Who Pays for It.

Speaking about getting married, Har-
per's Bazar says: 1t is not etiquette for
the groom to furnish anything for his
own wedding but the ring and a bouquet
for the bride, presents for the BRIDE
maids and the best man, and some token
10 the ushers. He pays the clergyman.
He should not pay for the cards, the
carriages, the entertainment, or ANYTHING
connected with the wedding This is
decided in the high court Of etiquette
That is the province OF the family OF the
bride, and should be insisted upon. II
they are not able tn do this, there should
be no welding and no cards. 1t Is bet
ter for por,ionless girl to go to the al
tar in a travelling dress, and to send out
no sort OF invitations or wedding cards,
than to allow the groom to pay for them.
This is not to the disparagement OF the
rights of the groom. It is simply q
proper and universal etiquette,
At the altar the groom, il he is q mil
,lionsire. make his wife his equal BY say
ing: "With all my worldly goods thee
endow"; but until be has uttered these
words she has no claim on his purse for
clothes, or cards, or household furnish
ing, or anything but those articles which
come under the head Of such gifts as it
is lovers province TO give.
A very precise, old-time sris.ocrat Of
New York broke her dsughter's engage
ment to gentleman because he brought
her dress from Paris. She said, il he
did not know enough not 10 give her
daughter clothes while she was under
her roof, be, should not have her.
