University when she spoke at the

bride’s bouquet and the men’s
carnations,” she said.
Miss Gresham spoke on the
length of the engagement.
“I believe that a couple should

consider themselves engaged and
this date should not be too far
in the future,” Miss Gresham ad
vised.
Miss Eilers spoke on the prob

the differences between formal
and civil weddings.
“When a couple is engaged for
a long period of time, their atti

marriage, basic personality prob

cause broken engagements.
