'Rumor has it that more than one
father has offered to pay his dar-
ling daughter to elope when he in-
vestigates the cost of a wedding.
But these days the girls are ada-
mant. They want a big wedding
with bridesmaids, seven - tiered
cakes, flowers and a good sized
reception, father’s worried look not
withstanding. Most fathers love the
idea too, even if they must mort-
gage the old family homestead to
walk daughter down the aisle in
style.
Four - months before the big
event smart girls start planning
wedding dress, bridesmaids, invi-
tations, flowers. Parents at this
point are reconciled to the whole
idea and enter into the spirit of it.
One group of girls queried at the
University of California on the
question of what type of wedding
Maner, Mrs. J. B. Wren, Mr. and
Mrs. Floyd Brown, and Mr. and
Mrs. J. B. Anderson and the hon-
orees.
BY VIVIAN BROWN
they would plan if they were plan-
ning one, confirmed the wildest
suspicions of any father.
Said Joni Mannix, women's edi-
tor of The Daily Trojan: “I want
a huge wedding when I get married
7 a big old fashioned affair in a
real pretty church. And I want a
nice reception afterwards.”
That* ought to be enough to make
any parent’s wallet wiggle.
Terry Fait, a freshman, feels the
same way and adds that she w'ants
."lots of bridesmaids and ushers,
and the whole works.” Perspiring
dad?
Dolores Holzman, a first year
law student at USC is a sister un-
der the skin. She wants a big
church wedding "nice and fancy."
One junior, Donna Ohio of San
Diego wants to get married in the
"church of our parish, by the priest
I’ve known all my life.”
The girls all have definite idea?,
and even Suzanne Lund, sopho-
more, who wants nothing more
than a "medium size wedding with
just her favorite people and close
friends" might change her mind
after seeing some of the splashiei
weddings. Or sophomore Betty Mar
tin who’d like "a small affair in a
chapel. Maybe with just the family
and a few friends.”
Every girl should keep in mind
the lovely wonder of this very spe-
cial day before she decides on a
hurry-up marriage. It is a day to
cherish for ever, and even if fam-
ily can’t manage a big wedding,
the smaller more intimate recep-
tion can be a lovely experience.
If Dad and Mom are strapped
for cash, the little family wedding
with a good size wedding cake
(made in the kitcheni and a lovely
bouquet for the bride can live for-
ever as the most wonderful day in
the world. The point is to share
this day with the people you love
best, even if they can’t give you
the kind of wedding you’d like to
have.
Mother and Dad look forward to
vour wedding day so give them a
break.

sized door would do. And, it’s the same with everything
in your home. Half done jobs don’t do the job . . . they
can’t because they’re not big enough. Electric wiring is
like that, too. If the wiring is up-to-date, if the wires them-
selves are large enough, then, and only then, can Reddy
Kilowatt do a full-sized job for you. If you find your lights
blink when appliances are turned on, your TV picture
shrinks or your toaster is slow to heat, chances are yourN
wiring is at fault. Live complete modern living — the elec-
tric, the modern way with good wiring. To get good wir-
ing? That’s easy ... call your qualified electrical contractor.
