AT THE ALTAR.

When the procession stops they spread
out behind her in a semi circle the
bead blidesmaid-her sister if she has
one, If not The brldegroom's sister or
some near relative takes her botiquet
and gloves. The father or other rea-
tive who gives the bride away stands
on her left hand, ana at the inquiry,
"Who gives this woman to be married to
this man ?" he places her right hand in
that OF the clergyman. 1t is, of course,
the nearest relatives who stand close
round the bridal party 1t would be very
bad taste for mere acquaintances to
usurp their places. Immediately the
ceremony is concluded, the newly mar
ried couple, with the clergy and tie
nearest relatives, adjourn to the vestry
10 sign the registrar, the bride signing
IN her maiden name, and it is there that
the bride and bridegroom receive the
congratulations of the nearest relatives
IL favors are given they are distributed
generally by the bridesmaids, while the
wedding party is in the vestry. They
are more usually given than not, but
still there is nothing remarkable in their
being omitted. Ladies'. favors are gen.
orally spray Of jessamine or myrtle,
with silver leaves and white satin rib
bon the gentlemen's, a spray of oak
leaves and acorns, with silver and green
leaves, without ribbon. The brides
maids favors are generally slightly more
ornamental, and often have spray of
forget-me not. IL is the duty of the best
man to see that the carriage Is at the |
door, and he informs the bridegroom ;
the newly married pair then walk arm
in arm down the church, followed by |
the bridesmaids, in the same order as
before, and driye off first. 1T does, not.
matter IN what order the rest of the |
party follow them. When the wedding
in the afternoon, the guests go straight |
10 the house, and the refreshments pro
vided are such as are given at large
afternoon reception, with the addition,
Of course, of the wedding cake. When
lhe wedding is in the evening, all the
guests attend in evening dress, and after
.he ceremony, drive straight to the
house, where there is either an even
ng party and sitting down supper, or
A dance and an ordinary ball supper,

AT THE HOUSE.

On reaching the house the bride
throws up her veil, and receives the
congratulations of her friends and ac-
quaintances. In the interval between
the return from church and the break
fast the inspection of the wedding
presents gives employment to the
guests. They are displayed on tabl js
in the drawing-room, with the names
of the donors written legibly on cards
beside them. Some care is requisite
to arrange them properly they should
not be too crowded, and they Should
be classified-jewelry on one fable,
plate ON another, china on third and
so on. 1t is very usual to have an af-
ternoon party two days before the
wedding to exhibit the presents and
to this many are invited who are not
asked to the ceremony itself; the tros-
seau, too, is then generally exhibited.
This party is not necessary, but very
frequent. 1t may be observed that
groomsmen are not usual in good So
ciety, the bridegroom being attended
by one friend, the best man. When
breakfast is announced the bride and
bridegroom lead the way, and seat
themselves at the head of the table,
or as is now usual, in the centre, i'm
mediately opposite the wedding cake.
The father of the bride follows with
the mother Of the bridegroom, and
seats himself next his daughter. Dur
the interval before breakfast the hos
Tess has indicated to the gentleman
what ladies they are to take, and they
follow in due order of precedence, she
herself going down last with he BRIDE
groom's father and sitting next the
bridegroom. The best man always
lakes the head bridesmaid, and the
others are taken by gentlemen assign
ed to them by the hostess. 1t is usual
for them to sit opposite the bride, but
this is not essential. Very frequently
the breakfast is not laid out on one
long table, at which all the guests sit,
but is served like a ball supper, at a
long buffet, where the majority of he
guests partal<e of the meal standing,
while some small round tables are ap-

WEDDING ETIQUETTE.
A High English Authority Lays
Down the Law In all Its
Multifarlous Details.
From the London Queen.

| From the London Queen.
The invitations for a wedding are
more frequently in printed notes than
on cards. They are issued from ten
days to fortnight before the ceremony,
aid usually run as follows: "Sr John
and Lady Green request the honor OF
Lord and Lady ms presence at st,
Georges, Hanover Square, on Thurs
day, March IS, at II o'clock, and alter
wards at 120 Grosvenor Gardens y
Sometimes the hour Of the breakfast is
specified. When such is the case it i'm
plies that the guests are not expected to
drive straight to the house from the
church, but to present themselves about
twenty minutes before the hour named,
1t is, of course, obligatory that an in
vitation to wedding should be ans ger
ed at once. as people naturally wish to
know the number OF guests they may
expect. The guests all assemble at the
church and there await the bride, the
bridesmaids waiting in the porch and
falling into their places behind her.
The bride arrives in the carriage with
her mother and her father receives her
at the door, gives her his right arm and
leads her up TO the altar--Or, in case of
a choral or High Church wedding, to
the centre of the church, where the first
part of the service is performed and
where the bridegroom, attended by his
best man, awaits her. The brides eld-
est brother, or some othernear relative,
should also be in waiting at the door to
escort her mother. The number of the
bridesmaids varies according to taste;
the bride chooses what costume they
shall wear, generally indicating where
il is TO be procured, SO as to insure uni
formity, but she does not present them
with their dresses, gloves, or any other
part of their equipment. The bride
groom provides the bride and the brides
maids with their bouquets, which are
sent to them in the morning. He also
presents each bridesmaid with a souven
ir, such as locket, porte bonheur ring,
brooch or fan. These are sent to them
the day before and are worn at the we'd
ding. The bridegroom is attended by
one friend as best man, whose duty It
is to hold his hat and gloves, pay the
fees, see that the carriage is ready, and
IN short take all trouble off his hands.
Some care should be taken in properly
matching the bridesmaids as to height,
and they shonld clearly understand be-
forehand in what order they are to fol-
low the bride I'D the church.
