusiastic fans are her three boys
Justus, 17, Lee, 12 and Jona
than. 9.
"They think it's fine," says she,
"to have an over-normal supply
of new neckties on hand."
