I got over to the Sorority

and perchased an apple pie
which was just like the pies my

absolutely delicious. No wonder
the baking goes so quickly.

couple of hints. for the
brides-to-be whp want to take
advantage of this. .FREE
Signal -Star service.'
First of all, arrange with your
photographer BEFORE the
wedding for the wedding picture
to be used in the newspaper.
Most photpgraphers provide• the
print to the newspapers f-ree--of
charge. It is a kind of advertising
for. them as 'well as a special
service tobrrdaLcouples:
If your.. wedding photos are
being , taken in color, the
photographer will often take a
couple of shots with black and'
white film for the newspaper.
This avoids' the delay' of having,
color prints specially processed
so . they can ,be- used in the
newspaper.
Second,- it is wise to -fill out
the form 'Containing the wedding
information for the newspaper
• BEFORE,, the wedding. Usually,
the brides knows well in advance
of her wedding what she and, her
attendants ° will • be wearing : as
well as most of the other details.

Everything .was in extreme
good taste though, and the
