QUAINTLY PICTURESQUE

BRIDAL GOWN

Or One Modern As A Streamlined Train!

NEW YORK-This fall's bride may march to the flower-trimmed altar in a gown as quaintly picturesque as an old-fashioned garden or she may wear one as modern as a streamlined train. There are no set rules about the type of wedding dress she should choose. She can set her individual taste be her guide.

When it comes to the subject of culour, however, convention steps in and decrees anew that white's the thing for the bride who plans formal wedding. She can dress her attendants in any or several colours that please her and are becoming to them, but she'll do well to remember that the smart est brides pick plain white for themselves.

BOUFFANT FROCKS

It's a new idea to put the maid of honour and the bridesmaids in coples of the wedding gown itself. For instance, a bride in à bouffant dress might have her attendants wear bouffant frocks exactly like her own except that theirs would be in colours-her's in white.

Ranee Of Sarawak Talks About Far Eastern Hostilities

#

The Rance of Sarawak, wife of the world's only white Rajah, told me on board the Rawalpindi when it stopped at Penang: "I think Bob Gregory hates me." writes a Penang correspondent.

Bob Grècory, all-in wrestler, is married to one of the Ranee's daughters, and her actual words to me were "Mrs. Bob Gregory is still in Hollywood, but she has not yet written to me, probably due to Gregory, who, I think, hates me.”

The Bob Gregorys were married without the Rajah's consent.

"I want to make it quite. clear," added the Banee, "that the Kajah and. E are very happy, and there is no ques- tion of any separation. That. rumour was first started by the newspapers.” Referring to the recent crisis 17 Europe and the Munich Agree- ment, the Ranee said:
