Registry For Brides Now Back In Use All friends and relatives of the bride will be pleased to know that use of the bri- dal gift registry is on the rise again, after years of virtual nonexistence. The registry, offered at many fine department stores, is a free service that every bride-to-be and her fiancé should take ad- vantage of soon after their engagement is announced. With a trained consul- tant for assistance, you and your fiancé can choose various styles of table settings, linens and kitchen items for your future home. Every final preference is recorded and kept on hand so that, upon phoning or visiting the store, your friends can find out what you would really like to receive for your wedding. The bridal gift registry is a blessing for everyone concerned. Your wedding guests won't be wondering what to give you, and can be confident that you will really appreciate their gifts. Since the registry list covers a wide assortment of items in every price range, your friends can have an ample selection to choose from. Be sure to register, and make every wedding gift a joy for your friends to give, and even more of a joy for you and your fu- ture husband to receive. GOSSAMER LOVELINESS . . . the bride is a vision in a romantic gown by Priscilla of drifting starched chiffon, appliqued with an intermingling of re-embroidered Alencon and delicate Bristol laces. Open V neckline and slender, tapered sleeves grace the molded bodice. Lace motifs accent the skirt front above the lace-scalloped hemline and chapel train. Lovely Alencon and Bristol laces border the chapel-length mantilla, floating from an Alencon lace-covered cap. Duties Of The Groom: Quickly go the days pre- ceding that all-important day in a young man's life, his wedding day! To quell chaos and ensure serenity, areferral checklist of tasks . for the groom is suggested, tasks to be performed by him or in conjunction with his bride-to-be or best man. Long before that mem- orable date, the busy groom must buy the ring, choose and draw up his wedding guest list, select his best man and ushers, and arrange for his correct dress and that of his ushers and best man. With the young lady of his choice, a wedding ring should be decided upon and given to the groom's best man for safe-keeping on the day of the wedding. They must obtain a mar- riage license (also to be given to the best man) and, in conjunction with honeymoon plans, con- sider passport require- ments, blood tests, birth and inoculation certifi- cates and so forth. Also entrusted to the groom's best man is the clergy- man's fee, to be presented after the ceremony. . The. groom is responsi- ble for his bride's bouquet --this and all the other flower arrangements and corsages in the wedding party should be discussed with her for coordination. Choosing his wedding present for his bride is the groom's task, too. Victorian Wedding z PLANNING A TRIP? ' for you! here and now!
