AnglO-maniac is an imitation. an

whose families don't use prayer book.
An innovation In weddings which has.
however,, nothing especial to do with
the English or American style, is to
strew the middle aisle Of tho church
with autumn leaves. This picturesu ,le
feature was introduced at a recent we'd
