DEAR FLOORED:_ Live

I'm having trouble with my
mom over a girl. Liz is 16, a
brain, great at sports and she's
really. neat:' The reason Mom
doesn't like her ' is because she
doesn't pay much attention to
the way she gets herself
together. Mom says she looks
like a tramp.

Sorry - you weren't able, to' •
share in this pleasant interlude,
but then you weren't invited to
the Baha -i wedding in our back-
yard,
When I was in the newspaper
business, I loathed writing -up

nable details of the bride's
costume', down to the last, lousy.
stephanotis. Notthis one.
It wasn't all smooth sailing.
My wffe utisisted that the lawn
be raked..1 insisted that she was
going to spoil the natural setting
of golden leayes the couple
wanted.
It rained all week, and I
thought I was home free. But
the day before the ceremony, it
dried. up, and my 'cook was
goosing me to get to work. She
is a -better, or more persistent,
insister than I.
With a herculean effort and
the aiu of two small boys, I got
the hedge . trimmed, the lawn
raked, the dead weeds pulled
and a pile of fresh leaves.cover-
ing the old sand -box which ser-
ves as a combination compost -
heap and garbage -dump, The
groom came around and asked
what the point was of raking the.
leaves.
During the night, naturally, it
rained and blew, and by morn-
ing, the lawn looked exactly as it
had when I'd started the day be-
fore. : My ons 'satisfaction was
going around: all morning
muttering "I told you so."
Tension increased as the day
wore on. It was pouriing; The
girls' dresses and new shoes
would be ruined. People would
be tracking'mud into the house.
The neighbors, who'd been look-
ing forward to the spectacle for
weeks, would be deeply disap-
pointed should the ceremony be
moved indoors. ,
As the Saturday morning
passed, and the drizzle held, `no
word from the • bride. ° We
Phoned, and her mother, with
.supreme eol?'fidence, said it' was -
going to clear by noon. At noon,
I took a little sashay out to
check. The sky wasplike the in-
side of a tar barrel and the
Scotch mist showed no signs of
abating.
But those Baha -i's must have
something"' special going for
them:1By one p.m., it had stop-
ped raining. By two it was clear,
and a number of guests had ar-
rived. (Typically, the bride had
issued invitations for two p.m.,'
the groom for three p.m.)
By three, i>,was one of those
beat}.tiful, warm, autumn days,
with the sun catching the high-
lights of the maples, the grass al-
most dry, and about 80 guests in
a variegation of colors that made
even the full glory of the fall fol-
iage look a bit dim.
They piled out of vans and
cars and moved into the yard.
There was 'everything from blue
jeans to smashing maxi dresses,
buckskin jackets to white
shawls, colorful headbands to
cowboy boots, ultra -mod tweed
jackets to gaucho hats.
The principals were not to be
outdone. The bride, with 'long,
.sleek golden hair, wore a full-
length hand -crocheted off white
dress w,iti} : oat ching h000d, Tom,
groom was no less imposing,
with beard and Afro hair style,

Ninety per cent of the guests
were under 21, happy and ex-
cited, but mate and reverent
during the ceremony.
° The service- itself was° charm-
ing in its simplicity and sincer-
ity. Friends and relatives read
selected prayers. There was no
rituala. s such,: no sermon. The
couple was attended .by a Wit-
ness, ' who did just that — wit-
nessed.
The only .music was a Modern
song, with the refrain; "See me,
touch me, hold .me, heal me",
soft and lovely, , sung by our Kim
and friend 'Mike Hanna..
Then the bride and groom
pledged themselves to each other
and to God, kissed emphatically,
and it was all over.'
They can have a Baha -i wed-
ding . in my backyard any time.
Except February. I will be bar-
' becued before I will shovel three
feet of snow out of my yard for
anything exc4pt the Second
