flower-Edged Hats, Parasols,
Latest Wedding Innovations
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
PROSPECTIVE brides and bride-
1 grooms usually plan the floral
color schemes for the wedding party
together, since the groom is respon
sible for the bouquets carried by
the bride and her attendants.
Fashions in fresh flower arrange
ments promise brides of summer
1941 the utmost in beauty. White iris
combined with white gladioli in a
bridal bouquet tied with lace will be
a favorite for the early summer
wedding and orchids, lilies, roses,
stock and sweet peas in modern or
ojd-fashioned bouquets will be in de
mand for bridal parties throughout
the summer.
Whether a wedding emulates one
of the periods of past history or
anticipates next year’s styles, there
are enchanting headdresses and
bouquets that any bride will de
light in selecting. Corsages of lilies,
: fragrant carnations and roses with
rose geranium leaves as a back
ground are quaint looking. Carna
tions, used in modern scroll arrange
ments, make a bouquet that even
the most budget-minded bride can
afford.
Huge arm bouquets of fragrant
stock and snapdragons are lovely
for both the bride and her attend
ants in a garden wedding, and
these same flowers,may be used to
fashion crown-like bonnets. Gladi
oli blossoms are another favorite
flower choice for outdoor weddings.
These flowers in white would be
lovely for the bride, while deep
ishades of tangerine and fuchsia or
the more delicate coral pink will
blend beautifully with summer pas
tels.
Flowers sure to bring ohs and ahs
of admiration are parasols of deli
cately colored sweetpeas. Carried
in a garden wedding, tiny nosegays
of the same flowers should be re
served for the bridemaids. Bonnets
of blossoms are new, too. Carna
tion petals fashion them, with ifride
brims of flattering tulle. A Mary-
Queen-of-Scots bonnet might have
the heart-shaped brim outlined with
tiny sweetheart roses.
Garlands, rather than bouquets of
white blossoms, are another new
note in bridal flowers. Painted
daisies, cornflowers, blue iris or
bright pink carnations make en
chanting garlands for the attend
ants.
The bride who wears her going-
away frock for the' 1 ’ceremony may
prefer a corsage to a hand bouquet.
Orchids, gardenias and sweetpeas in
modern scroll arrangement give a
luxurious note to an otherwise sim
ple costume. Tailored corsages,
tied with bows of green leaves, are
still another innovation for the in
formal wedding. Since the bride’s
mother shares the limelight with the
wedding party, her flowers are im
portant. The flattery of deep blue
iris would be lovely with any soft-
toned frock.
As effective as heirloom lace is
the scalloped, hand-patterned lace
fabric used for the youthful bridal
dress pictured. Style-important fea
tures in the gown pictured are the
flattering round neck; the full puffed
sleeves; the quaint, fitted bodice
that buttons down the front, empha
sizing a snug waistline; and the full
skirt. The dress has a long train,
and because it is so beautifully pat
terned, the veil is a short one, edged
with a band of the same lace as
that in the skirt. The bride’s bou
quet is of roses and white snap
dragons.
Delicate pink sweetheart roses,
worn as a corsage, are matched by
wee roses outlining the Mary-
Queen-of-Scots bonnet worn by the
bride’s attendant. The pale pink of
the blossoms contrasts beautifully
with the deep periwinkle blue of
her chiffon frock.

White With Color
White with a splash of daring
color is an important style message
for summer. The white flannel out
fit here pictured tallies perfectly
with this idea. The white skirt has
a red and white polka dot blouse,
topped with a white flannel jacket,
belted at the waistline. White pig
skin bag, doeskin gloves and chic
white hat complete the ensemble.
Alluring Veils
The National Geographic Society
says the women of America wear
more veils than the women of
Turkey. Easy to believe if you notice
the clouds of veiling—pink, white,
red, green, black and brown—which
will continue to soften the fashion
scene, right through summer.
The newest use for veils is to tie
them about the crowns on big-
brimmed hats and let them drip
down the back.
Big brims are really big this sea
son, up to nine inches. Usually soft,
not stiff, in outline—made of rippled
black organza, champagne-colored
straw, chicken wire white straw,
and shirred red felt.
Telltale Sleeves
Sleeves are telltales this season.
