The Style at washington weddings.
Hartford Times Washington letter.l
The English fashion has become uni
versal in Washington in conducting
weddings. Groomsmen are dene away
with, and ushers take their places. AS
these last are essential to the number of
eight, the supply OF suitable and avail
able young men would be exhausted if
eight more were necessary as grooms-
men. Besides the effect around the
chancel is finer, if the girls pretty
dresses are not marred by the inter
mingling of black coats. Gentlemen
ought to rejoice that they do not have
to 90 through the trying ordeal Of kneel-
ing around o chsncel in full view Of
hundreds Of eager. curious eyes behind
them; girls who attend wedding just
for the sake of the scenic effect. The
floating drapery Of the bridesmaid ap
pears to even greater advantage when
the fair wearers kneel in graceful pos.
lures, but the men look ridiculous with
their coat tails touching the steps and
the soles Of their boots turned UPWARD.
At glance the observers can easily tell
if those boots are old or new and the
number worn. So groomsmen are
things Of the past, and the best man
has only to stand by the groom until be
receives the bride. The ushers, after
seating the guests, walk up the aisles OF
which they have charge, after the bridal
party enter, and take side seats. bl
