Many Furlough Weddings Feature Informal Bride
The increasing number of wedding and engagement announcements appearing in the University Daily Kansan indicates that many a K.U. lass will be walking down the aisle to the refrain of Lohengrin's Wedding March this spring.
The speedily planned informal weddings bring back memories of the hectic days of World War II.
With many young men being called to active duty and many others already in service fortunate enough to obtain furloughs, weddings assume a more casual mood.
Manufacturers, well aware of this trend, are cooperating with the informal Bride of Spring 1951 with wedding gowns, suits and dresses designed to live up to her dreams of being the most exquisite bride ever, as well as offering her a practical double-purpose use.
If she wants to retain all the traditional aspects of a formal wedding with a floor length gown, she can choose, for example, an antique ivory satin gown with a color-matching lace overskirt and jacket. The jacket removes to reveal a shirred satin stloups bodice. And the gown can later be worn to dinner parties and dances.
The informal bride can wear her pretty wedding ensemble as a traveling costume if she wishes. For instance, a bride's beige dressmaker suit of faille or gabardine has a slim skirt and a waist-nipped jacket glittering with rhinestone buttons. The suit is a perfect traveler and when she removes the jacket the matching off-shoulder blouse gives her an extra teatime or dinner ensemble.
To be a memory-making bride is of course the desire of every bride-to-be. And what could be more effective as a memory-maker than a frotty ankle-length gown of eyelet organdy in a soft pink shade, styled with a tiered bountfant skirt effect, a delicate illusion of an off-shoulder neckline and a matching wisp of a bonnet. And yes, this too is a practical gown for it is exactly what fashion has dictated for shorter-
A traditional costume for the spring bride could be this gown of rayon marquisette styled with a flowing bouffant skirt and a fitted bodice. Avisco fabric.

Choose Your Easter Flowers At Smith Floral East 23rd Street (On Highway 10)
Dear Mom,
Next week is Easter and I'll be home to see you for a few days, but I want you to know why I sent you the Easter Lily before I came home.
The thought struck me a while ago that this might be the last Easter we'll have together for a while.
It may not be, but if it is, then I'll want to be able to think back with no regrets and remember that I remembered you this Easter—with flowers.
Your Loving Son,