So complete has been the change in
sleeve treatments that they definite
ly tell the newness of your dress,
your coat or blouse. The new silhou
ette is achieved through deep arm
holes and smooth shoulders.
In softly styled dresses of sum
mery silks and cottons the latest
news is short sleeves, mere shoulder
caps in many instances. In sleeves
that are longer there’s fullness below
the elbow.
Color on Color
Very new is the color-on-color
treatment that designers are carry
ing out in summer sheers. The new
nylon sheers, especially, lend them
selves to this technique in that
they are thin almost to the point of
transparency. Black over pink is a
favorite combination, navy over red
is effective, and orchid over pink oj
light blue is Invalv fnr evening.

Saved by a Chalk Mark
A MERICANS remember Thomas
Paine as the man who, with his
pamphlets, did as much as many a
general with his sword to win the
American Revolution. They re
member that his “Common Sense,”
published January 10, 1776, was an
unanswerable argument for the in
dependence of the rebellious English
colonies.
But they remember most of all the
immortal words with which he be
gan “The Crisis, No. 1”:
“These are the times that try
men’s souls. The summer soldier
and the sunshine patriot will, in this
crisis, shrink from the service of his
country; but he that stands it now,
deserves the love and thanks of
man and women. Tyranny, like hell,
is not easily conquered; yet we have
this consolation with us, that the
harder the conflict, the more glori
ous the triumph.”
What they do not remember, per
haps, is that Paine’s service to the
cause of human liberty did not end
y‘
THOMAS PAINE
with the successful conclusion of the
American Revolution. Although the
fight for freedom had been won on
this continent when Cornwallis sur
rendered at Yorktown, it was still
being waged in other parts of the
world. So Paine went back to his
native land, England.
One hundred and fifty years ago
this year, he published the “Rights
of Man” in reply to Burke’s “Reflec
tions on the French Revolution.”
For this he was outlawed by the
court of the king’s bench, so he went
to France where the Revolution had
overthrown the Bourbons and where
he was hailed as a hero.
In fact, he was elected to the
National convention but his repub
licanism was not strong enough to
please the Jacobins. So when he
opposed the execution of King Louis
XVI and urged instead that the
monarch be exiled to America, the
Jacobins expelled him from the con
vention.
When Robespierre came into
power Paine was thrown into prison
where he was kept for a year in
constant fear of death. Listed
among those who were to mount the
steps of the guillotine, he escaped
by that fate by a strange freak of
chance.
One morning the keeper of the
prison went along the corridor plac
ing chalk marks on the doors of
those who were to be executed that
day. It so happened that the door
to Paine’s cell was open and pushed
back flat against the wall of the
corridor. In the darkness of the
gloomy old prison the keeper failed
to notice this and put his chalk
mark on the inside of Paine’s door. ^
Thus when the door was finally
closed the guards passed it by when
they came to lead the other prison
ers to their doom.
Paine was finally released through
the efforts of James Monroe, United
States minister to France, and re
sumed his seat in the convention. H
He lived to see the revolutionary i
cause betrayed by Napoleon Bona- 1 ,
parte, who had once visited him and K
flattered him by saying “A statue
of gold ought to be erected to you in
every city of the universe.”
Paine returned to the United States
in 1802 and settled down on a farm
in New York state which had been
given him in recognition of his serv
ices to the Revolution. Later he
moved to New York and died there
in 1809.
He was first buried on his farm
at New Rochelle but a few years
later William Cobbett, the English
radical, removed his bones to Eng
land with the hope of increasing en
thusiasm for the republican ideas
of which Paine had been the prin
cipal exponent.
Cobbett placed the coffin in the
attic of his home at Normandy
Farm in Surrey. After his death "
in 1835, the coffin disappeared and
no one knows what became of it.
* • *
Meanwhile the Thomas Paine
National Historical association had
been formed in America and Mon
cure D. Conway, its first president,
began a search for Paine’s remains.
In 1900 he obtained in London a
small portion of Paine’s brain. Wil
liam M. Van Der Weyde, the next
president, next took up the search
and secured several locks of Paine’s
hair. But what became of the re
mainder of what was once Thomas
Paine is still a mystery, although it
is believed that he was secretly
buried in England in the seventies.
