...last walked Crown Princess Juliana, her bridal gown of ivory satin in classical lines, her veil of tulle embroidered with the silver roses of Lippe-Biesterfeld, her train 18 feet long carried by four chil dren, and her sash of orange blossoms sent by loyal Dutchmen who grow oranges in Italy. The twelve bridesmaids were in six pairs, each pair dressed in a differing pastel color to produce a soft "rainbow effect" desired by the Crown Princess. She tripped over a cushion just as she was about to sit down in one of the two "bridal chairs" - there...

Among the guests: the George Dupont Pratts (art patron), the Frederic Bayley Pratts (president of famed Pratt Institute in Brooklyn), the Charles...
...more irksome than penmanship. Nevertheless it has always been taught on the presumption that good legible hand writing can be learned in no other way. Last week this theory was flouted (as at a psychologists' meeting was flouted the more modern theory that punishment is bad for chil dren-see p. 22) by Dr. Ralph Haefner of Columbia University in a book* based upon studies by Dr. Benjamin De Kalbe Wood of Columbia and Dr. Frank Nugent Freeman of the University of Chicago.
